Interested in learning more about homemade mole repellers that can be effective, though not in the same way as electronic devices? The most commonly used material for making a mole repeller is a plastic bottle or tin can. But if you are a radio amateur, you can try using electrical parts.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 1
The electronic diagram below will help you. Various ready-made electronic devices are also used. As emitters, they usually use emitters of the EMX-309L1 type and the like. You can also use small-sized electromagnetic relays, speakers and small-sized electric motors from old tape recorders, players and telephones.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 2
The easiest and most unpretentious way to make a do-it-yourself mole repellent is to simply put a plastic bottle or tin can on a metal peg dug into the ground. If you yourself do not get tired of the constant knocking of cans, then the moles will undoubtedly leave the site soon.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 3
A more efficient model is a redesigned bottle that has special blades cut into the body so that it spins more in the wind, making more noise.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 4
The next most advanced and complex design, and to make it you will need several tools, such as a screwdriver and pliers. Notably, in addition to the buzz that the bottle produces when the wind blows on it, the propeller at the end of the bottle produces additional noise. So in advertising language, this is an improved version of the mole repeller with increased efficiency.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 5
With electronic filling - this is how you can call this device. It is based on a hollow metal pipe dug into the ground, into which a cheap electronic squeaker from a battery-powered Chinese alarm clock is lowered. From above, the pipe is covered with a rag so that the sound does not spread around the neighborhood, and from the rain they cover it with the same plastic bottle.
Do-it-yourself anticrot No. 6
And the last miracle of a do-it-yourself device made from moles is a giant propeller, the design of which, again, could not do without tin cans.
As you can see, at the heart of all the mole repellers that have been listed, the principle is to create as much noise as possible in the ground where the mole lives. And since moles do not like noise, they will leave your site.

Do-it-yourself plastic bottle spinner
We make a spinner from moles. For its manufacture, we will use the most affordable materials that everyone will surely find in the household.
The first step is to prepare the axis of rotation. In my case, I used an old welding electrode. It is not suitable for welding work, but it is very convenient to use it for our purposes.
Step one. We remove the coating
To remove the coating from the electrode, it is enough to apply a few light blows to it with a hammer. The coating will crack and chip off. You can remove the cracked coating with your hands or pliers.
Step two. Hole in the lid.
To make a hole in the lid, I used a cordless drill. But it is not difficult to perform it with the help of an ordinary knife with a sharp end. The diameter of the hole should be such that our previously prepared axle easily passes through it, but does not dangle.
Step three hole in the bottom.
In the same way, using a drill or a knife, we make a hole in the bottom of the bottle. The hole diameter is the same.
Step four. We focus
The remaining coating of the electrode does not interfere with us. But during the rotation of the bottle, if the cap rubs against the remaining layer, its rotation will slow down greatly. Therefore, we will make a ring of copper wire around our axis. It will prevent the bottle from sinking lower and facilitate its rotation.
Step five. Bottle marking
We divide the surface of the bottle with a felt-tip pen or marker into an even number of sectors. For a turntable with three blades, divide into six sectors, if you want to make a turntable with four blades, then divide into eight sectors.
Step six. cut out the blades.
With a sharp knife or scissors, cut out the marked sectors according to the markup. As you can see from the photo, a clerical knife is well suited for this purpose.
Having made U-shaped cutouts, we begin to bend the blades. After we complete this step, our spinner will look like this.
Now it remains for us to assemble the turntable by threading the axis through the holes in the lid and bottom.
The finished turntable assembled and stuck into the ground looks like this.
And now a small breeze is enough for the bottle to start spinning. During rotation, the vibration from vibrations of the bottle is transmitted to the ground and the moles begin to feel not very comfortable. And as a result, they leave the area that has become uncomfortable for them.
This is how the master class on making a turntable-mole repeller turned out.
Very relevant for summer residents is the issue of fighting moles. These, at first glance, harmless creatures can cause great harm to the garden and the products that are grown on it. Therefore, many puzzle over how to solve this problem. Despite the mass of means and devices from moles in the city, there is one simple option that everyone can afford.
You do not need to be a skilled craftsman to create this tool, and the whole work will take about 20 minutes at most. Intrigued? Then let's find out how to make a mole repeller from a plastic bottle.
Looking for Solutions
There are a lot of requests on the Internet on the topic of rodent control, especially moles. Everyone wants to make sure that they no longer face this problem. However, not everyone knows how to act in such a case. Killing animals is not entirely humane, so poisons and other killing devices will not work. Often, gardeners run to the store to ask for advice or buy an effective and at the same time inexpensive remedy. Others go the easier way, making a mole repeller with their own hands.
But how can a plastic bottle scare away moles? Everything is simple. You only need to upgrade it by building a kind of blades from a bottle that will make it spin. During rotation, the turntable will make noise. The design is pretty simple:
- Plastic bottle.
- Stick.
That's all you need. The container is mounted on a stick or rod, after which it will spin under the influence of the wind. Due to the fact that the rod is deepened into the ground, vibration and noise scare away moles. For the garden, you can make a lot of such products, the cost of which is simply meager. And most importantly, you do not need to spend a lot of time. Let's look at the instructions on how to create this simple miracle of technology.
What is required for work
The advantage of a plastic bottle repeller is that you will need a minimal set of tools and materials. Everyone can work with them, and acquiring them is not a problem at all. You can see for yourself. Here is a list of everything you need:
- plastic bottle;
- steel bar or wooden stick;
- stationery knife or scissors;
- drill with a drill (in some cases it is not required).
That's the whole set. Are you surprised? Not worth it, because for all its simplicity, the mechanism works flawlessly. You just need to connect all this into one device.
Note! The device is automatic, but it works only from the wind. In calm calm weather, it will be simply useless.
Step-by-step instructions for creating a mole repeller
So, when you have everything you need, you can proceed. The bottle can be of any color, shape, displacement ... It's not so important. Provide yourself with a comfortable place to work. It is best to do everything at a table on a flat surface. Then no problems will arise. The instruction is as follows:
That's all, the device is ready. Now you just need to find the mole's tunnel in order to put the rod into it. Due to the vibration and sound transmitted from the bottle along the rod to the ground, the moles will not approach this place. They are afraid of such aggressive noises. If you have a large garden, then make several designs to eliminate the appearance of moles in another part of the garden.
Advice! Such a repeller will act not only on moles. Birds and other rodents are also very afraid of such noise. Therefore, you can not be afraid that our smaller brothers will devour your crop.
Making a mole repeller from plastic bottles with your own hands is quite simple, but the benefits of the product can hardly be overestimated. A large number of summer residents are struggling with these annoying pests, without knowing how to do it right.
How to make a mole repeller with your own hands? What materials may be required? What are the benefits of plastic bottles? The answers to these and more questions can be found below.
short information
As a rule, people want to get rid of problems with moles once and for all, but not everyone understands what exactly needs to be done. Some immediately go to the store in the hope of finding a unique and at the same time inexpensive remedy against these little pests, while others try to make a mole repeller with their own hands. Still others turn to the Internet for help in the hope of finding something new and not previously used.
Simple design
Before you start fighting moles, you need to determine the reason for the spread of these animals and determine the factors that prevent them from scaring away.
You need to start with the fact that all moles live in very large families. And if it turned out to destroy or scare away one animal, it’s too early to rejoice, because his whole family can come after him. Usually a mole family consists of several adults and growing individuals. In addition, different families in certain periods of the year can unite. At the same time, the area of their distribution increases accordingly.
Moles dig holes, the depth of which can sometimes exceed several meters. In addition, they have many outlets. That is why it is so difficult to determine the location of these animals. They can settle throughout the site and do not allow summer residents to live in peace.
These animals are quite strong and agile, they are almost impossible to catch. But even if you succeeded, be careful - moles bite painfully and do it often.
Many years of searching for an effective remedy that could help in the fight against these pests have borne fruit. And as a result, an ultrasonic repeller was designed.
Simple Remedy
For the manufacture of this tool does not need any complex materials. If you have plastic bottles, you can make several necessary products for the future. These things are extremely simple to set up and do not require any drawings. Many skilled summer residents have already adopted this and easily make practical mole repellers.
To make, you will need an empty plastic bottle and a stick / pipe. To begin with, several cuts are made on the bottle, which then need to be bent to make pockets-blades. Then a small hole is made in the bottom, after which the bottle is put on a metal tube or thick steel wire.
Pockets-blades are made so that at the slightest fluctuation of the wind the bottle starts to spin quickly and create noise that resonates well into the tube.
This resonating noise, passing through the tube, goes into the ground, straight into the tunnels dug by the mole. Therefore, it is advisable to stick such tubes into the ground in places close to wormholes.
Some craftsmen-summer residents do not stop there and try to improve this design. To implement the plan, a metal or water pipe with a small diameter may be required, which can range from 1/2 mm to 3/4 mm, there is not much difference in this case. The selected tube must be driven deep into the ground. At the same time, its lower end should be as close as possible to the underground passages of the animal. Then, a metal pin must be inserted into the upper part of the tube and fixed securely. So that it does not hang out, it is fixed with a special stopper.
A plastic bottle is put on the fixed pin, in the bottom of which a hole has already been made. It can be done with the help of a nail or a heated awl. The hole diameter must be larger than the pin diameter. Then you need to make pockets-blades, as described above, which will bend outward.
Conclusion on the topic
Such a device will help to effectively repel pests. In windy weather, the bottle will begin to rotate on the pin, creating a resonating noise. This unpleasant sound will frighten the mole.
