Don't know,,but I love caster oil, it comes from the palma christi plant, great healing powers.

Yes it does work, I use a product called MoleMax, it is essentially castor oil. I spread it on my patch in spring and once rain hits it to activate it I am mole free in the patch all summer. I bank on it!

I have used it on patch with pumpkins, no problems. It works, but in very high gopher areas it isn't 100% proof.

Talpirid is more effective.
