Ultrasonic or scent vole repellent

Updated: October 2026

You have a line of small heaps on an open lawn, or a shed scraped about at the edges, and the amazon.co.uk titles all sound either electronic or plant-based. An ultrasonic or scent vole repellent in this set is a solar stake that pulses into the ground, a KQPNMJ pouch you place for the smell, or a Crystal Opus concentrate you dilute and spray. The [vole repellent comparison](/hub/pest-control/vole-repellent) holds the ten listings. We checked those listings and public UK sources on 16 October 2026, and we did not run a garden trial. If you still need to name the animal, start with the [vole repellent buying guide](/hub/pest-control/vole-repellent/sub/vole-repellent-buying-guide).

What each type is in this set

Eight of the ten listings are solar stakes. The cards describe a pulse into the soil, often about every 20, 30, or 40 seconds, or a pattern that changes. Nitoer, with 22 reviews, is the stake the best vole repellent page names if you still want a gadget. BAI-LUU lists six frequencies and a screw housing at £32.56. Slexunilee is the cheapest stake at £17.47, scored 3.5 from three reviews. BOJYS 4BX prints about every 20 seconds, and BOJYS Umr-001-8JX prints both 20 seconds and 40 seconds. KQPNMJ, B0H6PVZX41, is £15.99 and scores 4.3 from 35 reviews, with no power source. The bullets claim a plant-based smell, 60 to 90 days, and about 12 square metres. The title says ultrasonic, and you are buying the smell. Crystal Opus, B0C1HBMT2T, is £9.99 and scores 4.0 from 781 reviews. The oils are said to make 10 litres, and the list also names voles, bats, and hedgehogs.

When a stake is the one to try

Choose a stake for an open lawn in the sun, and only when you can accept a gadget that may move the animal a short distance. The Royal Horticultural Society says electronic buzzing may only move a mole to another part of the garden. The People’s Trust for Endangered Species says deterrents lack evidence on that page. The panel needs daylight, so a hedge-shaded border is a weak match. Slexunilee’s IP65 title sits beside a heavy-rain bullet. mole-catcher.co.uk says sonic and solar stakes have not worked on sites they were called to. Treat that as call-out experience, not a trial of these ASINs. Spacing sits on the how to use a vole repellent page. Eaten tulips or bark need mesh, which this set does not sell.

When a pouch or the spray is the one to try

Use the pouch on a border or in a shed corner when you can place a smell and replace it. KQPNMJ claims 60 to 90 days and about 12 square metres, both from the seller. There is no panel and no pulse, so the ultrasonic word stays in the title. Use Crystal Opus when you will dilute and spray again, indoors or out, and you can live with the odour. The card says the bottle makes about 10 litres, and it also names bats and hedgehogs. Natural is a shop word here. No file shows a result for dogs, cats, or children. A sunny open lawn points to a stake. A border or a shed points to the pouch if you will place it, and to the concentrate if you will respray.

What neither choice proves

None of these amazon.co.uk files shows an HSE authorisation number. Product type 19 is the Great Britain category for repellents, and product type 14 is rodent poison. These listings carry no number for that step. GOV.UK guidance on foxes, moles and mink says there is no commercially available repellent approved for moles in that England guidance. Crystal Opus has 781 reviews at 4.0, the pouch 35 at 4.3, and Nitoer 22. A larger count is more amazon.co.uk ratings, not a shared check that a lawn went quiet. The concentrate is £9.99 and the cheapest stake is £17.47.

Common questions

Should I buy an ultrasonic stake or a scent product?
Buy a stake when the lawn is open and sunny and you accept that the pulse may only move a mole elsewhere. Buy the pouch when you want a smell you can place, or Crystal Opus when you will spray again. Eaten bulbs and stripped bark need a barrier.
Are the pouches actually ultrasonic?
The KQPNMJ title uses the word ultrasonic. The bullets describe a plant-based smell, 60 to 90 days, and about 12 square metres, and the listing shows no power source. You are buying a scent pouch you place by hand. A pulse into the soil belongs to the solar stakes, including claims of about 20 or 30 seconds and a changing pattern on BAI-LUU.
Does a solar stake need sun, and does the spray?
A solar stake needs daylight on the panel, so shade is a poor match compared with an open lawn. Crystal Opus does not charge from the sun, and the listing states indoor and outdoor use, with repeat spraying rather than a battery. The pouch needs neither sun nor a socket.
Which one can I use in a shed?
Crystal Opus states indoor use, so a shed is in range if you can live with the odour and you will respray. The pouch is a smell you can set in a corner. A solar stake needs sun on the panel, which a typical shed floor does not give it.
Will either one clear a lawn?
These listings do not show that a lawn will clear. The Royal Horticultural Society says electronic devices may only move a mole to another part of the garden, and a catching firm’s failed stakes are call-out experience, not a trial of these ASINs. The pouch’s 12 square metres is a patio-sized claim. A stake is still the lawn-shaped product when the site is sunny and you accept a possible shift.
Is peppermint safer for pets because the listing says natural?
Natural on the listing is not a pet-safety test, and no file here shows results for dogs, cats, or children. Crystal Opus also names bats and hedgehogs, which is a reason to limit where you spray. A stake uses no oil, and that still leaves the pulse unproven.
