It's tempting to try something yourself first. Here's an honest look at what actually works, and what usually doesn't.

Home remedies and gadgets like ultrasonic deterrents often have limited or short-lived effectiveness, since moles are persistent and will usually just tunnel around an obstacle rather than leave the area entirely.
Results are mixed at best — some may temporarily disturb activity in one spot, but moles often simply relocate within the same tunnel system rather than leaving altogether.
These are commonly tried, but genuine, lasting effectiveness is limited, and moles frequently continue activity nearby once the smell fades or they simply avoid that specific spot.
It's a commonly tried method, but it rarely resolves the underlying problem and isn't a method we'd recommend as a reliable solution.
Professional trapping is based on identifying genuine tunnel activity and physically removing the mole, rather than hoping a deterrent causes it to relocate on its own.
For very minor activity it's reasonable to try, but if it doesn't resolve things quickly, professional trapping is generally the more reliably effective next step.
