Several potential drawbacks September 30, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This product looked like a pretty good idea. However, there are several problems. First, the solar panel charges a battery that only lasts a year. My last mole chaser had traditional batteries that had to be replaced every six months. With the solar panel I'm not saving that many batteries and I'm sure these rechargeables will be harder to find and more expensive than those D cells I used before. Second, the head is large (much larger than the solar panel itself). When you combine this with the need to put it in direct sunlight you end up with a big plastic disk with a solar panel in the middle of your yard. It's impossible to hide and only slightly more attractive than a mole hill. Finally, mine didn't seem to be well made. The buzzer came detached from the inside of the spike with only the gentlest tug on the wires. It looks like a case where two drops of glue rather than one would haves prevented this.
I'll leave others to debate whether or not these kinds of devices work. I've had a different brand before and it drove my moles away. Your results may vary.
