Today is a chemical fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, I would like to tell you about such a creature as a mole. It looks very cute, cute and harmless, but in just a couple of days it can turn your site into a minefield. Trees can be seriously damaged - he doesn\u2019t eat their roots, of course, but he can dig directly through them - and then the tree begins to become very depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I've been fighting this monster (or monsters?) for a month now, and a week ago I decided to take drastic action. The first thing I thought of was to put a jar of calcium carbide in his hole and throw some water in it - then acetylene begins to be released very rapidly, which fills all the underground passages - and goodbye, mole. But I ran into a problem: it is sold in at least three kilograms, but I don\u2019t need that much at all - a maximum of 200 grams. And it\u2019s not clear where to store the rest, because it will absorb moisture from the atmosphere, release flammable gas... Dangerous and scary, in short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The magic formula \u201cmole-mole, MPH in your mouth\u201d doesn\u2019t work either - the mole, apparently, gets offended and starts digging even more. Then I walked around the house a little and came across a beautiful thing called \u201cWhiteness\u201d. If anyone doesn\u2019t know, this is a bleach based on sodium hypochlorite - and in a very acidic environment (pH \u2039 3), hypochlorous acid (which is formed when hypochlorite is dissolved in water) decomposes, releasing chlorine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I just took bleach, poured it into different jars and added vinegar essence to it. Even though I did everything outside, where everything seemed to be ventilated and so on, I inhaled a fair amount of chlorine. He stuffed the resulting chemical weapons into the holes, covered the top with some cardboard, and covered it with more earth. I don\u2019t know if it helped, but the mole hasn\u2019t dug anything else since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I would like to tell you about such a creature as a mole. It looks very cute, sweet and harmless, but it is capable of making a minefield out of your plot in just a couple of days. Trees can suffer greatly - it does not eat their roots, of course, but it can dig right through them - and then the tree begins to feel very sad. ...<\/p>\n
