The best vole repellents, compared.
Top pick: TOPsic solar stake, 8 pack, Mru-002-U-8JX Best value: KQPNMJ scent pouches, pack of 8 – Best score per pound among the other nine: 71 points at about £15.99. The title says ultrasonic and the bullets do not. Updated October 2026.
A vole repellent on amazon.co.uk is usually a solar sonic stake titled for moles and voles, or a scent pouch or a peppermint concentrate. You may be looking at a soft lawn, eaten tulips, or bark off a young tree. Field voles and bank voles are the small rodents the RHS describes. A water vole is larger, usually beside water, and legally protected, so a burrow in a pond or ditch bank is a reason to stop before you buy. A coverage figure has to survive the next line on the same page. Fields of 450 m or 650 m are not treated as measured results, and no file shows an HSE authorisation number. The title says ultrasonic and the bullets do not. The [vole repellent buying guide](/hub/pest-control/vole-repellent/sub/vole-repellent-buying-guide) sets identification before the table.

Question 1 of 2
Where is the damage?
The TOPsic 8-pack, model Mru-002-U-8JX, is a solar stake at £29.99. The title and the recommended-uses field name voles, while the target-species field says Mole only. A bullet says about every 70 feet and up to 7000 square feet per unit, and the maximum-range field says 650 metres. The pieces field says 1, and the weight field says 10 g. Pulses are described as 3–4 seconds every 30 seconds, and waterproof is claimed with no IP code. It is rated 5.0 from 3 reviews, all positive: easy use, moles gone after a few weeks with extra stakes, and one report that foxes stopped. No fault is written down, and three reviews are a thin base for an 8-pack at this price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A large sunny lawn if you treat every 70 feet as the spacing and set the 650 metre field aside.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs the target field to say vole, or who wants more than three reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the target field match the title?
The title and the recommended-uses field name voles. The target-species field says Mole only.
What spacing does the bullet give?
About every 70 feet, with up to 7000 square feet claimed per unit. The maximum-range field says 650 metres. Those are listing figures.
What do the three reviews say?
They are all positive: easy use, moles gone after a few weeks with extra stakes, and one report that foxes stopped. No fault is written down.
The other TOPsic 8-pack, model Mru-004-U-84BX, is also £29.99 and is a different ASIN from Mru-002-U-8JX. The title says IP66 and a bullet says IP65. The title names voles, and recommended uses include vole repellent, while the target-species field says Mole. Pulses are described as ultrasonic and vibration every 20 seconds. Two reviews, both inside the 5.0 line, report animals leaving on a camera and moles leaving a vegetable patch, and neither records a fault. The pieces field says 1, the weight field says 10 g, and the maximum-range field says 650 metres.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A vegetable patch where you want this second TOPsic 8-pack and can live with two reviews.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs one waterproof grade, or a target field that matches the vole title.
Specifications
Common questions
Which waterproof grade is printed?
The title says IP66. A bullet says IP65. Both are in the saved listing.
Are voles named?
Yes, in the title. Recommended uses also include vole repellent. The target-species field says Mole.
What do the reviews say?
Two reviews, both 5.0 overall: animals leaving on a camera, and moles leaving a vegetable patch. Neither records a fault.
This BOJYS 4-pack, model Umr-001-4BX, is a solar stake at £17.79, with an IP66 claim and a pulse the bullet puts at every 20 seconds. A bullet says about 15 metres radius and up to 650 square metres. The maximum-range field says 450 metres. The pieces field says 1, and the dimensions field is 6 × 3 × 1 cm at 100 g. The target-species field names moles, voles, gophers, and shrews. The only review is 5.0 and says moles were gone within 24 hours, with no criticism in that text. One review is the whole sample, so the 24-hour claim is a single comment, not a trial.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants this named 4-pack and will treat the 15 metre radius as the install figure.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs more than one review, or who will treat 450 metres as the coverage.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the species list include voles?
Yes. The target-species field says moles, voles, gophers, and shrews.
Which range figure is on the page?
A bullet says about 15 metres radius and up to 650 square metres. The maximum-range field says 450 metres. Both are printed; they were not measured here.
How many reviews are there?
One review, scored 5.0, saying moles were gone within 24 hours. There is no criticism in that text.
This is the other BOJYS 4-pack, model Umr-001-8JX, also £17.79, and it is a different ASIN from Umr-001-4BX. The title names voles, and the species field does too. One bullet says a 3–4 second pulse every 40 seconds. Another says every 20 seconds. The only review says moles had stopped by about two weeks, and no fault is recorded. The pieces field says 1 against the 4-pack title, and the model code says 8. Rain is claimed, with no IP code in the file. A maximum-range field of 450 metres sits beside a bullet about every 96 feet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A second BOJYS 4-pack only if you can accept two pulse intervals and a one-review line.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs one pulse interval, or an IP grade printed in the file.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the same product as the other BOJYS 4-pack?
No. This is ASIN B0H83N512T, model Umr-001-8JX. The other is B0H83M8NW4, model Umr-001-4BX. Both are £17.79.
How often does it pulse?
One bullet says a 3–4 second pulse every 40 seconds. Another says every 20 seconds. The file contains both.
What do buyers say?
The only review says moles had stopped by about two weeks. No fault is recorded.
The KQPNMJ pack is eight plant-based scent pouches, 40 × 40 × 40 mm and 160 g in the file, at £15.99. You place them near tunnels. The bullets claim up to 12 m² per place for about 60 to 90 days, and they do not describe a solar panel or a pulse, even though the title says ultrasonic. It is rated 4.3 from 35 reviews, and 30 of the texts in the file are from the UK. Those texts mostly say molehills stopped, and several say pets still used the lawn. Smell is a repeated complaint, including smell left on hands and a glove warning, and a minority say the moles continued. The pieces field says 1, which does not match the pack of 8. One text is about indoor mosquitoes, so it is not evidence about voles.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Borders and short runs where you can place pouches and live with the smell.
Less suitable: A buyer who wanted a sonic stake, or a large lawn the 12 m² claim does not cover.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this an ultrasonic stake?
The title includes the word ultrasonic. The bullets describe a plant-based scent you place near tunnels, with no pulse or solar panel.
What area does the listing claim?
Up to 12 m² per placement, for about 60 to 90 days. That is the listing claim, not a measured result.
What do the reviews say about smell?
Across 30 UK texts in the file, smell is a repeated complaint, including smell left on hands and a glove warning. Other reviews say molehills stopped and pets still used the lawn.
The Nitoer 4-pack, model S40L, is a solar stake in the bullets, 10 × 10 × 10 cm and 133 g, at £19.90. A bullet describes a 3–4 second pulse every 30 seconds, an IP65 claim, about every 50 feet, up to four days once charged, and two days of sun before first use. The maximum-range field is 15.24 metres, which sits next to that 50-foot line, and the pieces field says 4. It is rated 4.2 from 22 reviews. Several UK reviews report fewer molehills after about two or three weeks and easy installation. At least one says it made no difference. One review is about a garden in Africa, so that text is not a UK result. The power-source field says ac_dc, which does not match the solar bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A sunny open lawn where you can wait two or three weeks and space the stakes on the 15.24 metre figure.
Less suitable: A shaded bed, or a buyer who needs the power field to say solar.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the power field match the bullets?
No. The power-source field says ac_dc. The bullets describe a solar stake and say to charge it in the sun for at least two days before first use.
What do the 22 reviews support?
Several UK reviews report fewer molehills after about two or three weeks and easy installation. At least one says it made no difference. One review is about a garden in Africa.
Are voles named?
Yes, in the title and in a how-to bullet about moles and voles.
The Crystal Opus bottle is a 30 ml peppermint-oil concentrate, 8.7 × 3.7 × 3.5 cm and 30 g, listed at £9.99, and the title says that bottle makes 10 litres. Across 781 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.0 stars, with 50 UK texts in the file. Those texts repeat a strong smell, some movement of rats or mice, and no change where bird seed is still out. Reviewers describe spraying again, including every couple of days, so one coat is not what the comments describe. The target-species field says mouse, rat, and all rodents, while a bullet also names voles, bats, hedgehogs, and several other animals. No HSE or GB authorisation number appears in the captured fields. It is the only listing in this set that says indoor and outdoor.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A shed, garage, or border where you can spray again, and the animal is a mouse, rat, or vole.
Less suitable: A lawn you hoped to spike once, or any place that may hold bats, hedgehogs, or water voles.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this listing name voles?
Yes. A bullet lists voles alongside mice, rats, shrews, squirrels, badgers, hedgehogs, beavers, dormice, and bats. The target-species field says mouse, rat, and all rodents.
How is it used, according to the listing?
It is a 30 ml concentrate the title says makes 10 litres, for indoor and outdoor use. The bullets say shake it and reapply regularly. Reviewers describe repeat spraying, including every couple of days.
Is an authorisation number shown?
No HSE or GB authorisation number appears in the captured fields.
The Slexunilee 4-pack is a solar ultrasonic stake, 5 × 5 × 35 cm and 200 g, at £17.47. A bullet describes a circle about 20 metres across, with two devices every 20 metres, while the maximum-range field says 650 metres. The title says mole trap and IP65. The bullets describe a stake you push into the ground, and one bullet says not to use it in heavy rain. It is rated 3.5 from 3 reviews: one says rats were deterred, one calls it a brilliant mole deterrent, and one says it is not doing the job. Three reviews are the whole sample. Voles are named in the uses and in the title. The pieces field says 4.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A sunny lawn where you will space the stakes on the 20 metre circle and can accept a three-review sample.
Less suitable: Heavy rain, or a buyer who needs a mechanical trap.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a mole trap?
The title says mole trap. The bullets describe an ultrasonic stake you push into the ground, not a mechanical trap.
What coverage is printed?
A bullet says a circle about 20 metres across. The maximum-range field says 650 metres. Those two figures are both in the saved listing and they do not match.
How is it rated?
3.5 from 3 reviews: one says rats were deterred, one calls it a brilliant mole deterrent, and one says it is not doing the job.
The BOJYS 8-pack is a solar stake at £29.47, with an IP66 claim and three modes: vibration, beep, and vibration plus beep. Pulses are described as every 20 seconds, lasting 5 seconds, and the listing says to wait about a week. The title says it quietly repels mole, vole, gopher, and snake, and that the pack is 8. It is rated 1.0 from 1 review. The reviewer says it did not work and that the instructions were followed. Weight is 540 g and the dimensions field is 6 × 3 × 1 cm. Material and the pieces field are not in the file.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only a buyer who has already read the single 1-star review and still wants this mode list.
Less suitable: Anyone comparing it with the Nitoer 4-pack's 22 reviews, or a bank that may hold water voles.
Specifications
Common questions
What modes does the listing claim?
Three: vibration, beep, and vibration plus beep. Pulses are described as every 20 seconds, lasting 5 seconds.
How is it rated?
1.0 from 1 review. The reviewer says it did not work and that the instructions were followed.
Are voles on the title?
Yes. The title says it quietly repels mole, vole, gopher, and snake, and that the pack is 8.
The BAI-LUU 4-pack is a screw stake with an LED, model 057-new, 15 × 10 × 5 cm and 500 g, at £32.56. The bullets say solar, IP66, and six frequencies in a changing cycle, and a note says about four weeks before moles move. The power-source field says Electric. The pieces field says 1 against the 4-pack title. Coverage is claimed at up to 3000 square feet per unit, beside a maximum-range field of 300 metres. The saved listing has no customer-review line and no review text, so there is no star sample to read. Vole is in the title and in the target-species list. At £32.56 it is the highest price in this set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who specifically wants a screw stake and will wait the listing's four weeks without a review sample.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants amazon.co.uk reviews before paying £32.56.
Specifications
Common questions
Are there reviews?
The saved listing has no customer-review line and no review text, so the rating is not available.
What makes this stake different in the listing?
It is a screw stake with an LED and six frequencies in a changing cycle. A note says about four weeks before moles move.
Does the power field match?
The power-source field says Electric. The bullets say solar. Vole is in the title and in the target-species list.
Scores use the amazon.co.uk extracts already in this folder. This is not a laboratory test and not a count of voles moved. Ten kept listings were scored. Star rating is 40 points, review confidence 20, listing fit for a vole-repellent job 20, and review sentiment in the extract 20. The highest score takes the top-pick badge. The best score per pound among the other nine takes the best-value badge. A 5.0 from one, two or three reviews cannot win that value badge.
Star rating
40%Amazon stars divided by 5, times 40, then rounded to the nearest integer. No review line scores 0. Worked examples from the score sheet: 4.0 scores 32, 4.2 scores 34, 3.5 scores 28, 5.0 scores 40 and 1.0 scores 8.
Review confidence
20%20 times log10 of the review count, divided by log10 of 781, then rounded. The Crystal Opus concentrate is the cap at 781 reviews. One review scores 0. No review line scores 0.
Listing fit
20%A pouch, concentrate or stake whose type, pack, power and vole naming agree starts at 20. Points fall inside that 20 when the pieces field disagrees with the pack, the power or range field contradicts the bullets, the target field contradicts the title, or two waterproof grades or pulse intervals are printed. A species list that names voles beside bats and hedgehogs costs 6 on the concentrate.
Review sentiment
20%What the captured reviews praise and what they repeat as a fault. Fewer than five reviews stays at 10 or below. One review stays at 6 or below. A single review that says it did not work stays at 3. No review text scores 0.
Buy for the animal and the damage, then for a figure that survives the next line of the same listing. A solar stake, a placed pouch and a peppermint concentrate are three different jobs. Prices below are amazon.co.uk shelf prices in this set, from about £9.99 to £32.56. Entry is the concentrate and the £15.99 pouch pack. Mid is the 4-pack stakes at £17.47, £17.79 and £19.90. Upper is the 8-packs at £29.47 and £29.99, and the screw 4-pack at £32.56.
A vole repellent in this set is one of three things you can buy on amazon.co.uk: a solar sonic stake, a scent pouch, or a peppermint-oil concentrate. Buyers usually arrive with a soft lawn, eaten tulips, or bark off a young tree, and many of them have a mole as well. Field voles and bank voles are the small rodents the RHS describes. A water vole is larger, usually beside water, and it is a different legal problem.
The RHS says a soft lawn and small heaps fit voles tunnelling just under the surface, while a molehill is excavated soil from a mole. Eaten bulbs and gnawed bark are the plant signs. A stake titled for both animals does not identify which one you have.
Stake listings pair 450 m or 650 m with a tighter installation line, such as a 15 m radius, every 50 or 96 feet, or a circle about 20 m across. Use the spacing the bullet tells you to install. The larger number was not measured here.
Listings that mention a wait say about a week to about four weeks. Spraying a concentrate once does not match the reviews, which describe repeat applications. A “safe for pets” line is not a test in this file, and a 5.0 from one review is not a ranking.
Identify the animal before you pick a type. The RHS says a soft lawn and small heaps fit voles tunnelling just under the surface, while a molehill is excavated soil from a mole. Eaten crocus and tulip bulbs, and bark gnawed from woody plants, are the plant signs the RHS and Which? describe. If the burrow is in a pond or ditch bank, that is the water-vole case, not a reason to push in a stake. Then match the job. A stake is a ground spike for an open lawn in sun.
Believe the smaller figure on the same listing. Stake pages pair a maximum-range field of 450 m or 650 m with a tighter installation line: about a 15 m radius and up to 650 square metres on one BOJYS 4-pack, every 50 feet and 15.24 m on the Nitoer, every 96 feet on the other BOJYS 4-pack, or a circle about 20 m across on the Slexunilee. Use the spacing the bullet tells you to install. The KQPNMJ pouches claim up to 12 m² per place for about 60 to 90 days.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a non-poison smell for a shed, garage or border, and you can live with a strong odour and repeat spraying. The Crystal Opus 30 ml concentrate is the only listing in this set that says indoor and outdoor. It is about £9.99, with 4.0 from 781 reviews. Reviewers describe spraying again, including every couple of days.
You have a short run or a border, not a lawn you hoped to spike once. The KQPNMJ pack is eight plant-based pouches at about £15.99, rated 4.3 from 35 reviews. The bullets claim up to 12 m² per place for about 60 to 90 days. The title says ultrasonic and the bullets do not. Bulb mesh and a tree spiral are barrier methods, and they are not in this set.
You will try a stake in full sun, knowing the RHS says an electronic mole device may only move the animal. The Nitoer 4-pack is the largest stake review file here: 4.2 from 22 reviews at about £19.90. Several UK reviews mention fewer molehills after about two or three weeks. The power field says ac_dc while the bullets say solar.
Across these ten amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick on review weight is the Crystal Opus 30 ml concentrate at about £9.99, with 4.0 from 781 reviews. It is a scent you reapply, the title says the bottle makes 10 litres, and the species bullet also names bats and hedgehogs. It is not a measured vole clearance, and no authorisation number is in the captured fields. The best value is the KQPNMJ pack of eight scent pouches at about £15.99, 71 points against £15.99, with 4.3 from 35 reviews. That badge is not a sonic claim: the title says ultrasonic and the bullets do not. For an open sunny lawn, the Nitoer 4-pack has the largest stake sample here, 4.2 from 22 reviews at about £19.90.
KQPNMJ scent pouches, pack of 8
Best score per pound among the other nine: 71 points at about £15.99. The title says ultrasonic and the bullets do not.
