There seemed to be less evidence of gophers in the beginning, but they are back as usual. I've been using it for three months.

I installed the MoleContro in the flower bed last night. This morning I didn't see those eerie holes and mulch scattered everywhere. So, it seems to be working. The annoyance is that you can still hear the faint buzzing sound within 4-5 feet of the MoleContro even though the whole device is buried underground (with only the cap and ring visible). I guess I just have to tune it out somehow...

I have tried everything to get rid of moles: castor oil-based repellents, grubicides, balls of fishing line, smoke bombs, car exhaust and these sonic repellents. The fact is: the only effective way to control moles is to trap (ie. English scissors) or spear them. These MoleContro's do seem to annoy the critters into moving elsewhere, but the effect is only temporary (lasting about two weeks). Even this effect is difficult to determine because moles change their digging patterns over time and you can't tell if the repellents worked or if they had just gone somewhere else on their own. In any case, after two weeks, they burrow up to and around the repellents with impunity.
