The Mole Scram product label lists the appropriate settings for a few different Scotts spreaders. If you do not see your specific model listed, we would recommend for you to watch the video on our spreaders page to learn how to calibrate your spreader correctly. (To find the video, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page).
There are a few different methods you can use to eradicate a Mole infestation. Talprid Mole Bait is our most popular bait to treat for Moles. One Talprid Mole Bait worm contains a lethal dose and can kill in 24 hours. Giant Destroyer Smoke Gasssers are commonly used to "smoke out" the burrows and tunnels, killing any moles that are in the tunnels.
After using the bait or gassers to kill existing Mole activity you can use Mole Scram as a repellent to keep the Moles from coming back. Mole Scram Pro works in 2 ways, by taste that the moles dislike and a strong offensive odor that is very mild to humans. This mole repellent will not harm or kill moles, it will simply drive them away to prevent them from further damaging your lawn or garden. Can be applied any time of year. It is also an excellent preventative measure when used in the Spring and Fall.
Simply spread a 30 foot wide barrier around the property to be protected and reapply every 30 to 45 days. Mole Scram Professional is fast acting and immediately effective. However, mole activity will appear to increase for the first 1 or 2 days after initial application as moles become immediately uncomfortable and try to dig their way away from the treated area. We advise that you start with 3 sides of the home to give the moles an exit way, leaving one side of the home open to leave. Then after a few days apply the product to the fourth side of the home, sealing off any moles around your property.
Mole Scram Professional is a granular, all natural, organic mole repellent that is formulated to rapidly drive moles away from your garden and lawn and will not harm birds nearby.
Mole Scram Professional should be watered in for 20 minutes following the application. The soil can be damp but not saturated prior to application.
For best results, Mole Scram Professional should be applied by itself and not mixed with any additional products. There would be no way to regulate and get an even application if you were to apply it with a fertilzer.
Mole Scram Professional and other Epic Repellents are natural products, however they should not be applied directly in water or close enough that there would be runoff into aquatic areas when you water in the product. We recommend that you keep applications at least 10-20 feet from bodies of water or at least 25 feet if there is a slope down to the water.
Mole Scram is only labeled for moles, so we cannot say for sure whether it will work for voles. Fertilome MoleGo Granules are labeled for voles as well as moles.
Mole Scram Professional does state on the product label repeat in 2 weeks and every 30 days to keep up. It is best applied just before they are active in the area in spring and fall and if already in the area you apply over several days to push them out of the area. There is also a tip that might help "Where possible, locate mole runways, then punch 1" holes every 10 feet and drop granules into the holes and cover with soil. Also apply to the end of each runway."

Mole Scram Professional should be spread as a 30 foot wide surface barrier around the property to be protected. You would not apply to get it further down into soil. According to the product label, "Using a rotary spreader, cover the entire area where moles are present. The initial application will drive moles out of the area and across the property boundary where they entered. The second application will ensure they do not return for up to 45 days."
Since Mole Scram Professional does not contain any herbicide active ingredients, it will not harm newly planted sod or seed.
