Solar Powered Sonic Spikes

Sweeney’s New Solar Powered Sonic Spikes Drives Moles & Gophers Away
Chemical-free Product Uses Sonic Pulses to Repel Rodents

ST. LOUIS –Sweeney’s has done it again. One of the nation’s leading makers of mole and gopher control products for consumers, the company has taken a good thing and made it even better. Sweeney’s mole and gopher sonic spikes are now solar powered – no batteries are required. The new Solar Powered Sonic Spikes offer a convenient, chemical and poison-free alternative for driving moles, gophers and other rodents out of homeowners’ lawns.

“Moles and gophers are some of the most disruptive lawn and garden pests around, because they can literally destroy the lawn,” says Sweeney’s resident mole control expert Stewart Clark. “Solar Powered Sonic Spikes, the newest addition to our line of mole and gopher control options, is a great option to send burrowing rodents scurrying away.”

Sweeney’s Solar Powered Sonic Spikes rely on sonic pulses that penetrate throughout the soil every 30 seconds. While the pulses are inaudible and harmless to humans and pets, they are incredibly irritating to underground rodents, who have an acute sense of hearing. Within seven to 14 days of continuous use, moles and gophers should start to move away from the affected area, irritated, but otherwise unharmed. One solar charge will last up to five days.

“The fact that homeowners don’t have to worry about buying and changing batteries in order to operate the spikes is a huge plus – but they’re also water-resistant and are built with a mow-over design, making it one of the most convenient mole control products in the market today,” notes Clark.

To use, simply insert the spike until it is flush with the ground. Fully inserted, the spike will be virtually unnoticeable and can be safely walked and mowed over. Each spike will cover up to 7500 square feet of lawn.

Sweeney’s Mole & Gopher Sonic Spikes are available at leading hardware, home center, mass merchant, farm and fleet and independent garden center retailers nationwide.
