A TikTok user named William, who is also a farmer, has shared a cheap and easy hack to get rid of pesky moles in his garden. The method, which costs only $2, uses Juicy Fruit chewing gum and requires zero pesticides or poisons. William demonstrated in his video how he uses the gum to deter moles from his garden. He first locates the mole tunnel and places the gum inside, covering it up with soil. When the mole returns to clear the tunnel, it comes across the Juicy Fruit and eats it, but cannot digest the gum. William is not entirely sure if the gum kills the mole, but he is certain that it deters them from coming back.
Many TikTok users were impressed with William’s hack and took to the comments section to share their thoughts. Some said that it was a safer and easier alternative to shooting the garden with a .22, while others were excited to try it out themselves. One viewer even mentioned that they detest gum but are willing to buy it just to try this hack.
In addition to William’s hack, other TikTok users have shared their own gardening tips. One user revealed a budget-friendly way to keep your backyard mosquito-free, while another shared a method for preventing squirrels from damaging your garden.
This hack is a great example of how simple solutions can often be the most effective. It is also a reminder that we should always be looking for ways to solve problems without harming the environment. William’s use of a non-toxic and inexpensive method to get rid of moles is a testament to this.
It is important to note, however, that while William’s method may work for some, it may not be effective for everyone. It is always best to do your own research and consult with experts before trying out any new gardening techniques.
