CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE
Easy-to-use, effective repellent safely gets rid of
ground moles
BIODEGRADABLE
NON-TOXIC
Everyone wants a beautiful lawn and garden but once
the common ground mole enters the picture, there are
instant problems. Fortunately, there's Scoot® Mole!
Scoot®
Mole repellent comes in an easy to apply container that
is ready to use. Simply attach to a garden hose end
and turn it on. Other benefits include consistency of
product to water ratio, safety of only USP grade castor
oil, and longevity (average treatment is 10 to 12 weeks).
Refills are available.
*It is a good idea when buying the product to round
up so you have more product that what is needed for
the first treatment. This will allow you to do "banding"
later (see below for details).
Tips
for use:
Longevity:
"BANDING" is the process of treating a small
strip (10-20 feet wide) around the perimeter of a mole-free
area.
Application
in cold weather: Set ready-to-use Scoot®
Mole product in a basin of hot water to thin the oil.
Amount
of water: Using water with application simulates
a rain-storm causing the mole's food to come to the
surface and coating food with oil. Recommended amount
of water depends on the thatch layer thickness in any
given area.
The
secret to properly applying Scoot Mole is time. It takes
from 25 to 35 minutes to properly apply Scoot® Mole.
That's because the applicator is designed to simulate
a rain storm. This ensures that the mole's food supply
is adequately saturated. Because worms breathe through
their skin, the heavy application of water forces them
to the surface for air. When they move up through the
soil they coat themselves with the castor oil.
Once
the application is complete, nature takes its course.
Moles have to eat their body weight every three days
or they will dehydrate and die. After a few unpleasant
meals, your unwanted guest will begin looking for a
fresh food supply. This can take anywhere from a few
days to two weeks. Follow-up applications--at roughly
four month intervals--will discourage moles from returning
to the area. |
