Mole Nets

Grid from moles - a continuous cloth with small cells of different diameter from metal, polymer. The simple design does not require special styling skills, it is easy to install in a vertical, horizontal position. The barrier method has high efficiency, durability, reliability, safety. The grid against moles does not allow them to conduct normal livelihoods, which helps bring moles.

Operating principle

The grid against moles is installed in a horizontal, vertical position. In the first case, serves as a barrier to moles could not penetrate the site. Digging into a certain depth, does not allow the mole to pave the course. Insofar as underground diggers they dig tunnels at the level of 10-100 cm from the surface, it is advisable to bury the protective grid for 150-200 cm.

The second variant of laying involves placing a grid over the entire land plot at a certain depth. Moles while digging tunnels and holes throw the earth to the surface, form mole. Without such an opportunity, the animal moves to the territory where it can be done.

On a note!

The principle of operation is extremely simple, but there are some nuances. Not always the mole grid under the lawn gives the desired results. Despite its ease of use, there are certain rules that should be followed.

Choosing the right material

Mole Nets

The grid has a different diameter of cells, made of metal, modern polymer. To ensure a complete barrier, you need to consider the size mole, the principle of its activities.The animal is small on average 13 cm in length. The body is flexible, oblong. The animal digs the ground with its front shovel-like paws with long claws, screwing its muzzle into the hole, the whole body. Hind legs pushes the soil. The cell size should be as small as possible, otherwise the mole will overcome the barrier. Permissible value of 25 * 25 mm.

The second very important point is the material. Iron mesh is durable, reliable, but short-lived. The material is in the ground, subjected to deformation, corrosion, gradually rusting, losing strength. In a few years, the mole will be able to break through, gnaw through the cells, get into the garden, the lawn, into the garden. This deficiency has been eliminated by the producers of the modern grid from moles from polymeric materials.

On a note!

Plastic construction is extremely durable, durable, not exposed to the negative effects of moisture, resistant to frost and microorganisms. Having established a barrier on the lawn according to all the rules, you can forget about fight against moles on your site.

Installation Methods

The main task of the design is to prevent the animals from penetrating the site or to stop their activities.The most correct option - to take care of the protection of their possessions before the planting of trees, garden crops, digging flower beds, lawns. But as practice shows, they begin to sound the alarm when large mole cells appear on a beautiful lawn or young trees in a garden begin to suffer.

Mole netting in the garden

There are several ways to set the grid from moles.

• Vertical. It is laid on the surface of the earth in a continuous veil all over the lawn at a depth of 5-50 cm. Above, they sprinkle the earth or leave it lying there. As the grass grows, the mesh will disappear, it will not be visible.
• Horizontal Designed to fence the entire lawn. They dig in the construction to a depth of 1 m around the perimeter of the entire garden, vegetable garden, lawn, or in certain areas. From the ground the construction is taken out to 20 cm, it turns out a kind of fence.
• Solid. The grid is laid in a continuous cloth throughout the area of ​​the lawn. At the joints impose one part of the grid on the second, overlapping by 10 cm.

Each case has its drawbacks. With a vertical grid position on the lawn, it is difficult to determine the optimal depth. A mole can hunt at a depth of 5 to 150 cm from the surface.To eliminate this drawback, an additional horizontal lawn protection is required, which will not allow the animals to climb the plot.

Instruction

It is very easy to install the grid from moles, but significant physical costs are required. It will be necessary to attract equipment for digging trenches, removing the layer of soil. An exception is when the net is fixed on top of the lawn.

Horizontal installation:

1. A trench not less than 30 cm wide and 80 cm deep is dug along the entire perimeter of the plot.
2. The grid is installed taking into account that it should protrude by 30 cm over the ground.
3. In place of the joints stack design overlap up to 10 cm.
4. Fall asleep trench, rammed earth.

Vertical installation:

1. Throughout the site to remove the soil at 10 cm.
2. Lay out the net in a solid canvas.
3. In place of the joints laid overlap by 10 cm, additionally secured with staples.
4. Fall asleep ground, tamped.

For a partial protection of a certain land plot, you can use your own forces, dig a trench, remove the top layer of soil, then fill it up manually. To install a barrier in large areas, it is more expedient to attract equipment, and these are additional costs.If everything is done according to the rules, the protection of their possessions will be provided for many years. fight against moles, shrews and other pests are not needed.
