this is the case, switch off the device for 1 – 2 days and then
turn it on again.
The differing lengths of time taken to repel an animal can
have diverse reasons: e.g. the mole is more resistant or the
soil contains more sand, turf or clay. The Gardigo mole repel-
lent system has an integrated on/off switch – this is impor-
tant to note when purchasing a solar operated mole repellent
system. The device should be switched off at regular inter-
vals in order to prevent habituation.
Shortly after setting up the device you might find more mole-
hills than before in the garden, this should not discourage
you, it is quite normal. The mole and its friends from the
neighbouring gardens notice a change in their environment
and want to find out where the change is coming from. In the
long run, the sound will be too annoying and they will search
for a quieter place.
To successfully use the device:
• Never insert into the molehill.
• When using several devices, never place at all corners of
the plot of land or you will trap the animal in the centre.
• Act tactically: begin at the house and work your way to-
wards the boundary of the plot.
• Dig a hole for the device in advance and pack the earth
tightly around the pole.
• Take into account underground 'barriers' such as pipes,
foundations, flowerbed borders, and concrete slabs: these
slow down the sound waves.
