Reviews for Victor® Mole & Gopher Repellent Ready-to Use Spray

Not sure why others have had difficulty using this product. The tab system is relatively easy to understand. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact I just applied it this week and don't know if it will work effectively. I actually made 2 applications 2 days apart. I have moles in my yard making tunnels that look like they are digging for a subway system. My only suggestion is the spray "bottle" could have a clear strip on one end (much like a quart of auto oil) so a person can see how much product is being used. This is much easier to use than gassers, traps, vibrating spikes, and other methods - none of which I've had much luck with.

I do not know if this product works ... I cannot figure out what to do with the tabs to even try to use it. There are 2 "tabs" ... do I break one off and bend the other? bend both? Better instructions needs with photos or video, please

I think it works but is hard to apply because of the sprayer. I would suggest a new updated sprayer that works better. As one reviewer said the sprayer never looks like it is empty so u never know when to quit.

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!

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.

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. Does not come out. I want my money back. I’m pissed.

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.
