How much territory/range does one spike "cover"? I have approx/ 3/4 of an acre. Thanks.

One spike will cover up to 7,500 square feet. It will cover up to a 95 foot diameter in an unobstructed area.

I have two in my 1/2 acre back yard and they don't scare away the moles. New runs went right by the spikes after I put them in. They're useless.

95' radius. I have 1 acre and 4 take care of most of the yard. About 10' along one side aren't covered. I can see where the moles are, so I know the ones in the ground are working. I am going to put 2 more in

I would say not long enough to do acreage. I do the garage, house and sidewalks on an average single lot home and I am out juice.

depends on your neighbors. my gamo hornet shoots in my .15 acres all the time...but my neighbors dont care if i eliminate some turd-spewing starlings.

I think the key thing is to use it consistently, and in the proper pattern. and in accordance to your weather In my case, in the fall, I need to ensure the immediate 20' surrounding my house is covered at least every month, to keep them from tunneling under porch and hibernating there. (I have 2 acres of yard and am in Zone 7, so I have to sacrifice some parts during the year and winter months) In the spring (as soon as you see activity in the perimeter), start your dosing, if they have infiltrated close, drive them out by doing a 10-20' perimeter closest to your house/center of the lawn week 1, the next band (21-40') the next week, and then band 41-60' etc to your edge perimeter. If that works, then you can just treat that outer perimeter every month-6weeks for the rest of the year. This worked well for me this year. If you get a lot of rain, you may need to tighten your dosing windows, but 4-6 weeks the oil should last given ~1" of rain/watering a week.

My opinion, not enough herbicide to cover an acre! You can hand wand and control flow better than using nozzles in the back exclusively. You need gallons of spray material for an acre... my experience... Good luck..

I use about 1 jug per acre. Half as broad spray which uses more and half as spot treatment which is more efficient but involves more work. Hope this helps.

6 to 8 inches, depends on depth you insert spike in ground, also if you use mulch around the light

I wouldn't think you would spread it evenly over a yard, a line around house perimiter, or spot treat mounds, but if you chose too, I would guess a handful would be good for 10 x 10, I would guess 20 handfuls, 2000 sq ft

Jay, Did you not read my response? I explained how to treat the acre; here's a copy and paste of the text below: "...for broadcast spraying, it says 1/2 to 1 oz per 1000 sq/ft of turf. That adds up to 22-44 oz per acre." I tool this off the label. Now I know you've been saying one is supposed to use 3 oz to a gallon of water but I couldn't find that rate anywhere. But what I did find is either 1/2 oz up to 1 oz per 1,000 when broadcast spraying so at most, you'd need around 44 oz per acre.Jonathan

Don't know what a typical backyard is. I have acreage. Covers approx. 1/4 acre, if soaked well. Also, if it can be applied just before a rain, it helps it to permeate the ground.

It depends on the diameter (i.e., trunk width at 1 ft from grade) of the trees. If 1-2 inches, then plan on 2 spikes per tree. Above 2 inches, its basically 1 spike per inch diameter.

Have 4 Sweeney's scattered thru yard. Can't see any disturbance w/ our 2 small (21' & 6') dogs. But they don't spend more than 2 hours in backyard total throughout the day. And the Sweeneys are in plant beds not immediately adjacent to where the dogs hang out. Sorry I can't say how they'll be 100% w/ your dogs. We've been happy w/ the Sweeney Mole Sonic spikes performance!

it depends on how much you are spraying of dollarweed. we filled a 4 gallon sprayer and did an acre of grass with a lot of dollarweed. It worked and was more than enough for us. Love the product. worked real well

I'm able to cover at least 50 feet long by 20 feet wide and it can probably go further than that in both directions. I just don't have that big of a yard.

Hey Brandon- The range on these is awesome! I had a gated community that I had direct line of sight to the antennae that was mounted on a pole 10' high, and was well over 500'.Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.Thanks...Matty

All I can tell you is this... if you have a fairly clear space without alot of trees, you should reach about 50 miles. We HAD a good signal until the trees bloomed their leaves and now no signal as we live in a Sherwood Forest type area of GA. I reach Atlanta some 30 miles away when the leaves are off with no problem. DBi gain, etc I do not remember, sorry. Also, I have a booster on mine I bought seperately and it really helps with digital channels.

You get about 30-40 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. Rather than measure acreage think in terms of the time it takes to trim your property. You can have 10 acres of land but just 100 feet of trimming or you can have an 1/8 of an acre that is all trimming. If you can trim your property in 30 minutes then it could work for you.
