When I was a small child (60’s), my grandfather grew Castor plants in the garden and kept the seeds from year to year. He would not let me touch them. He called them “Mole Beans”. He would put them in mole mounds around the garden as a poison.............
Does that work? I have a HUGE number of very pesky moles in my rural front yard, I’d love to use anything that will work.
I just looked up mole beans and evidently using castor beans to repel moles is an organic method of pest control. They said that castor oil is an ingredient in commercial mole deterrents. Yes, that’s the same castor oil that we used to hear about from our grandparents.
