Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Effective for lawns, gardens, ball fields, golf courses, and other areas pests disrupt, this battery-operated device repels moles, gophers, ground squirrels, voles, and other burrowing animals by generating sonic sound waves. It is humane an alternative to traps and poisons. It automatically generates sound waves (which become vibrations in the ground) every 15 seconds, convincing animals danger lurks so that they flee. Because varying soil conditions transmit sound waves differently, a switch permits adjustment to 300, 400, or 500 Hz, depending on what's effective. It covers up to 9,000 square feet. Watertight and ruggedly constructed of aluminum, the device goes completely into the ground so it can be mowed over. It measures 16-1/2 inches long and 1-3/4 inches in diameter. Two D-cell batteries (not included) provided 4 to 6 months of operation. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars poor construction, March 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lentek PC8LG Deluxe Mole Contro (Lawn & Patio)

Regarding the other buyer's review of the construction issue, the tip on both units I ordered incurred the same problem, thus the watertight "seal" becomes faulty and water enters the unit. One of the units corroded from the water and stopped working within 2 weeks of installation. I now have gopher activity within 100sf of the working unit (installed 5 weeks), and in solid clay soil, which is supposedly the best soil for operation. So far, not so good.

I was skeptical of this until I tried it. We had a regular mole interstate in our front yard. I planted this in the center of the yard and the moles have gone elsewhere. I've order two more to increase the coverage... but it does work wonders!!

The only drawback in the design is the way the tip is secured. I pulled the stake out of the ground and the tip was left behind; in order to extract the tip, I had to dig it out (which was a messy proposition... at best).

I have both this as well as a Weitech model. The gophers don't even seem to notice the noise, regardless of frequency setting. They are continuing to eat plants less than 1 foot away from the noisemakers.
