Re: RE: moles/voles

Nope, just the plain little ol' wind blown ones do the job just
fine...unless you live in a perpetually unwindy place that is. Of
course, the battery powered ones work a little quicker since the
vibrations are more constant but I've never seen the need to invest in
more than just the little plastic flowers on sticks...

Melody, <br>I assumed you meant the battery operated ones sold by
gardens supply<br>places. I never realized these pinwheels had any

moles/voles<br>> <br>> We had moles and voles over the<br>winter...left

put into the ground that send out vibrations that voles<br>and<br>>
