Defenders Mega-Sonic Mole Repeller Stake (Battery Powered, Hi-Vis, Humane, Natural Mole Deterrent) - STV645, Multicolour, 8.5x12x28 cm

I have moles, in 1 side of my garden, nearest the open fields. I wanted to stop the moles spreading across my paddock, so I put these in the otheraide to discourage their advance and hopefully repel back to the country side.Next day there is a mole hill right next to this device. Looks like the mole came over to see what it is and maybe even mate with it. WTF. 2 days later and 8 mole hills surrounding this device. I have left it 1 week and then paddock is a complete mess.It does not repel. Do not buy. I have now order traps because I tried the nice approach and it didn't work so poor little mole is going to get cut in half by a spring loaded scissor mechanism. Save your money, buy traps.

I came back from holiday to find 40 mole hills of various ages, with two or three new ones appearing every morning. Installed this, and the result was an immediate halt in mole hill production. Today the first new mole hill has appeared -- it is 37 yards from the device, which corresponds well with the manufacturer's claim that it is effective over a radius of 38 metres. So I need either to reposition my device (they say tree roots and foundations interfere with its working, so that may not quite do the job) or buy a second one... Highly recommended (and I will update this review if it stops working at any point).OK -- I've learned a lesson the hard way. There was no rain for ten days, so I watered my lawn quite heavily (actually more heavily than I had intended -- I set the sprinkler going and forgot about it for an hour or two). Of course this made the soil soft and easy going for moles and they promptly returned, digging everywhere. The ground has now dried out, rain has fallen, and my soil is no different from the surrounding area, so they have scarpered. So the lesson is if you make your lawn very, very attractive these things won't work. But they will work fine if your lawn is no more attractive than the surrounding area.

I HAD a mole which appeared from my neighbours already obliterated lawn and dug a few hills on my beautiful lawn, so it was try this or dig it out and disect it with joy. Unfortunately for my sanity, the solar repeller worked with satisfaction and my neighbours have more hills than the pennines!!But for me peace and tranquility in my garden, yes it works, and although it makes a buzz noise every minute it is hardly noticeable and quite frankly, I don't care how loud it is when it does the job!!!well done manufacturer for a well made metal spike with good quality solar panel which works well even in wet dull conditions!!A great buy and highly recommended, visible results in 3 days and 2 weeks later still no MOLES!!!!!Keep it a secret from the neighbours and enjoy.

This has been very difficult to review, as its effectiveness seems to have varied a great deal over time.First impressions were positive - easy to put in place, and through long summer and shorter winter days the solar panel has kept it buzzing every few minutes.It was purchased to persuade a mole in a small area of lawn to head back to the neighbouring field it seemed to have arrived from...having raised over a dozen mole hills it had made quite a mess. At first this seemed to do the job - buzzing away and no more mole hills. Then, a few weeks later, and despite still buzzing the mole (or moles) was back with a vengeance....Cut forward a few weeks and the mole has moved to another small lawn, leaving the one with the mole spike alone...So how can I sum this up? This is not a guaranteed solution to moles. It does though seem to have some success at times; my best guess this is largely down to the weather and how wet or dry the ground is and in turn how effective the pulses this sends out at deterring the moles. If you are looking at only a non lethal solution it may be worth a try, but the conventional traps are likely to be the more effective solution if moles are a real problem for your garden.

Thought this device was good at first as we had no moles in first 2 weeks. Then it broke. We changed the batteries and thought it started to work for a bit but there were no vibrations and the moles have come back so utter waste of money. I will be asking for a refund.

amazingly these really work well, my daughter had a big mole problem and we purchased one of these not expecting it to work but it did!Unfortunately they get badly affected by water ingression which stops them working, so I have just purchased my third one, but will silicone seal all the areas of possible water ingression.The 5 stars is for the effectiveness of the product, I would only give 2 or 3 stars for product longevity.

Very disappointing, i do not recommend this item.

I would like to warn anybody thinking of purchasing this device to stop and read my advice. Not only did the device fail to get rid of the mole but the sonic vibrations seemed to attract the mole. After just two days this product had become some sort of idol to the moles and they made lots of little mole hills in the shape of an Inverted Pentagram with their vibrating idol in the centre.This device had escalated what was a single mole annoyance into a cult of moles with sinister intentions. Thankfully I did find a solution on the interweb and it worked perfectly.All you need is a high pressure hose, tennis racket and tube of Vaseline. Simply insert the hose into the most recent mole hole and turn the water on. This forces the mole to ejaculate from one of its pesky holes and shoot a few feet into the air.At this point you swing at it with the tennis racket and try to knock it into your neighbour’s garden. I made the fundamental error telling my neighbour about my intentions and to my disappointment he was ready and waiting with his own tennis racket. After about 90 seconds of mole tennis I got distracted by my camel mosaic and my neighbour produced a stunning backhander to return the mole to its lost idol.I was lucky as my other neighbour is a very old lady and I managed to take her down in just two sets. The Vaseline was used as a celebratory lubricant.

il mio giardino era infestato da talpe tanto da sembrare un groviera,preso lo scacciatalpe le talpe se ne sono andate,ovviamente se si ha un giardino grande e meglio prenderne più d una.ad un mese di distanza dall acquisto per ora funziona ancora e almeno la mia colonia di talpe non sono ancora tornate

Taupe juste a coté. Je doute de son éfficassité.

Dieses Gerät saugt Batterien Größe "D" extrem schnell von 1,6V gekauft auf 1,5V im Einsatz und hört dann auf zu vibrieren.

Der Kaufvorgang verlief wie gewohnt völlig schmerzfrei, schnell und unkompliziert.Voller Erwartung habe ich das Gerät installiert, leider setzt die erwünschte Wirkung auch nach mehreren Wochen nicht ein.Somit muss ich erneut nach geeigneten Mitteln gegen Wühlmäuse suchen.Schade!!!!Norbert Rieger

El producto es bueno. Compre el mismo en aki hace dos años. Y ese tiempo ha durado.Quizá el radio de accion no es de 15m. Yo diria que es mas bien 8-10. Pero para mi qje tengo un jardín pequeño me basta y sobra
