This device was my second attempt with this sounding rods. The first has scared more people dei than moles. This is better - the sound is heard, but not very disturbing (at a distance of about 4m). When arriving the packets I had not much time - into the earth and into the weekend gone. In return, some piles were to come, including one right next to it. So I took a lot of time, the staff dug deep and laid the earth firmly down - so the sound can also be transmitted through the earth - and cast. Then - two small piles toward neighbor and that's it. For 2 weeks of diligent mole digs the next neighbor (about 150m) - he obviously should really win distance .. So in good inserting a clear success!
