5. Operation
1. Turn the green cap counter clockwise until it can
be removed.
2. Pull the battery cylinder out of the housing
and insert 2 x Mignon (AA) batteries with the
positive pole pointing upwards as shown on
the housing.
3. After inserting the batteries, insert the battery
compartment and tighten the cap to make
sure, that it is 100 % water tight.
4. Insert the Mini Mole Repellent into the ground
until the lid. Firmly press the earth around the
rod. The firmer and denser the earth around
the rod, the better the sound waves are con-
ducted.
5. To change batteries, repeat steps 1 – 3.
Please note that the cap must be screwed on tightly until
the device turns on.
6. Application
To successfully and permanently get rid of all moles from
your property, there are a few points that must be followed
closely: the mole should not be „encircled" by the Mole Re-
pellent. It should be driven from the house towards the bor-
ders of the garden. To do this, start by placing one or several
devices between the wall of the house and the nearest mole-
hill. Never put a device directly into a hill! Gradually move the
mole Repellent in 1 to 2 week intervals towards the edge of
the garden and away from the house. This time span is need-
ed, as you will notice the molehills „migrating". If the hills are
still in the same place after four weeks, please check if the
device is really working (the sound is audible).
The batteries might be depleted. If this is the case please use a
new set of batteries. The span of time needed to move an ani-
mal may vary for a number of reasons. The mole might be more
resistant, or the surrounding soil is mainly sandy or contains a
lot of peat or clay. This has an effect on the range and efficien-
cy of the sound. The Gardigo Mole Repellent has an integrated
cylinder which allows you to quickly change batteries, without
having to retrieve the device. It is also recommended to switch
the device off at intervals, as the mole will gradually become
accustomed to the noise. The fact that there might be more
6
molehills than before after a short time of using the device, is
quite normal and should not be the cause for worry. The mole
notices a change of his environment and wants to find out
where it comes from. However in the long run, the sound be-
comes too annoying and it will move away. The different time
periods for the reaction of the animals may have different rea-
sons, e.g. the soil is sandy or peat or clay soil. Please note that
underground "barriers" such as pipes, foundations, flowerbed
surrounds, concrete slabs can block the sound waves.
Please do not put the repeller directly into the molehill.
Pause operation or pull it out periodically to avoid a ha-
bituation effect.
