From the Manufacturer: Protection You Can Count On Protect your lawn from moles, gophers, voles, armadillos and other burrowing animals with Sweeney’s all-natural, poison free repellent. Made with castor oil and other natural ingredients, the repellent is safe to use on lawns and gardens as well as around children and pets. A convenient, easy-to-use Shaker Bag allows you to treat your lawn without handling the product. After applying, water the product into the ground to activate the granules. This makes the ground smell and taste unpleasant, sending the unwanted pests scurrying to find a more welcoming place to live. Steer Moles from Yard in Stages Sweeney’s Mole & Gopher Repellent works by slowly driving moles out of yards and gardens in stages. Avoid treating the entire lawn in one application – this may cause moles to tunnel wildly in any direction to escape the repellent. Applying the granules over the lawn in stages will steadily herd moles away from the treated lawn area. Progressively Propel Unwanted Rodents Before applying the repellent, locate the active mole areas to determine which way to move the moles out of your yard. Day 1 Spread the granules over the first area and water-in with a sprinkler for approximately 20 minutes. Watering allows the concentrated granules to penetrate deeply into the lawn. Day 2 Spread the granules over the second area; water-in the same area as day 1, plus the second area to get the mole moving. Each day’s watering allows granules to penetrate more deeply. Day 3 Spread granules over the third area. Water-in the same area as days 1 and 2, plus the third area to keep the mole moving. Day 4 Spread the granules over the fourth area. Water-in the same area as days 1, 2 and 3, plus the fourth area to move the mole out of your yard!
