Moles are pests that do not seem to cause much damage, but finding them on the site leaves an extremely unpleasant imprint, because they can literally turn a well-groomed lawn into a dug out field with many minks, passages and tunnels in just a few hours. Various rodents that settle in dug-out shelters and destroy the entire crop can also bring discomfort. There are many ways to deal with these residents of the garden. One of them is a net from moles.

How to stack a net from moles?
It is worth taking care of the protection of the garden in advance. Work is best done in conjunction with planting a lawn. The plastic mesh is laid horizontally, after which it must be securely fixed with special brackets that are sold with it. Then, the resulting structure must be covered with a fertile layer of earth, which is necessarily leveled and compacted. Next, you need to wait for the time intended for shrinkage, so that the process occurs faster, the earth needs to be watered for 2-3 days.
After laying, you can either plant lawn grass seeds or lay it in rolls - this choice will directly depend on the owner of the garden plot and on his preferences. In any case, the plastic mesh will be reliable protection against various pests.
If the problem of moles and rodents arose suddenly, and the lawn has already been planted, then there is an alternative method of struggle. You can dig a grid in a vertical position around the perimeter of the garden, to a depth of about 50-60 centimeters. In this case, the animals will not be able to get to the site, because it is extremely rare for them to dig passages deeper than 35-40 centimeters from the surface of the earth.
The net from moles is a very malleable material: to bring the product to the required dimensions, you can use a pruner or scissors, which will undoubtedly greatly simplify the process of laying it.
