• 6 oz of Organic Castor oil to 2 gallons of water
• 2 tablespoons of dish detergent
• This will treat 6000 sq ft of garden.

"I do a lot of vegetable gardening and also have a large yard and I have my own method of repelling moles. I get castor oil and use 6 ozs. to 2 gallons of water with two tablespoons of dawn dish detergent. The dish detergent makes the oil more soluable and it sprays more evenly in a garden sprayer.

I spray the soil just before it rains so the rain will soak the oil in the soil. I use the ratio of 1 oz. oil to 1000 sq. ft. of yard or garden.

I have quite a few daylilies..... and moles and voles and daylilies don't mix very well. This spraying last about 6 months and I usually spray in March and September.. It works for me. The storebought repellents cost about $2.00 per ounce."

Here are the basic steps to using castor oil for mole removal on your FACE

1. Use some of the oil to massage the mole and surrounding area in order to soften the mole.
2. Mix about a half teaspoon of baking soda together with one teaspoon of castor oil to form a very thick paste. You can mix up a large amount of this solution and store it in a jar with a lid for further applications.
3. Taking a small amount of this paste, apply it directly to the mole. Cover it with a bandaid to keep the paste in place and leave it on overnight.
4. When you wake up in the morning, after you have had a shower, etc., reapply the paste and cover it with another bandaid.
5. You will need to repeat this procedure over several weeks or months to see results. Does castor oil remove moles? Yes, it does remove moles, eventually. You do need to perform repeated treatments continuously for many weeks or possibly months, however, eventually you will see some results. This can become quite tedious for some people, because they want results sooner than weeks or months. In this case, you may try some more extreme treatments, or consult with your doctor. If cost is an issue, there are other more effective natural remedies that work much more quickly to remove moles

How to Get Rid of Moles on Your Lawn

1. Step 1 Remove grubs from your lawn. Grubs are an excellent source of food for moles. Purchase a product like cyfluthrin from your local nursery or feed stores and apply to your yard as per the instructions on the product.
2. Step 2 Spread castor oil over your yard. Water your yard thoroughly, then spray castor oil over your yard with a pump-up sprayer. Water the yard again to disperse the castor oil into the soil.
3. Step 3 Plant chocolate lilies around your yard. The bulbs and flowers of this plant have a very distinct odor that keeps moles away.
4. Step 4 Spread some human hair around the molehill. Moles do not like the scent of humans. Get human hair from your local barbershop or hair salon.

Another way: How to Get Rid of Moles on Your Lawn

Take 1 cup of Murphy's Oil Soap, 1 oz. Castor Oil and 1/4 cup Cayenne Pepper. Mix one-cup of Murphy's Oil Soap with one ounce of castor oil and a quarter cup cayenne pepper. Put this in a hose end sprayer and saturate the area where you are having the problem.

If you can find its burrow entrance flood the hole and oil soap will make the castor oil stick to its skin. The Castor Oil is a natural stinging agent and causes its skin to itch and the Cayenne pepper will burn where it itches. This mixture will not kill it but it will make it very unwelcome.

If you have a strong rain, re-spray as soon as the ground is dry and do not let the family pets get in this area. This is also good for squirrels, coons and possums.
