    Everyone has a different method of control. Personally, I like to deter pests. You shouldn't have to kill them if you would rather just deter them, right? There is always a way to deter pests without killing them. Sometimes all it takes is keeping them away in the first place. Using such natural solutions as: rosemary oil, garlic oil, neem oil, Black pepper suspension, coffee grounds ,Other plant based toxins, such as chrysanthemum leaf tea, and even Hot pepper extract, is a safe and ecologically friendly way to Keep pests away without harming the natural flow of things too badly. :)

    Aside from some really nasty chemicals, there is not a whole lot one can do about moles. The best mole control I have ever come across was my Jack Russel when she was still alive.

    Here is an article that will help give you some more ideas: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/animals/mole-control.htm

    What is the name of the involved plant and do you have a picture? It is also helpful to know where you live or at least the ag zone. Do the spots appear on the branches or just leaves? Sorry, but a bit more info will go a long way. If the affected plant is a maple, you may be seeing black tar spots. They are unsightly but not detrimental to the plant.

    As long as the area you are using isn't for plants that you will consume. The plants will take this up, and it can be quite toxic. As long as you are not going to consume these plants, then it might be ok. But just make sure this is not contaminating anyone else's property, as these chemicals can be rather toxic.

    Moth balls may repel small animals and some insects but they are highly toxic, especially those formulated with benzene. This means pets, other wildlife and children are at risk. Inhaling fumes is unhealthy and it takes quite a few moth balls to achieve repellent effects. You may like this website: http://icwdm.org/ControlMethods/Mothballs.aspx
