I'm hoping to use them to kill whatever our yard's mole population likes to eat. Has anyone had experience using the Nematodes as a mole deterrent?

I have had excellent luck ridding my yard of grubs and ants but unfortunately moles also like to eat earthworms , so this is part of the solution but hunting moles is more of a solution.

I used them this year. Not sure if I waited too late in summer or if I applied wrong, but I still had grubs!

It does work to kill the grubs the moles seek. It's not an over night solution but will work. Add some milky spores to the mix and your problem will be solved.

We tried this indoors (for gnats in potted plants) and out (for grubs because of moles) to no avail. The brand that DID work for us was the Scanmask brand. It's not a spray - it's in a type of 'mulch' that you spread around - but it worked. However, we only used it indoors on the gnats. If you plan to try it - I would recommend that one instead: http://www.amazon.com/Pyes-Scanmask-Live-Beneficial-Nematodes/dp/B000MRD5JO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413597367&sr=8-1&keywords=live+beneficial+nematodes

I have never thought to try it for gophers and moles. I have a problem with those critters, myself. I do not believe it would work on them because the Yard Guard Repellers are used above ground. Gophers and moles have underground tunnels. The sound waves the machine emits would only work above ground.

Yes, I use them for voles in my yard and garden beds. I caught over 20 last year. I complement it with mouse baits in my ivy and edge of my yard that abuts some woods.

Actually I could not even get them to work for the moles.Sorry, I do not know about the gophers.This worked better for me for the moles. (6 Pack) Bonide Moletox Mole Traps Package of 6 TrapsGood luck.

I haven't experienced that phenomenon yet with the moles, so I really don't have any recommendations based on actual use. They are especially bad after the snow melt, and I have used poison which seems to have some effect on activity around the holes.

I stuck one in my front yard and it appears to be keeping them all away (from the front) and we've got both moles and gophers. However, it says that it can do up to 7500 sq. feet but I'd recommend getting a few and making them overlap. The one that I've got in my front yard doesn't do anything for the back yard and it's not a large yard by any means.

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 have no idea, as I don't havew moles. Best thing to get rid of moles that is organic is Cedarcide's Snake Grub Mole. Not sure if they have renamed it. It is a cedar oil spray you put on the lawn. Kills the grubs the moles eat, so they move to a lawn that has grubs.

Probably not. From what I have read, the chemical is absorbed by earthworms and when ingested by moles makes them sick.

I have not tried it on moles. I use it to keep cats out of my flower beds. Also works for blackbirds.

Sort of. The worms are in a small tray - individually - but the tray is one package, so when you open it you have opened all. But the package also has a closure on it, like a ziplock baggie. It is my understanding that the bait will last at least 45 days in the closed bag. I did find these very effective. Just remember, other moles, voles, etc. will move into your area when a void is created (current occupants are dead) so you might find you will use more than one or two baits.

This product may kill the mole. However, you will need to do 2 more things:1. purchase a bug killer spray or granules for your lawn. This is what the moles are eating. Getting rid of the food source will cause the moles to leave.2. purchase a mole repellent. I use a sound emitting type that produces a high pitch sound in the ground which the moles cannot tolerate. Some whirligigs will do that also if there is enough wind to turn them. Hope this answers your question.Jim

Not even worked for moles. I tried so many different ways, so I did not make myself mistake to setup, but still didn't work. Maybe my backyard mole's IQ is so much higher than other area. That's all I can say. I can't judge this product is good and bad, because someone did it worked. Good luck , if you want to try them.

I have never had to deal with Voles so I an unable to answer your question. This did not work for me trying to rid our yard of Moles.

They may last for years but they don't work for the moles in the pacific northwest as they go so deep. I had good luck with molecat. Go to: molecat.com and these work good. Jim

No bait needed, but I caught my mole after baiting with a carrot.I am sure it depends on the vermit.Might take trying a few things.

I personally would say no. Marigolds ward off/kill root nematodes but these are a type which eats larva. I would think they are not going to be attacking any plants just hunting down immature insects. I have a highly noticeable difference in the flea situation in our yard and I have not put these guys in the yard since last year which tells me my plants / flowers are not killing them.
