Bonide MoleMax Sonic Spike Repeller

Bonide MoleMax Solar Powered Sonic Spike Repeller, manufactured by Bonide, is an effective mole and gopher repellent stake that uses sound waves that mimic the warning sounds of these pests to repel other burrowing critters. 

The spikes will emit the natural distress call of moles and gophers every couple of seconds throughout the day and night to repel burrowing rodents. While it does not kill them, this does offer an eco-friendly form of control over moles, gophers, and rodents dwelling in the ground such as chipmunks and squirrels within an area of 7,500 sq. ft. 

Bonide MoleMax Solar Powered Sonic Spike Repeller is a low-maintenance burrowing pest control product that offers several days of continuous control. It will even continue to work when placed in areas with tall grass and inconsistent access to sunlight. 

Tools Needed

You will need a starter stake or other pole to create an insert hole to place this product into. 

How to Use For Solar Spike

• Step 1: Before installation, place the Bonide MoleMax Solar Powered Sonic Spike Repeller in direct sunlight for two days to fully charge batteries - in the “o’ position. After two days, press the On/Off button to turn the unit on. You should now hear a buzz every 28 seconds.
• Step 2: Use a starter stake to make a pilot hole before inserting the product into the ground. Do not use a hammer or push excessively or you may damage the unit. Do not place the unit in tunnel or hole - place the unit at the site with the worst damage.
• Step 3: Insert the sonic spike into the ground, until flush with the ground, ensuring you can still see the Solar Panel. Make sure it is tight in the ground. Sound and vibration travel best in hard, compact soil. One unit every 49 feet of unobstructed space will need to be used. For best results, overlapping two units is recommended.

How to Use For Battery Spike
