I now have 2 of these and the moles, chipmunks and other burrowing animals just seem to have gone away! It really does work.

We live in the White Mountains of AZ and have 5 acres infested with moles. We have purchased 6 of these windmills and instead of using 4 ft of conduit as suggested, we used 8 ft which greatly increases the large rattling noise several fold. With just a light breeze the windmills spin away and make a huge difference in the gopher activity. We have had these for two yrs now and I would definitely purchase these again and recommend them as well. They are much cheaper than traps, which I would use if they were more affordable.

Don't waste your money on this product. I bought one and put it in the yard. The bearings were shot within a week of average wind. This thing is truly junk.

This windmill has had no effect on the numerous moles inhabiting my garden---in fact I have mole tunnels going up to and around the pipe it is mounted on !!!! Plus after haveing in use after 3 months the bearing went out and I had to buy a new bearing ---the only readon I bought a new bearing is I am using the windmill like a whirlygig----it looks nice---

I bought two of these, less then two months ago installed. Both have failed due to bad bearings. They never worked long enough to find out if they ran off the moles! Do not buy, they are a POS.

Bought two of these last year. If they did anything, they attracted more moles. Tunnels from moles collapsed this spring with rains and yard is full of ditches now. This is the worst my yard has looked in the 12 years I've lived here.

This product did NOTHING to chase the two moles that have taken up permanent residence under my house. NOTHING!!!!!

My vote for one of the worst products ever. Didn't do squat to chase moles away.

The two windmills arrived in good shape and on time. I had a severe infestation of gophers in a vegetable garden and bordering lawn area (about 1,000 sf). I'm guessing the windmills have been operational now for 5-6 weeks. Since installing I've had about five new mounds compared to six to ten a week before.

The windmills spin well in my light wind area. We typically get a breeze in the evening (maybe 2-4 mph) that seems to be enough to irk the gophers. I'll likely get another one or two to take care of problem spots on the other side of the property.

I bought one of these from a different store a couple years ago. The first year I thought it may have been working. This year I forgot to put it up until I noticed tunnel action in my 100s.f. garden... and about 1/4 of my 75 garlic plants gone, and 7 out of 8 kale plants gone with tunnels under them. So I put the windmill back up, lubed the bearings and let it spin in our near constant wind. Like one other reviewer said, I also have tunnels right up to the pipe it is mounted on, and everywhere else. I'm guessing the pocket gophers or whatever I have are also responsible for my lack of sunchokes and probably the potatoes as well.

It makes a nice yard ornament, but it doesn't keep the tunneling critters from eating your food before you can! I guess I'll have to try raised beds with a heavy wire mesh on the bottom next year if I really want to be more self-sufficient with food production.
