The write-up for this product says that it is for burrowing rodents and covers an area of about 2,500 sq. ft. so I bought one as a gift for friends in Pennsylvania having problems with a groundhog in their yard. They installed it at the entryway to the burrow along with mothballs and dirt to cover the entry. After just three days, guess what happened? The groundhog actually moved the repeller about a foot away from his burrow's entrance, spewed the mothballs around and moved the dirt away. The groundhog is now happily going about his life as usual with the repeller beeping incessantly a foot from his burrow's entry. Perhaps this groundhog has hearing problems? Perhaps this repeller doesn't work for this particular species of burrowing rodent? In any case, it was very disappointing that this product did not work as its write-up indicates...but we all had a good laugh anyway!

I bought both this as well as a Lentek model. I figured I'd test which was better. Neither work. The gophers ate two 4 foot high hollyhocks less than 18 inches away from the noisemakers. I'd say that pretty much says it all. I'm looking into castor oil and castor seeds now. If those don't woerk, it's back to poison.

This doesnt work. We had it for 2 weeks and the mole still came back. It also makes a VERY irritating noise. I would never recommend this to anyone. Worthless noisemaker!

I bought one of these last summer. Since then, we've been moving it around the yard to keep the moles/ground squirrels out of those areas. They do move away from the product, but move back when we move it to another place in the yard :(

The reason we love it now, though, is that it is keeping the RABBITS out of our garden! We used to have three cats that did the garden patrol to keep the rabbits away, but unfortunately, we lost two of them over the winter. In the spring, when I planted my broccoli plants in the far corner of my garden, the rabbits started to eat it, killing about 3 plants and severely 'pruning' about 10 more. I tried putting the mole repeller in that patch, and it has worked like magic! The rabbits are living up to their reputation of being afraid.

In addition, we haven't changed the batteries in the repeller yet! We took them out for the winter, but our Duracells are still going strong!

I don't think I'd be enjoying my great broccoli crop without this product, so I'm one satisfied customer!

This item seems to be working nicely in our garden....
