Victor® Mole & Gopher Repellent Ready-to Use Spray
Repel moles, voles and gophers from lawns and ornamentals with Victor® Mole & Gopher Repellent Ready-to Use Spray. The active ingredient is 100% castor oil – when soaked into soil it works to contaminate the moles underground food source (earthworms and grubs). Long-lasting, the castor oil mole repellent can safely be used around children and pets when used as directed.
How to Apply
To apply, simply attach a garden hose tightly to the self-dispensing container and adjust the nozzle to the ON position. Turn water supply on to full pressure and spray the product over mole-infested areas. Castor oil mole repellent should be sprayed at a rate of one quart of product per 10,000 sq ft (e.g. a 100 ft by 100 ft rectangle).
After the repellent is sprayed on area to be treated, adjust the container nozzle to WATER and continue to spray with water to soak the product into the soil.
When to Use
Treat all areas immediately after the presence of moles is detected. The presence of moles may be indicated by a network of surface ridges or by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed up from deep burrows. Your lawn should also be treated in early Spring, mid-Summer and early Fall if there are moles nearby but not on your property.

Helpfulness
It DOES work. But it's temporary, and you have to use it right.
Apr 11, 2023
Ok so this product deserves probably 3.5-4 stars, but I'm giving it 5 just to help offset the terrible reviews left, I believe, in error.
Yes, this is just an expensive bottle of castor oil.
BUT, of you USE IT PROPERLY, it really does work. I think the people who are saying it doesn't come out of the bottle haven't exhausted all their options--the dial turns two ways: one for water only, and one for water+product.
I initially made the mistake and turned the dial the wrong way, and lo and behold the bottle was still full after 20 minutes of spraying. So I turned the knob in the other direction and voila, oil and water mixture.
Now, criticism where criticism is due: (1) the dial is not labeled at all, so it's really a 50/50 shot which spray mode you enter into first. It would be easy to think that the bottle is defective if you get it wrong first and then immediately give up on it. (2) I also can't get the last 1.5-2 inches of oil out of the bottle. It just won't come up with the water anymore at that point. So that's a waste.
On the plus side, the morning after applying this product (early April), the mole hills immediately stopped appearing! So the product seems to work as a repellant.
I am using the product in April to tide me over until I can apply grub killer in May. I expect it to keep the moles at bay until it's time to kill their food. Do not expect this product to work longer than a month or two. It will not get you through a whole season. But it serves its purpose as a short term repellant until season-long measures can be taken. Otherwise you'll have to reapply a few times per season.
I hope this helps!
gooey mess - bad idea for a consumer product
Jan 27, 2023
Just for the sheer impossibility of applying the product (which may work…who knows??) I cannot recommend. After an hour of applying (or trying), investigating, engineering.. I finally decided to cut off the top with a knife and see what was inside after all the attempts to spray. Answer: all the product. So - poured into a pump garden sprayer, mixed with hot water to dissolve, and applied. Thick goo was left at the bottom which I added more hot water to and kept spraying (the goo clogs the nozzle, of course, so you have to keep thinning it). In the end had to just dump the last 2 cups of it that just would not dissolve. The 20 minutes to de-goo my sprayer and my hands. What a mess. Buy granules.

Thank you for this feedback. This product is made from castor oil, so it will thicken up in cooler temperatures. We recommend warming the bottle up in hot water for a few minutes to help it flow better as it is an oil. Our products are backed by a 30 day return policy. Reach out to us directly with any questions.
The worst human engineering on ...
Sep 19, 2022
The worst human engineering on a bottle I have ever encountered.Directions say on and off but there is no on and off label on the bottle. You can’t see the contents of the bottle so you don’t know how much you have sprayed. After an hour of spraying, 3/4 of the contents was gone. I couldn’t get the last 4 ounces to spray out of the bottle. There should be a YouTube video on how to operate this gizmo.
Awful bottle.
Aug 6, 2022
Awful bottle. Does not come out. I want my money back. I’m pissed.
Product will not spray out of container
Jun 20, 2022
I’ve used many Victor products over the years with good results. I was so hopeful that this product would work. I sprayed for 20 minutes and the level in the bottle has not changed. I put my hand in the spray, and it was not oily nor did it smell like castor oil. I want to open the bottle and put it in a reliable sprayer but I can’t even get the cap to twist off. Very disappointed.

sprayer does not work aftr turning it on and spraying for 30 minutes. Molemax sprayer is better than this brand.

Product will not come out of the bottle. After reading reviews I see that I am not the first person with this problem. This company needs to re-create their application bottle. $16.99 wasted.
Spray applicator does not work.
May 25, 2022
Was hopeful this product would work to deter the groundhog chewing on our garden. The problem is the applicator. Soaked it in warm water both times I used it and after two thorough applications, hardly any of the product was released. Disappointing.

Apr 22, 2022
I am rating this a three - it may be a great product and get rid of moles but it is impossible to know how to use. I have no idea if the sprayer worked - it was still almost full after 45 minutes of spraying - so I used another bottle with same results. How does one know you have used the chemical up. Then you directions say to put nozzle on water setting. We bent our tab back and could only get on and off. No idea of how to set on water only. We'll see if it works, but right now I feel like I have just wasted time. Will change review if we see less moles. But the process is bad at best.
Spraying was east. Only lasted 1 day!
Mar 26, 2022
Spraying was east. Bottom 2 inches would not blend with product and
Stayed in bottle. Maybe I was spraying straight water at end? Anyway, seemed to work on Voles eating tree bark for only 1 night. Wish it could have lasted longer. Can’t afford to spray every day.

We're sorry to hear about this! We recommend reapplying every 4-6 weeks. If mole and gopher activity is persistent, it can be reapplied sooner. It is good to know that this product is covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy. Please give us a call at 855-584-2867 for assistance.

Q&A
Can I use this product when grass is wet and before a rain
Question by: Amanda on Jun 18, 2021, 8:00 PM
A heavy rain may wash this product away, however, a light rain will help to soak it into the soil more. We do not have a specific waiting period for applying when rain is in the forecast.

How deep into the soil must the product get to repel gophers?
Question by: Charles Bohmfalk on Aug 21, 2021, 5:56 PM
The product should be applied to soak the soil around the infected areas.
Answer by: Brandon Deleon on Aug 23, 2021, 8:38 AM
Oil will not come out while spraying. Should I hold upside down? Please help
Question by: James on May 3, 2023, 11:36 AM
Holding the bottle upside down can help with the application. Soaking the bottle in warm water prior to application also works well.
