| Frequently Asked Questions |
1. How long does the product last once it is applied? In general, the Chase
Mole & Gopher repellent granules remain effective for 2-3 months after
application. Under normal conditions, Chase Mole granules will go to work
right after you apply them and within a few days your yard will be free of these
nuisance critters for several months. The things that can reduce the
effectiveness of the product are sandy soils and excessive rain or irrigation.
These things can cause the product to be washed out of the soil and /or
become too diluted to remain effective. If there is excessive rain after applying,
simply re-apply and begin the process again.
2. What is the product made of? Chase Mole granules are made of ground-up
corn cobs (80%) and castor oil (20%). The product also contains a small
amount of surfactant (soap) to help the castor oil mix with water and penetrate
into the ground. The castor oil pellets are very small and spread over a large
area (one pound/1000 sq. ft.). Once applied they need to become wet (rainfall
or irrigation) to work their magic. This wetting process releases the castor oil
down into the ground where the critters live and feed. It also dilutes the castor
oil so it is not a threat.
3. Is Chase Mole safe for people, pets, wildlife and birds? Our experience over
more than 15 years has not shown any instances where people, pets or other
animals were put in harms way by the product. Just keep the pets out of the
area during application and until after the granules are wet and all should be
fine. Even if an animal were to eat the pellets, the worst that would happen
would be some temporary stomach distress.
4. How does Chase Mole & Gopher repellent work? The ingredients simply
smell, taste, and feel bad to burrowing critters, which repels them from the
area. Chase Mole repellent granules do not kill moles, gophers, or armadillos.
They simply create conditions in the soil that the critters don’t like and they
vacate the area.
5. Has any research been done on the product? Yes, tests were conducted by
University of Kentucky personnel in 2005 on three areas that had a history of
serious mole infestations. Over the 12 week test period, after application of the
product, a 95.3% rate of success was documented (meaning no new mole
hills noted in the treated areas). The report concludes, “The significant
lessening of mole activity observed in each of the treated plots versus all of the
control plots indicates that both the granular and liquid Chase Mole repellents
had a positive effect in reducing mole activity.”
6. Can Chase Mole damage my lawn or garden plants? No. The product has
been used in 1000’s of applications and has never done any harm to lawns or
other plantings. In fact, there is some evidence that the inert corn cobs
granules (used as a carrier for the castor oil) can help to suppress certain lawn
diseases.
7. Does the product kill or discourage earthworms or other beneficial
insects? Chase Mole granules do not discourage earthworms or other
beneficials.
8. Can Chase Mole Granules be used to get rid of moles and/or gophers in a
vegetable garden? The only caution for this situation is not to use the product
where you are growing root crops like potatoes, radishes, beets, etc. Where
you have garden crops that grow above ground like tomatoes, peppers, beans,
etc. there will be no problem. As a rule, just wash all your garden produce with
a natural soap before consuming it.
9. What is the shelf-life of the product? The castor oil granules can be stored
in a cool, dry location for several years. They will remain effective as long as
they aren’t frozen of stored in super-hot conditions. Keep them in a tightly
sealed plastic bag or container.
10. Will Chase Mole and Gopher Repellent work on other burrowing pests?
User experiences indicate that the granular version of Chase Mole will reduce
the infestation of various burrowing animals. Many customers report success
driving away armadillos with the product. Chase granules have also been used
to rid lawn areas of voles. The only difference with applications for repelling
voles would be to spread the product over the lawn area but not water it into the
soil. Voles are mostly surface- dwellers so leaving the pellets on the surface
seems to work best for these pests. Some university research also backs that
experience, with recorded observations that rabbits, squirrels, woodchucks and
other pests also avoided the areas treated for vole infestation.
11. Are some times of the year worse for mole infestation? Yes. The most
active period for mole burrowing near the surface of your lawn is the early
spring and mid to late fall. During the dryer, hot summer months, moles go
deeper (as do the worms and grubs that they feed on) and therefore are they
are less noticeable.
12. What do moles eat? First they are big eaters. An eastern mole can
consume its own weight in insects every day! Among other insects, the mole
eats the common grub that lives a few inches below the surface of our
beautifully trimmed lawn, but they primarily rely on earthworms for the majority
of their diet. Tested lawns that were regularly treated with grub insecticide have
shown a somewhat lowered rate of mole infestation, but they were not mole
free ... and it only takes one adult mole to create havoc.
13. Do moles reuse the same tunnels? Yes and no. They rarely reuse a tunnel
that they're using to forage for some time. On the other hand, they will reuse the
tunnel in which they live and breed daily. The best way to find the active tunnel
is to flatten all visible tunnels. If one is a nesting or active tunnel, within a day
(or two) the ridges will reappear. If it is a feeding tunnel, it will remain flattened
for several (or more) days.
14. How about gophers? To begin, we often confuse moles and gophers
because they each can build cone like mounds in lawns. Gophers (they aren't
normally found east of the Mississippi River) don't dig the tunnels that we
normally associate with moles. In truth the two species are no more closely
related than dogs and cats. Being a rodent, the gopher is related to squirrels
and mice and like them has fairly large incisor teeth suited for gnawing the
plants on which they feed. The mole is almost purely an insectivore (insect
eater) with very limited interest in plants. The gopher is an omnivore but mostly
prefers eating plants.
15. Where can Chase Mole repellent granules be purchased? The product is
available online at www.americanatural.com and from several other online
retailers. If you are trying to find a local retail outlet, we have several
independent garden centers that carry the product. Please give us a call at 641-
472-3963/ext.105 or e-mail info@soiltechcorp.com and we will try to steer you
to one of them.
