Did not work for moles. They just ran around it and all my flowers. However, I think the snakes do not like it. I only bought one. Plan to buy others. We live close to two ponds. Soooo, one in each garden and at the outside faucets would not be out of the question. Hoping this is true and not me just assuming because I haven't seen one means it is working. Good luck. Excited to see your results!
They went from $33.99 on Amazon the day this video was posted to $45.99 this morning when I was going to order them. So not happening because I need 3 packs.
plant a wine bottle but leave the long neck out of the ground then put one of the kids whirlygigs on a stick in it. It echoes inside the bottle underground voles and such can’t take and they move on. The whirligig is so you see the neck and don’t hit it with the lawnmower lol. It really works
i've never heard that one. Gonna have to give it a try. First I need to drink some wine. Hope it work cause I've got lots of voles and need an excuse to drink more wine.
I’ve only been subbed since the butthead tried to steal the animals... but even I know you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull on Superman’s cape and you don’t mess with Zach’s Xenia!
LOL! Wednesday night I transplanted a squash and a zucchini into an unused bed for my landlady. Thursday morning there was a curious "rose" of squash leave at the base of what used to be the squash plant where the gopher pulled the whole plant down his hole, but the leaves were too big to follow. Friday morning the entire zucchini plant was gone, and a small hill of dirt was all that was left! He figured out how to get those leaves through. That gopher is thinking, "At last, Uber Eats is in my neighborhood!"
Oh no guys I had that issue too. They get use to it and it's just like music to their ears after a few weeks. You need to get sticky traps and bait them with juicy gum and basil leaves. I know it sounds weird but it works. Az was full of rodents this last year it was horrible. I replaced my entire garden twice buying started before I went to some older farmers for help.
My best friend used sound emitting repellents in the 200 year old farmhouse she rented and she loved them! She also used electric ones outdoors as well she had skunks, ground squirrels, rats, mice, and who knows what?? It worked well enough for her to have a huge garden and most of her garden thrived!
I watched your video thinking I don’t have much use for these bc I don’t have rodent problems. Did some chores inside then went to the garden outside picking weeds. I have raised beds so not much. As I was pulling weeds a dead gum mouse jumped out of the dirt straight at me. It was the scariest thing ever. Ugh. Ordering these ASAP. Thanks for sharing! 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Don't forget, your washed eggshells crushed, are perfect to place around the bases of your tomato plants to protect them ... added calcium as well. Cheers! Awesome Gardening!
Good luck and so happy it worked for you. We had massive gopher issues in our garden in Southern CA, the vibration sticks didn't help much. I lined some beds with metal cloth, which was great, but not workable everywhere, and we trapped them. I also recruited teen boys from church to drop any snakes (not rattlesnakes, haha) down the holes. That worked the best.
I just staked up my tomatoes today. My husband yells, "Hey, come look at this!" One of the stakes was violently rocking back and forth and eventually almost fell over! I went over there to see, and perhaps my footsteps made it go still. If I could have figured where the little sucker was, I would have stabbed it with the stake. These things seem to be the size of guinea pigs for as much dirt they have heaved up in my yard! We have armadillos too here in West Central Missouri. They can tear up a yard too!
I have these around our main area. We are building on and regenerating a 20 acre block that is 100% thick bush in Qld Australia, where there are dangerous snakes. I've been here over a year with these in the ground and haven't seen one snake on my property. But I have seen a red belly black snake on the road near our property. Thanks for sharing this I was wondering if others had the same results because there was a lot of negative reviews on this product. I'm absolutely convinced now.
Just ordered two packs ! Thank you for the trial, I have a huge mole issue in my yard. This spring I put in a cottage garden and new zinnia beds and of course I see the mole runs 🙁. So excited to get these in and send them on their way.
Not that I speaking from experience or anything 🤣🤣 but take a picture of where you put these things. I may or may not be able to find the ones I put in my landscape 🤣🤣🤣
My cat sits over the tunnel and digs down then follows the mole as it moves. So funny to watch his patience as he waits. I see the wee ones are in the pool.. man I'd be in there joining them for the fun😀
Here in the central valley, CA we have gophers, rabbits, and squirrels. I've tried simular repellers,, gopher hawks and they did not work. Glad it worked for you.
I put castor bean plants in the corners of my yard. That cleared my issue with our voles, moles, and gophers. Castro bean plants are beautiful but careful with them because they are poisonous.🇺🇸
Zach, I'm recommending you get a gardening auger to dig down in the ground! I can't tell you how happy that THOSE solar in-ground pest deterants are doing their job for you guys 🎉🎉👍 Now about the gardening auger I was talking about, there's another UA-cam presenter called Garden Answer. They live here in Oregon, where I'm at, but I'm on the west side of the state and they are within 5 minutes of being in Idaho. Anyway they do a lot of planting and they have different size augers that they attach to a cordless drill and absolutely go to town with drilling the holes they need to plant their things and so I am recommending you watch Garden answer and hopefully you can get something to help you dig as many holes as you could possibly need!
Great information! I have a terrible problem with moles, voles, mice, chipmunks, etc. Well, something is digging holes all over my gardens and yard. I am going to give these a try. Thanks, Zach!
In our area (7a) we have cut worms in the ground that will cut a young tomato plant off at the ground. To prevent this I place a small stick beside the plant. Some people wrap foil around the base of the plant. Just something so the cut worm can’t encircled the plant at the top of the soil.
Zach don’t let your guard down. I used those years ago and after awhile I think they developed a tolerance to it because the mole tunnels were popping up out of the ground next to the sonic spike. I have mole issues though so not sure how much difference there is in response to the stake.
You're right. They not only grow tolerant of it, but they move around from one crop to the next. You end up spending a fortune trying to outwit them. From one night to the next morning, you're in tears again.
@StiversHomestead Good to hear that these worked. I have had a vole explosion in my garden raised beds. The castor oil granules have helped, but I think they are breeding and the numbers have quadrupled. They don't really come out of the ground. Two years later, are you still happy with these ultrasonic sticks?
I love the fact that y’all vlog and live in Kentucky! As a fellow Kentuckian I love supporting local channels! Feels like I’m talking to famous folks!! Sounds like above ground gardening boxes may be needed?
Awesome! One year I had planted a swath of about 200 tulips. Next spring they would be up, ready to bloom, and then just fall over. A vole had come through & eaten all the bulbs one by one. I was devastated and angry.
About 10 years ago, we put in our first garden here in Middle TN on the Cumberland Plateau. Place had been one big pasture before that. Moles and voles everywhere. Tried those electronic things; they thumbed their noses at us. Tried garlic; they ate them and loved them. Old timer here said Juicy Fruit Gum; 1/3 stick per hole. Drop it in; use your foot to cover the hole. Took nearly the whole season, but we haven't seen a mole or vole hole anywhere since. (And a *whole* lot cheaper than the electronic things that need to be replaced because eventually the solar charger doesn't work very well.) You're welcome! Kir in TN
Ummm , I have the vibration things too. I had mine push it up 🤦🏼♀️ Also mine dig holes right under my garlic and pushed up and layers over 6 🤬 I pray they work for y’all. We’ve tried everything up to sitting and waiting with a gun and when we see the dirt moving, we shoot.
We had 2 of those gadgets. They worked ... but they didn't. The moles/voles/whatever stayed away but the gadgets only last about one season. Another issue was that, when our son was taking care of things, he couldn't figure out why he was hearing a strange sound in the garden.
😀 Bravo! The garden rows are simply stunning! Amazing work, y'all! SO proud of you guys! We thought of those sonic things and hoped you might try them. Now we know they work! Thanks! 🎉🏆💗
We have been fighting moles digging under all my flower beds. They almost killed 2 of my huge blueberry bushes by tunneling under and exposing the roots to air underground which will kill any plant. And if that's not bad enough. Then the voles will go and use the moles tunnels and eat the roots of all your plants and bulbs. Its like an underground buffet. Then add to that the chipmunk/ground squirrels that look like chipmunks. And they make tunnels and dens underground. Then come up and eat your berries. GRRRRR I hate all of them. Almost 2 years ago we adopted 3 older cats from the shelter and that has cleared out all the chipmunk type critters. And they have caught a couple of moles and a bunch of voles. Yeah! You go kitties! Those underground pest critters can obliterate your whole garden. I have lived here on our homestead for 28 years now. When we had outside cats we didn't have those pest problems including mice and rats. But as our old outside cats died off from old age. We didn't have any for a couple years and we were overrun. Got the new cats. Now not so much. Kitties = no pests. All natural pest control.
Old Alabama Gardener told me to put mint toothpaste into a cotton ball and shove it down the hole. He said you can't kill them or trap them, but you can run them out. It took me three days of shoving toothpaste cotton ball down 6 holes. They are gone for now, but I've got a big supply of toothpaste and cotton balls! I couldn't believe it actually worked! Old folks know things!
Myomorpha hell! Side note for anyone unable to purchase the solar suggestions, you can plant Jicama and Horseradish in and around your gardens, and eliminate the problem. Perfect pest control... Of all kinds.
Ariel from ‘Fy Nith’ puts a strong mesh material under about 8” of top soil and lines the beds with cinder blocks. Keeps gophers and those digging underground critters away. She has recently moved her garden to a new site and she transferred everything. You cd maybe give her a viewing? You cd consider that for next year .
I'm glad it work for y'all my son build a greenhouse I helped a little bit I'm disabled and I done something new I made wicking buckets and planning my tomatoes and three squash and peppers plants and they are doing perfect everything's doing good out of those wicking buckets and I planted my cucumbers and Rich dirt on top of the ground the working out real good thank goodness I got a good son to help me out on most of it but guess what I on the 19th of May 2021 I broke my left leg in two places now I can't get out there attend to to them like I need to
Awesome to know those work. I've seen a few mole/vole holes this year in my yard. I may have to try that. They weren't a problem before because I could let my cats out. However, some not so respectful/nice people moved in next door and they're not nice to cats. So now my poor babies are housebound all year and the little garden nuisances have free roam.
@@dorothyculbertson5640 Great idea! Never thought of that. There are strays that wonder through from time to time. They're just not around here consistent enough and many have come up missing that last couple/few months.
I had that vole problem...very discouraging when yu go out and everything is chewed down to the root ...I seen those solar things ...I will try them out .Thanks ☺
Good thing you shared... I’m buying some for the same reasons... I have some low bed that got hit hard last year with the watermelon bed and didn’t plant none this year... only growing Kajari melons this year in height bed with trellis 💚🌱💚
I ordered these solar repellents and just got them in the ground literally a few minutes ago. I'm praying they work because these little vermin are driving me mad.
I believe sharing is caring. I shared the yellow solo cup with vaseline for aphids, it works. Living in Florida we have many pest. My brother is having mole issues. So I'll share this video with him. Appreciate y'all sharing with us. God Bless y'all ✌💚😁

I would have never thought to do that. Thank you
I just saw a tip saying plant pinwheels in your yard
i've never heard that one. Gonna have to give it a try. First I need to drink some wine. Hope it work cause I've got lots of voles and need an excuse to drink more wine.
I’ve only been subbed since the butthead tried to steal the animals... but even I know you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull on Superman’s cape and you don’t mess with Zach’s Xenia!

keep us up to date
old time pin wheels ,that the kids use to play with. Stick the long handle in the ground and when the wind blows it around it viberates.
Oh no guys I had that issue too. They get use to it and it's just like music to their ears after a few weeks. You need to get sticky traps and bait them with juicy gum and basil leaves. I know it sounds weird but it works. Az was full of rodents this last year it was horrible. I replaced my entire garden twice buying started before I went to some older farmers for help.
I have to agree, they become ineffectual after a while.
Gardens are looking awesome 🤷♀️👍🤗💯
Good morning Shivers, have a blessed Saturday ❤
Need to contact the company so you can bring them business!
Glad that worked. I don't like buying stuff not knowing if it will work or not. Always good when it does work.
A windmill from Lehman's did the trick for me with underground pests. Glad the sonic things is working for you. Losing plants is hard.
My best friend used sound emitting repellents in the 200 year old farmhouse she rented and she loved them! She also used electric ones outdoors as well she had skunks, ground squirrels, rats, mice, and who knows what?? It worked well enough for her to have a huge garden and most of her garden thrived!
I use the vibration things and they have worked for me.
So happy those solar things worked and no chemicals were needed.
No more Friday nights? Glad this worked for you!
I watched your video thinking I don’t have much use for these bc I don’t have rodent problems. Did some chores inside then went to the garden outside picking weeds. I have raised beds so not much. As I was pulling weeds a dead gum mouse jumped out of the dirt straight at me. It was the scariest thing ever. Ugh. Ordering these ASAP. Thanks for sharing! 🤣🤦🏻♀️
I just learned something new! I had never heard of a "vole" before. Thank you for sharing!
I’ve heard of it. I’ve never seen one in person
Don't forget, your washed eggshells crushed, are perfect to place around the bases of your tomato plants to protect them ... added calcium as well. Cheers! Awesome Gardening!

I also recruited teen boys from church to drop any snakes (not rattlesnakes, haha) down the holes. That worked the best.
Around here it would be cutworms doing that kind of damage! My problem is bindweed!
Your new property is really looking nice I can’t wait to see your beautiful garden
That’s Awesome Zack!!😊
How frustrating! Glad those sonic stakes are working for you.
I just staked up my tomatoes today. My husband yells, "Hey, come look at this!" One of the stakes was violently rocking back and forth and eventually almost fell over! I went over there to see, and perhaps my footsteps made it go still. If I could have figured where the little sucker was, I would have stabbed it with the stake. These things seem to be the size of guinea pigs for as much dirt they have heaved up in my yard! We have armadillos too here in West Central Missouri. They can tear up a yard too!
Next time take a water hose and flood them out. Have killed a many that way. 🍀
Sounds like a mole. Voles don't shove much dirt out of holes.
Well done , my friend!
Zach thanks for the review on solar repellent 👍
I have these around our main area. We are building on and regenerating a 20 acre block that is 100% thick bush in Qld Australia, where there are dangerous snakes.

I used these in my garden too. They worked great.
Good video. Thx
I thank God for people like you. Thanks for sharing your life. I have to subscribe so I don't miss anything. Blessings to you and your family
BTW, How are you watering all them plants???
Was a dinner bell for the molds here in Arizona.they are an ever ending oest
Squirrels damage all of my veggies and flowers, it is an all day watch...they even cut net covering
I have that problem with bulbs they digvthem up or eat half a bulb. I had problems with chipmunks eating the top off my flowers.
So proud that worked!! From Montgomery al
Oh my gosh it was a great video with lots of great content thank you so much for sharing so many great things
I had to use some Solar powered vibration in my old garden because of voles/moles... It worked when I turned them on 🤣
Thanks for sharing! Important to think about. I always lose my sunflowers.
Our moles have a highway directly under our fence line. Drives me crazy.
Just ordered two packs ! Thank you for the trial, I have a huge mole issue in my yard. This spring I put in a cottage garden and new zinnia beds and of course I see the mole runs 🙁. So excited to get these in and send them on their way.
So glad it's working for you
Thank you!!! We need to get these.
Not that I speaking from experience or anything 🤣🤣 but take a picture of where you put these things. I may or may not be able to find the ones I put in my landscape 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! Thank you for the info and all the tips.
My cat sits over the tunnel and digs down then follows the mole as it moves. So funny to watch his patience as he waits.
I see the wee ones are in the pool.. man I'd be in there joining them for the fun😀
My dog would do the same thing... she could track voles in their tunnels .... unfortunately, my yard looked like a trencher machine went crazy!!
I bought two cats for this exact reason. so far I don't think they know we have moles!!! argh
Here in the central valley, CA we have gophers, rabbits, and squirrels. I've tried simular repellers,, gopher hawks and they did not work. Glad it worked for you.
I'll have to give them a try
Use auger attachment for hand drill to put in ground.
I put castor bean plants in the corners of my yard. That cleared my issue with our voles, moles, and gophers. Castro bean plants are beautiful but careful with them because they are poisonous.🇺🇸
what about castor oil instead of the plants?
Congratulations!

They only worked temporarily for me too with both moles and voles.
Install a Barn Owl nest box.
I haven't been here in awhile....great info....I think I have this issue too..... thanks for the heads up 👍👍 Love ur new in ground garden!!
We live atop a mountain in the middle of nowhere with tons of clay and rock. Moles are not an issue here. LOL Glad they worked!
@StiversHomestead
Good to hear that these worked. I have had a vole explosion in my garden raised beds. The castor oil granules have helped, but I think they are breeding and the numbers have quadrupled. They don't really come out of the ground. Two years later, are you still happy with these ultrasonic sticks?
I'm thinking those T-post's could price to be an asset in this case. They may amplify the sound.
I love the fact that y’all vlog and live in Kentucky! As a fellow Kentuckian I love supporting local channels! Feels like I’m talking to famous folks!!
Sounds like above ground gardening boxes may be needed?
Gotta try those for the voles in my yard!
Thanks for sharing. We have lots of moles. We are going to buy some of those things.
That's Amazing!!!👍
Awesome! One year I had planted a swath of about 200 tulips. Next spring they would be up, ready to bloom, and then just fall over. A vole had come through & eaten all the bulbs one by one. I was devastated and angry.
I planted 100 and 3 came up...finally this year I figured it was voles,too later for my
Roses and lilies clematis etc
Tyat is NOT vole damage!!!!! Voles eat the plants from underneath the soil. It could be a squirrel , rabbitt, deer or groundhogs.
Hope the garden continues to grow.

I'd buy those garden guards ... they also work around the foundation of your home ....... really!!!
So glad that worked for y'all 😊
I had two voles moved in my yard and boy they destroy some grass in a day!!
We have had the same thing going on. We will be trying this out for sure. Thank you

Side note for anyone unable to purchase the solar suggestions, you can plant Jicama and Horseradish in and around your gardens, and eliminate the problem.
Perfect pest control...
Of all kinds.
Ariel from ‘Fy Nith’ puts a strong mesh material under about 8” of top soil and lines the beds with cinder blocks. Keeps gophers and those digging underground critters away. She has recently moved her garden to a new site and she transferred everything. You cd maybe give her a viewing? You cd consider that for next year .
Last night, I had three healthy Yukon Gold plants just topple over! I'm guessing I have a vole problem that's getting out of control.
Just an easy way to remember, Voles are vegetarians and Moles are meat eaters (grubs, bugs)....
Lol muskrat's from the Creek can also devastate a garden.
Arm's family Homestead used juicy fruit gum. It really seemed to work.
Blessings
I'm glad it work for y'all my son build a greenhouse I helped a little bit I'm disabled and I done something new I made wicking buckets and planning my tomatoes and three squash and peppers plants and they are doing perfect everything's doing good out of those wicking buckets and I planted my cucumbers and Rich dirt on top of the ground the working out real good thank goodness I got a good son to help me out on most of it but guess what I on the 19th of May 2021 I broke my left leg in two places now I can't get out there attend to to them like I need to

However, some not so respectful/nice people moved in next door and they're not nice to cats. So now my poor babies are housebound all year and the little garden nuisances have free roam.

@@dorothyculbertson5640 Great idea! Never thought of that. There are strays that wonder through from time to time. They're just not around here consistent enough and many have come up missing that last couple/few months.
"Craw-daddys" is what we call them here in So IL! 🙂 Also, I've been spreading milky spore....no grubs = no moles! ✌
I had no idea Crawdads eat the garden
So glad the solar stakes worked for you. It did not work for us with gophers in our lawn. Darn California gophers!
Lehman's has a metal Windmill thing that works great. Glad those worked. I've heard Radio Playing on ground works also. Peace from WV
Fantastic!
I had that vole problem...very discouraging when yu go out and everything is chewed down to the root ...I seen those solar things ...I will try them out .Thanks ☺
We are in PA and all my gardens are raised beds, we have moles galore and even with the beds they get in there, very big pests.
put hardware cloth under the raised beds before filling with soil.
Good thing you shared... I’m buying some for the same reasons... I have some low bed that got hit hard last year with the watermelon bed and didn’t plant none this year... only growing Kajari melons this year in height bed with trellis 💚🌱💚

Oh it was 45 for the same brand 4 pack when I ordered on amazon. I really hope they work!
I have dealt with so many pests since moving deeper into the country... It has been insane! Crawdads have been the worst for me!
Crawdads? Crayfish? what do they do?
@@ljcl1859 yes, they dig large holes in your garden & if they do it close to small seedlings, it will uproot them & kill them.

I use a similar one in my yard. No voles.
I'm in Williston fl 9a and that's what I use and they work for me.
