Hello,
As a preventive fight against the arrival of terrestrial voles in my vegetable garden (setting up hay this fall), I wanted to have an opinion from you on these questions:
1) Do you think the "buried iron rod method with a plastic bottle at the end" effective? (vibrations / sounds emitted in the ground with the mechanical action caused by the wind between the bottle and the iron rod)
A person published on his site a similar use, but with a bottle of water transformed into a "wind turbine" (accentuation of vibrations / sounds?). Although this achievement was designed to combat moles, I imagine that we can have a similar result with mole rats ... Here is the link of this blog:

The few comments seem positive ... I think I opt for this method, take the test and make a return if necessary
2) Do you think there is a risk of significant "collateral" damage using this system? (i.e. harming earthworms)
Goods.
Happy New Year.

Re: Rats-maupiers - buried iron rod method with bottle / wind turbine
who will be the most annoyed by the noise, you or the voles?

As soon as the noise and vibration disturbances are acceptable to all (except for voles, even birds turning the hay in search of worms), I am ready to try the experience!
My father applied this method in his "traditional" vegetable garden (containing carrots and parsley, among others ...) not very far from mine, but I do not think that we can draw any significant conclusion despite the fact that his vegetable garden has never been "visited" by voles for decades ... And this although a vole found a roost not far away in early fall, but many factors may / or may not explain the fact that he didn't tackle it .. (he was "neutralized" last week)

A free party every month on the vegetable patch with a 10 W sound wall and we talk more about your mole rats.
