Here's what the most current wildlife research tells us about moles that most homeowners never get to hear.
Moles navigate, hunt, and communicate almost entirely through vibration. Their eyesight is essentially nonexistent. Their sense of smell is limited. But their ability to detect movement and vibration through soil is so extraordinarily sensitive that researchers describe it as their primary sense.
It is also when targeted correctly their most devastating vulnerability.
Dr. Melissa Grant, a subterranean mammal specialist at Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, has studied mole behavior for over fifteen years. Her conclusion is unambiguous:
"Sustained, low-frequency vibration transmitted continuously through the soil is the single most effective non-lethal mole deterrent we've identified. It disrupts their ability to navigate, locate food, and feel safe. Their biological response is to relocate quickly and completely."
That is the exact science behind the device that's producing results so consistent they've caught the attention of lawn care professionals, master gardeners, and wildlife researchers across the country.
