Bonide(BND61121) - Molemax Sonic Spike Repeller, Solar Powered Mole and Gopher Repellent

Update. I bought two of these. I had to wait until the ground was not frozen to put them in the ground. Unfortunately, because I live in WI it wasn't until recently that I got them in the ground. And only one of them works. Its too late to return the other. I would suggest waiting to purchase them until the ground thaws so you can return within the return window date. I read the packaging and how they will replace defective product. So I wrote to them. They are sending me a replacement! So happy and 100% satisfied. Thank you!

No more Moles in MY YARD.

(May 2015) I hope it's not a fluke, or coincidence, but I put the stake in according to the instructions, and i haven't seen the little mole bastards back since. This device has a different screech than the Sweeney's version. It actually sounds like a mole in distress vs the Sweeney sonic stake that seems designed to annoy vs scare. But, the result is that I haven't seen any more mole burrows since the day after I put it in the ground.I was worried about hearing the device, but if placed properly -- a one inch wide hole dug about 12 inches into the ground, sensor up exposing it to at least 4 hours of direct light per day -- it emits a noise well underground so you would NOT be able to hear it unless you were next to it and it was very quiet outside. Even then, it's a low whine that won't disturb you even if you are in the yard. But it seems to frighten the rodents!The device is weatherproof (be sure to place it low in the ground so you don't have mower issues) but plan to pull it out (and turn it off) for winter storage (when moles aren't around anyway). I am pleased, but will update this review at the end of the summer or when/if the moles return.UPDATE (June 2015): I bought this sonic stick in early May, it worked fine (see review above), but in mid-June, it stopped working, and now moles have returned. No reset, no indicators, no sound! Useless piece of plastic now. I pulled up the Bonide version, replaced it with the Sweeney's version, and no moles again. $20 for two months of Bonide protection/repellent is unacceptable!

I purchased these in May but they haven't really lasted. One refuses to make any sound at all, the other one also wasn't working until I smacked it. The one that won't work, I disassembled and noticed multiple crimped areas in the wires, they are quite thin and are routed poorly. There's no water damage but they haven't been sorayed with water so no surprise there. There is no seal around the clear section on top, so a good spray would easily penetrate. I'm going to re-wire both and see what happens. As I dug in I discovered that it was not outputting voltage to the battery when switched on, which suggests, to me at least, that either there's a serious design flaw or these things are just borked.

After years of trying every product on the store shelf and buying the Talpirid worms for voles and moles on line, nothing worked.I thought why not try the solar spike for moles?I bought one and after a week, we noticed there were no new tunnels. So I went online and bought one for every side of my yard.Works so well, the neighbors yard next to us have no more tunnels?Buy this product, you will be glad to finally get rid of the pest and no more stepping in holes from the damage they cause in the yard.
