Can we leave these in place in Kentucky? The critters seem to be active year-round even though it gets cold. Ours work well in our clay soil.

I live in Texas and we don't get really cold winters. I don't notice so much activity in the winter. Spraying with castor oil mixed with water helps also. I leave mine in the yard year round.

Yes, I live in Michigan & had left them in the ground all winter and they worked the next Spring. They will be fine.

I haven't had them over the winter yet. I live in Nebraska and the mole activity is non existant in the winter here, so will probably remove mine in early November. They are working real well for us. Thanks

I would advise you to keep in pots and bring them in in the winter.cactus don't like wet feet either. They need be on the dry side.

Think potatoes/onions. These are tubers and are designed to stay viable and dormant until spring. I'd order them two weeks before last frost and stick them in the ground when you have a chance.

I have two of these bat houses down here in Texas. Each have approximately 200 to 300 bats. It will take a couple of years before you begin to see bats inhabiting the houses, but when they do, it is a real enjoyment watching them leave at dusk each night and arrive each morning. The weather is probably a little milder here than in NJ, but the warm weather should bring bats around. The bats will hibernate during the winter and leave, only to return when the weather warms up. There is no need to paint the house as they are made with cedar. To attract the bats you can use some attractant that Amazon sells online. However I used bat manure I got from the man across the way and made a compound using water to spread on the lip of the opening. It seemed to work better. It may be hard to find where you live unless you know someone who would have a bat house, too. Like I said it is very fulfilling when you finally get some bats to watch each evening. It's amazing that 500 hundred bats could fit into a small place like that. Hope you're as fortunate as we were to get bats to come. Enjoy.

I grew them at early spring, they started to bear since May, and it is still bearing now at September, I live in New Jersey so I don't think it would still bear at winter but perhaps in warmer area they will that I hope someone live in warmer place could further confirm that.

No, these worms will not survive winters where temps fall below 40F and they won't survive temps above 85F for extended periods of time. These are special composting worms so please do not consider buying these for garden soil either. These are are not burrowing, soil eating worms, these worms live only in the top 8-10 inches of the soil and their diet consists of leaf litter, mulch and manure so unless you have a lot of this for them to eat they will starve to death.

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.

If the ground is frozen you'll have a problem. I've noticed with moles, that they are not active in the winter. The mole chasers I have have chased the moles away, but sometimes come bach at another location. I just move the chaser to that location.

animals, unlike humans, do not need winter clothes; in nature I suspect they just burrow a little hole to live in so just let em outside just a lot further from your house, they'll find a new home before they freeze. If you do get snow, I'd look for a field with a lot of bushes, low trees that would block some snow and leave some open ground. I feel that we get so caught up with the humane thing that we forget mice (and other animals) have fur and are much better adapted to "living in the woods" than most humans; however if you still feel iffy about their winter survival let them be in your home for the winter. IDEA: if you don't like a neighbor, maybe release near his/her house. You got to figure if you just let the mice out in the back yard, they're coming back in because it's easy shelter

I release them outside, as far from the house as I can get. I try to find a spot where they can burrow under the dead leaves (which I do not rake, nature never rakes, so I don't think we need to, and why burn good mulch anyway?)

No. They will last 3 seasons in the northeast weather conditions. They do have a tendency to heave each winter.

we soak our garden soil the day before we put these in. we usually get 2 to 3 growing seasons out of them & then re-order. we use them to keep our 3 good sized pups "honest" & out of the garden areas. being in central Indiana we pull them before it snows. since they are a wire fence, they will bend....but we don't force them into the ground.... thanks for the question & good luck....

They should.They are native to snow country, may need supplemental water where you live.

That should be fine. I grew them in St Louis last year. They are a bit stringy and sensitive to moving them around.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.

I wouldn't think so since the moles will be very deep in the ground trying to stay warm. At 10 degrees the ground will be frozen and the repellent wouldn't get down to where the worms are either in my opinion. The intent of this product is to make the earthworms taste bad so the moles leave for another location hunting something that taste good. You don't get much mole damage in the winter anyway so save your money and use it in the spring when the ground temperature get to about 65 degrees for several day.
