I take a thin bamboo stake and poke a hole into the mole run. Then I use a plastic fast food cup to pour a little of the product into the run. (Around a half teaspoon or less)

I close the top of the hole by scraping dirt over it. The goal is not to close off the run. You want the stink from the product to ruin that run from being used by moles and the destructive voles that get access to your peony roots in the run and eat the roots. So far it appears to be working.

The product is fairly expensive, but so are peony roots.

I will keep you posted as the season progresses.


I have moles, but they have not attacked my peonies yet. they seem to stay in the lawn area. One of my dogs digs them up. He makes a big mess. He will sometimes dig out an entire run. One time he even caught one:)

I will be interested to see how this product works for you.
