• One bag goes far: Treats up to 5,000 sq ft and shields your yard for a whole season.
• Simple and tidy: Hand-apply or spread, lightly water, and you’re finished. No mixing or mess.
• Pro-gardener approved: Reviews note it’s easy to use and often leads to fewer tunnels in just a couple weeks.

Product Description

MOLEMAX works quietly beneath the surface to disrupt a mole’s comfort zone. The castor oil seeps into their burrows, making your soil a no-go zone. It doesn’t trap, poison, or chase wildlife, rather it simply makes your lawn less inviting, allowing both you and the wildlife to coexist peacefully.

Just shake it in where you see molehill activity, give it a light watering, and walk away. Gardeners frequently report noticeable changes, such as less tunneling and a smoother lawn in just a week or two. For persistent activity, go ahead and reapply; the castor oil maintains its repellent edge throughout the season.

FAQs

Q: Is this safe around kids and pets?
Yes it is safe. Castor oil is non-toxic, and the granules pose no risk to kiddos, furry friends, or your beauty beds.

Q: How soon will I see results?
Results vary, but many gardeners notice a drop in tunnels within 7–14 days.

Q: What about heavy rain, should I reapply?
Just do a touch-up if a big storm washes it away, otherwise it holds fine through typical rain.

Q: Is it okay around veggie gardens?
Absolutely. Use around your garden perimeter; keep it out of direct plant beds, but it won’t hurt your edible crops.

Q: Can I use it year-round?
Sure can. One application protects your yard through spring and summer. Just back off on reapplying in winter dormancy.
