Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup of castor oil
- 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap
- 1 gallon of water
Here’s what to do:
Mix the castor oil and liquid dish soap in a bucket with the gallon of water. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined. Once mixed, pour the solution into a spray bottle for easy application. Spritz the affected areas of your garden generously, focusing on areas prone to mole activity.
But why does this mixture work wonders for mole prevention? Castor oil contains compounds that emit an odor moles find unpleasant, deterring them from digging in treated areas. The addition of dish soap helps the solution adhere to the soil, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness.
Remember to reapply the solution after heavy rainfall or every few weeks for continuous protection against mole intrusion.
As a final tip, regularly inspect your garden for signs of mole activity and treat any new digging promptly. By incorporating this preventive measure into your gardening routine, you can enjoy a mole-free garden and pristine landscapes all season long.
