Bonide Products Inc. BND692 037321006923 692150 Mole Max and Vole Repellent Granules, 10-Pound

I started using this product about 2 months ago. The gophers seemed to go away but to the edges of my property and I can’t seem to get rid of them there. It seems like I was getting rid of them faster with the old method my father used to do by flooding their tunnels and hitting them with the shovel when they came out. Now since they are on the edges, when I flood their tunnels they come out on my neighbors side and I can’t get to them 😠

I was unclear on what to do with this product, but the directions said spread it on the yard in succeeding circles until you've eliminated the moles. The product does not have a chemical smell. It spread easily and filtered down between the grass blades. Still waiting to see how long it takes for the little guys to leave.

I have tried all kinds of traps and poisons for gophers. I decided to try this despite little available research-based evidence that it works. It definitely does not work well in a localized application to protect a tree/plants, but it might work a little to deter from a bigger area.Evidence: I wanted to protect the roots of a young citrus tree that a gopher was interested in. I spread this heavier than recommended in a 6 ft radius around the tree. Watered it in as instructed. The gopher was back with new tunnels and mounds right where this stuff was the very next night! I then put this stuff directly in soil that I used to plug the main tunnel about 2 ft long, also as directed. The next morning the gopher had re-excavated directly through the heavily laced main tunnel!I then spread the rest of the bag using a spreader across a larger area of adjacent grass that also had gopher activity. This area measured about 20' X 60'. I laid it down heavier than recommended. to give it the best chance of working. We could smell it during the evening in the yard. With this bigger application the gophers seemed to have been annoyed and moved away from that area to an adjacent untreated area as intended. Hard to know if that was coincidence or the product worked better when used across a bigger area.It seems a determined gopher will just ignore this in a local space that they like, but they might be annoyed enough by it in a bigger space to move to another space.

I bought four of these 10 lb bags within 4 months. I used two of them within the last week in a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot area in my yard where new molehills appeared every morning. That's twenty pounds! I watered them in, also. Each morning, new molehills appeared, as many as five at once. Some were as large as half a basketball. It's like the mole was laughing at me, saying, "Is that all you've got?" I won't be buying any more, but am, as of today, giving liquid castor oil a try.

Keeps the moles away like clock work. I can tell when it has been 3 months because they start to come back but gone as soon as I spread another bag
