Gopher repellent

21 years ago

A few minutes ago, I walked by the TV and Paul James was discussing gophers. He had a broadcast spreader full of what looked like corn.

I sat down and watched and he said that 1 lb of the product would repel gophers from 1000 sf of lawn or garden. After application, he said to wait for rain or to water it in and it will drive the gophers away. Apparently, he uses it on his lawn and garden.

He went on to say that it contained Castor oil, some kind of corn product and something else that I cannot remember.

Did anyone here happen to watch his show today and catch the name of the product?

Thanks

Thanks for the link. It's the one he did on todays show. Sounds like Lowes might even sell it so will try tomorrow.

Thanks again. Really appreciate it and so will my neighbors.

Does anyone know the name of the product? I caught part of the show too, and didn't hear it mentioned. I think he said that the active ingredient is Castor plant seeds (or castor oil - not sure what he said).

Another question, does it have a deterrent effect on groundhogs (woodchucks, - - - maybe even deer?). Moles aren't really a problem for me, gophers aren't a problem in NY's Hudson Valley, but deer and g'hogs are! I've tried spraying, but they think it's salad dressing. Fencing helps, but can't be done across the street side of the property.

Mole Out is the name of the product. Lowes has it in my area and I bought the last container of the granules that they had in stock on Monday. Cost was almost $10 for a 5 lb container. It is also available in liquid form. Did not notice that until last night and may try it if the granules work.
