## Description

Product Description Sweeney's Solar Mole and Gopher Repellant Spike helps keep your yard rodent free with the use of electronic pulses. This innovative product is solar powered for efficient energy use. The stake simply needs to be inserted into the ground and can then send out sonic pulses which will drive moles, gophers and other rodents away. The sonic pulses cover 7,500 sq. ft. to protect large yards. From the Manufacturer Drive Moles and Gophers away, no batteries required. New, Solar Powered Sonic Spikes offer a chemical and poison-free alternative for driving moles, gophers and other rodents out of your lawn. Sonic pulses penetrating through the soil every 30 seconds, sending burrowing rodents scurrying away. No batteries are required; one solar charge will last up to 5 days. Also waterproof, built with a mow-over design and will not harm pets. Covers 7,500 sq ft.

Review: A solution for some situations - I purchased the battery-operated version of Sweeney's Solar Spikes first, and it's worth the extra money for the solar version. I purchased three battery units a year ago, and they're all broken now. It's just too easy for water to enter, and once it does, it's all over. On the other hand, the solar one is doing fine, and I'm going to replace the dead units with solar ones. They all need to be in well-drained areas, though, so that's caveat #1. Also, I've discovered that the units work well if the moles have A WAY TO ESCAPE THE PULSE. I've bordered my yard with landscaping brick sunk into the ground a few inches. The only way I can describe it is that the moles became hysterical when I inserted the spikes. They immediately fled the part of the yard with the spikes and frantically tunneled around the edges, but they couldn't seem to get under or over the bordering bricks. Once I kill the ones in the yard, I don't get new ones, at least. In the front yard, which had only a mild mole infestation and an exit route, they left immediately and have not returned. Some of the negative reviewers noted increased mole activity after using the spikes. If the moles were numerous and "trapped" in the yard by brick, water, or concrete, could that be a reason in some cases? Just wondering. I have read that a single mole can dig 300 feet of tunnels in a day. If that's so, I may not have that many. Anyway, I'll be buying more solar spikes. My neighbor seems to be running a mole nursery with little effort at abatement, so I'll have to continue preventative efforts. Update: I'm buying more. The pulse on one of the three is still going strong, but confrontations with the lawn mower have finally killed the third. Water damage killed the other--my fault for placing it in a low-lying area. Nonetheless, these are excellent units giving years of service. I have had no new infestations despite continued mole activity all around me. I live in Virginia and left the units outside year-round with no problems. The other traps and poisons sit unused in my tool shed. I'm increasing the number of stars for this.
Review: 3 out of 3 failed for different reasons. I will not buy this any more. And do not buy this - I have two of these... but it is a mixed bag. I bought one two months ago and that seemed to drive things out. Not as much as they claim, but more like 30 ft. dia or ~700 sqft. So I had to get another one to cover my large lawn. Here is where things got messy. My first spike gives audible beeps every 7 sec. The new one beeps every 40 sec. So obviously they have a big QC issue. Secondly, the new one doesn't seem to be as effective as the first one. I saw a gopher 5 ft from the new spike. So, you may have to try your luck on this. I will not buy this again. I do know there is one thing that works - gopher bait blocks from Eaton. That is if you don't want to deal with traps. I eliminated one before as I stopped seeing big mounds. And probably the 2nd one will die in a day or two. For this to work, you have find a clear tunnel, shove it in (make sure that your human taste is not on the block) and close the hole tightly. Do not fill with mud and the block will disappear. I put a small slab of concrete to cover the hole, then a black trash bag and more bricks to hold the bag in place. That should ensure darkness to gopher to walk freely onto the bait. If I left the hole open, gopher bulldozes mud there and pushes out the block. Wait for 48 h. It takes a while for the bait to act. There is no gopher deterrent in the long run - just kill them. You will be happy! Update 07/01/15: I did hear back from Sweeneys. They are sending a replacement. If that thing also doesn't work, they will refund the money. I am upping the rating to 3*... They are trying. Update 7/17/15: The replacement unit was even more bizarre. It will charge only in full sunlight (not daylight). My solar landscape lights do better than this. Gopher activity is bad. I am getting a refund. No more spikes... Dropping to 2* Update 8/1/15: The refund arrived quickly, but the purchase date has to be within 30 days. So, it is kinda tricky. It takes at least a couple of weeks for the product to show its effectiveness (if it works), but you may be too late to claim refund if it doesn't work.Still 2*, just for their customer service Update 9/5/15: The only (partially) working spike has stopped working within 5 months of purchase. Don't have a receipt - don't think I can get it replaced. Dropping to 1*. This. is.worthless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These work great, until they don't
*by T***P on April 26, 2016*

I have used these sonic stakes for about five years. I have about three acres of lawn and gardens surrounded by forest in Virginia and our mole and vole problem was serious (thankfully, no gophers). Initially I purchased several stakes to address certain areas that were severe. They worked fine, but the problem just moved elsewhere. My method has evolved since then, and now they are placed around the entire perimeter of the yard. The stakes work well, until they don't. They are, after all, plastic and made to be affordable (they're already pretty expensive). They are susceptible to breakage of one sort or another, but with proper care, they last 2-4 years for me. One reviewer claims that the on/off switch is just for looks, but they don't know what they're talking about; its functional. I purchased a one-inch auger-type drill bit and make a pilot hole with my cordless drill. I don't place any where a lawn mower passes over them (they're all in flower bed edges). I remove them in autumn and place a one-inch dowel in the hole to preserve the hole location during winter. They are particularly vulnerable to water incursion, so don't expose them to harsh winter weather. I then deploy them in early spring to beat the mole infestation. By placing them around the perimeter early, they keep the pests from entering the yard at all. I'm up to 30 stakes and I have to purchase about six new ones each year. Summary: these stakes perform as described, but care must be taken to keep them functional. An initial investment must be made to purchase enough to surround your yard, but the positive results have made it worth it to me. I highly recommend these stakes to solve your mole problem.
