How to make a bottle repeller. Remedies for moles in the country: folk and modern. Types of scare devices

The topic of fighting moles in the area for summer residents is very relevant. She is of interest to many. And here, as they say, everyone has their own road. Someone just goes to the store to buy special devices to scare away these small animals. And, someone climbs the Internet, hoping to find information there on how to get rid of them with their own, simple methods and devices. It turns out that such an option is quite possible, earlier I already wrote a little on this topic (we read), therefore, today there will be some continuation of the topic already raised.

Making a simple mole repeller

A simple plastic bottle will help us here. The thing is also very multifunctional, from which craftsmen make everything very simply and no abstruse drawings and operations are required.

How to make such a repeller from a plastic bottle?

We just take a bottle and cut it out on it, and then bend the pockets-blades. Further from below, in the bottom, we make the hole we need. And we put the bottle on a tube (diameter about 1 cm) or on a thick steel wire (or something similar).

How does the repeller work and why are moles afraid of it?

At the slightest wind, such a bottle with blades spins very well on the tube, while this creates noise, which also resonates into the tube (therefore, the tube is preferable in this case). And this noise, through the tube, goes into the ground, that is, into the mole tunnels.

Such a tube with a bottle should be inserted into underground voids, next to a fresh molehill.

How to improve the device?

To further enhance the effectiveness of this technique, you can further improve the design of such a home-made turntable device from a plastic bottle.

To do this, we already need plumbing, metal pipe. The diameter of this pipe can be both 1/2 mm and 3/4 mm, there is not much difference here. We hammer this tube deeper, that is, so that the lower part (the end of this tube) is slightly deeper than the level of the underground passages of the mole.

Further, we insert a suitable metal pin into this tube (the part that is at the top). And so that this pin does not hang out in the tube, it will need to be strengthened in the center with a wooden cork. Then we also put it on the pin, having previously made a hole in its bottom, with a hot awl or a nail. The diameter of such a hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of the pin itself.

We also make pockets-blades on the bottle, which we bend outwards. Everything, the repeller is ready.

When the wind blows, the bottle will rotate, and the hollow pipe will again resonate this unpleasant sound. At the same time, noise is created, which the moles are very afraid of, they simply cannot withstand this constant and very unpleasant noise for them and leave your site.

What can replace a plastic bottle?

You can organize the same effect if you pull your used tape from a video or tape cassette onto small pegs of any material (25-30 centimeters).

With its vibrations, it also creates an unpleasant, slightly whistling sound. Such a sound is also well able to scare away these mole rats. In addition to moles, birds are also afraid of such a device, the same sparrows, for example.

In conclusion, there is also a video where you will be shown the manufacturing technology of this device. We look.

Devices that are designed to fight moles are improving every day, but after reading our tips, you can make a mole repeller with your own hands, which in terms of efficiency will not be inferior to electronic counterparts.

All you need to make a repeller device is plastic bottles, cans and a few tools.

The easiest way to make a mole repeller with your own hands, which does not require special skills, is to put a tin can on an iron twig, previously dug into the ground. The underground inhabitants will soon get tired of the sound of annoyingly knocking cans, and they will leave your site.
For more action, you can upgrade the above model by cutting special blades into the body of the bottle so that it can spin faster in the wind and create more rumble.

The next model has an even more advanced design, for its manufacture you will need some tools (screwdriver, pliers). Add even more menacing noise to the banks with a propeller. With wind currents, the cans will buzz, and the propeller at the end will create additional noise. So the moles will be the first to feel the effect of such a design.
This model of the repeller is with an electronic device. Dig a hollow metal tube into the ground, into which you lower an inexpensive squeaker from a battery-powered watch. To protect from rain or bad weather, cover the top of the tube with a cloth or the same plastic bottle.
Miracle technology, a device for those who have considerable imagination. You can make a huge propeller with your own hands, using tin "rattles" for construction.

As you may have noticed, all of the above repeller designs are based on the principle - to create unbearable noise and as much vibration as possible. Since moles cannot stand noise, they have no choice but to leave your site.

This is interesting - the principle of operation of a plastic bottle as a mole repeller

Gardens and orchards are a good help both in terms of food and in terms of relaxation for the soul. But everything that is grown on household plots, threatens many dangers - beetles, larvae, birds, moles. And if chemicals help to fight against plant diseases or insect pests, then it is best to scare away birds and moles from the site, and not to destroy them. A primitive design will help this - a windmill made from a plastic bottle, made from improvised materials with your own hands.

Waste material - in business

Many, many kinds useful crafts can be made from the so-called waste material. Here are some useful things garden plot and gardens are also easy to get by applying imagination and skillful hands to seemingly unnecessary things. A lot of various options bird and mole repellers can be seen in various sources, some of them are quite complex, and some are primitive. It is worth starting to create with the simplest designs. Plastic bottles, plastic pipe scraps, a broken handle from a homemade mop, a used welding electrode, gift ribbons from already unwrapped gifts, toy bells or cans of drinks - everything can be put into action.

Design Basics

A device for scaring away birds or moles from the site has the well-defined name "windmill" for a reason. The main force that makes the structure perform its function is the wind. The wind blows - the windmill works. In order for such a repeller to work, it needs to catch air currents, which means it needs blades. If you set a goal, then making a windmill from plastic bottles with your own hands is quite simple. The most main part- blades, cut out of plastic. Moreover, the blades from the bottle will not need to be fixed, because they are cut out in place and simply bent. The remaining structural elements will depend on the purpose of the windmill. Tools that will be needed for work:

stationery knife;
scissors;
universal glue;
hard wire;
beads with a hole for a wire;
self-adhesive film or colored electrical tape.

What are birds afraid of?

Birds do a lot of good by destroying insect pests. But when the harvest ripens, they are not averse to eating delicious, sweet fruits, pecking at cherries and cherries, spoiling apples, pears and plums. Making a windmill from a plastic bottle with your own hands can be quite simple, if you remember that birds are afraid of moving objects. That is why turntables, scarecrows with fluttering sleeves have always helped gardeners and gardeners to save their crops.

How to scare away birds

A windmill from a plastic bottle to scare away birds must be movable. The easiest and most budget option is a turntable. It does not need additional financially expensive motor and batteries, because it works on air movement. But he needs blades to catch the wind. You can make several options for such garden helpers. For example, yes.

Cut an ordinary plastic bottle in the center into four sections that can be bent without separating the parts from a single whole.

Then, bending the blades so that they catch the wind, pieces of foil are glued to them. Self-adhesive mirror film can be used. It is also necessary to cut a hole in the bottom that is suitable in diameter. The finished windmill bottle is put on the rest plastic pipe or a mop handle. The bottle should rotate freely from the breath of the wind, but not hang out much, otherwise rotation will not work. The rest of the pipe should be long enough for the birds to see the pinwheel.

You can also make a windmill from a plastic bottle with your own hands in this version - cut long blades from the base of the bottle, bend them at an angle of 45 0. The circuit of the turntable is proposed below.

Such a windmill is mounted on a rigid base at right angles to the ground. You can fix it in any way - with a nut, if the base is threaded, with a large smooth bead, making a loop on the wire with pliers. There are many options, which one is more convenient to use, the master decides. The most important thing is that the spinner rotates freely. Some craftsmen attach several such devices on the same basis, decorating them with colored film or painting them. acrylic paints. It turns out not only functionally useful, but also a beautiful thing for a personal plot.

What are moles afraid of

A windmill from a plastic bottle to scare away moles is a very useful thing, because moles are also pests. They eat earthworms loosening the ground, spoil the roots and tubers of plants. Sometimes such underground inhabitants very, very much. From uninvited guests - moles - should be disposed of. Moles are practically blind, you can’t scare them with some kind of flicker. But moles have good hearing. It is on this feature that the principle of scaring away these animals from the garden is built. Making a windmill from a plastic bottle with your own hands means saving the crop, leaving the underground inhabitants alive, and not stuffing the garden with chemical poison.

How to scare away moles

Moles are afraid of noise, and if you place something on the site that will make noise underground, then the moles will leave it, going in search of a quieter habitat. A windmill from a plastic bottle to scare away moles, the scheme of which is proposed below, works just for such an outcome. In order for sound to propagate well in the ground, it must be amplified by resonance. This can be achieved using a hollow pipe dug into the ground. It will amplify the sound and transmit it along the ground.

The base of the spinner can be taken from the design proposed above - blades are cut out on the body of the bottle, and the windmill itself is placed on a metal base, for example, a used electrode. Metal will transmit sound better than plastic. Then the electrode, a metal rod, must be placed in a dug-in pipe so that the sound from the rotation of the windmill is amplified. A do-it-yourself windmill from a plastic bottle to save the crop is a very simple design.

Pretty spinner

Many of those who maintain a garden or vegetable garden try to decorate the site using improvised materials, the same plastic bottles, for example. What craftsmen just do not come up with from this waste material. For example, by placing a windmill made of plastic bottles over a flower bed, you can make it much more interesting. A classic spinner is made of 4 blades according to this scheme.

The blades can be cut out of multi-colored bottles, then assembled in the center with a bolt and nut or a stapler. You can decorate transparent plastic with a self-adhesive film or paint with acrylic. You can make more than 4 blades. In any case, such a classic windmill made from a plastic bottle, made with your own hands, will be an interesting addition to the flower garden.

There are quite simple designs suspension windmills. An interesting decoration can be made from a small plastic bottle - in the middle, cut the bottle lengthwise into thin, 1 centimeter wide strips. Then connect the upper and lower parts to make a "flashlight": press the blades in the middle, folding them in half, but at the edges they should be bent at an angle of 45 0. Poke a hole in the cork with a hot nail, insert a paper clip into it. You can hang a bell or shiny beads on it. The windmill pendant is ready and can be placed on a tree branch.

Making a windmill from a plastic bottle with your own hands is not difficult, but there will be a lot of benefits and beauty from it.

It is one of the noise means for scaring away moles.

Do-it-yourself plastic bottle spinner

We make a spinner from moles. For its manufacture, we will use the most affordable materials that everyone will surely find in the household.

The first step is to prepare the axis of rotation. In my case, I used an old welding electrode. It is not suitable for welding work, but it is very convenient to use it for our purposes.

Step one. We remove the coating

To remove the coating from the electrode, it is enough to apply a few light blows to it with a hammer. The coating will crack and chip off. You can remove the cracked coating with your hands or pliers.

Step two. Hole in the lid.

To make a hole in the lid, I used cordless drill. But it is not difficult to perform it with the help of an ordinary knife with a sharp end. The diameter of the hole should be such that our previously prepared axle easily passes through it, but does not dangle.

Step three hole in the bottom.

In the same way, using a drill or a knife, we make a hole in the bottom of the bottle. The hole diameter is the same.

Step four. We focus

The remaining coating of the electrode does not interfere with us. But during the rotation of the bottle, if the cap rubs against the remaining layer, its rotation will slow down greatly. Therefore, we will make a ring of copper wire around our axis. It will prevent the bottle from sinking lower and facilitate its rotation.

Step five. Bottle marking

We divide the surface of the bottle with a felt-tip pen or marker into an even number of sectors. For a turntable with three blades, divide into six sectors, if you want to make a turntable with four blades, then divide into eight sectors.

Step six. cut out the blades.

With a sharp knife or scissors, cut out the marked sectors according to the markup. As you can see from the photo, a clerical knife is well suited for this purpose.

Having made U-shaped cutouts, we begin to bend the blades. After we complete this step, our spinner will look like this.

Now it remains for us to assemble the turntable by threading the axis through the holes in the lid and bottom.

The finished turntable assembled and stuck into the ground looks like this.

And now a small breeze is enough for the bottle to start spinning. During rotation, the vibration from vibrations of the bottle is transmitted to the ground and the moles begin to feel not very comfortable. And as a result, they leave the area that has become uncomfortable for them.

This is how the master class on making a turntable-mole repeller turned out.
