When placed in the ground and activated, sonic pulses penetrate the soil, emitting a sound which is highly irritating to moles and gophers who are virtually blind and extremely sensitive to sound and vibrations. Climate permitting, leave Spike in the ground to repel new generations of pests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eEasy- to- use, the Spike is designed with a convenient removable battery sleeve for trouble-free battery replacement. Spikes will work for 4 – 6 months on one set of alkaline batteries. Spike must be used continuously for 7-14 days before ground rodents start to move away from the area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBe sure to insert the Spike into the soil so that the cap is flush with the ground to avoid t ripping hazards and the chance of hitting it with a lawnmower. Effectiveness depends largely upon soil type: dry, sandy or peat soil does not conduct the sonic waves easily.
