Treating Large Areas:
While this product may be applied to your entire yard in one treatment, another strategy that has proved to be effective is to "move" the moles in the direction you’d like them to exit your property. To accomplish this, make applications to one-third of the area to be treated, beginning with the one furthest from the direction you want them to leave. If you want pests to move from your flower garden toward a fence, begin at the garden. Then (at one or two day intervals), apply the product to the other areas closer to the fence, ending with the one nearest to it. This approach is particularly effective when treating larger areas (greater than 100’ x 100’).
Watering After Application:
You can water CHASE in to speed its penetration into the soil, or you can let Mother Nature do it with the next rain. Over time the granule will decompose and release the repellent into the soil for a "time released" treatment. In addition, the carrier used in the product is an all-natural and fully biodegradable.
***Just a couple of most often asked Questions***
Q: Just how does CHASE Mole and Gopher Repellent work?
When ingested (with the insects in your lawn) it irritates the mole’s alimentary canal (digestive system). This "distress" drives the mole out of the treated area. The product does not harm either the mole (or gopher) or for that matter, the grubs and worms the moles eat. Some theorize that the mole’s skin is irritated by the active ingredient and that the smell of the treated soil is also repugnant to the mole. Either way, it works. CHASE is organic, completely safe on lawns, shrubs and flowers and is fully biodegradable.
Q: How do I use CHASE Mole and Gopher Repellent for "cone mounds?"
Attacking cone shaped Gopher dirt mounds (or ones made by deep burrowing moles in hot months) has to be handled differently than when dealing with a mole tunnel system in a lawn. With mounds, you’ll need to remove the loose soil and then dig a small hole in what was the center of the mound. After that’s done, mix two ounces of liquid CHASE Mole and Gopher Repellant in a gallon of water and slowly pour the solution into the depression.
Q: Do I need to water the lawn when I apply CHASE liquid?
In most cases, yes. It is recommended that after application, you water the lawn with a sprinkler. If the soil is reasonably moist, a ten minute watering will suffice. If it is very dry, an application of one inch of water is recommended. One great benefit of CHASE liquid Mole and Gopher Repellent TM is that it contains a special ingredient that makes water "wetter," so that the active ingredient can penetrate the soil more easily.
Q: Can I use liquid CHASE Mole and Gopher Repellent after a heavy rain?
Yes with caution... If you have had a very heavy rain and the ground is saturated with moisture, and there is standing water, the treatment may not penetrate the soil sufficiently to reach the level where the moles are operating.
Q: Should I treat the whole yard at once?
Yes you can. This approach works well most of the time. Another strategy that has proved to be effective is to "move" the moles in the direction you’d like them to exit your property. To do that, apply CHASE to one-third of the area to be treated, beginning with the one furthest from the direction you want them to leave. If you want to move them from your flower garden toward a fence, begin at the garden. Then (at one or two day intervals), apply the product to the other areas closer to the fence, ending with the one nearest to it. This approach is particularly effective when the area to be treated is large.
