“In the Akhuryan region the moles have started attacking on the food.

It is a new thing, and will be very harmful,” Hrach Berberyan the head
of the Agrarian Agriculture union said today on the press conference.

He mentioned that the moles are active also in other regions of Shirak
and around Spitak where the potato and the sugar beet are endangered,
“The moles are professional at sugar beet.” The experts have destroyed
one of the holes of a mole and have taken out from there 4-5 pouches
of potatoes.

According to H. Berberyan the moles due to their sharp instinct
easily avoid the poisonous silfosfidin that is being used against
the rodents. It has smell while the zokomorin which has no smell is
not being imported.

“We should carry out a mechanical struggle against the moles and to
make a deep digging before the srop,” H. Berberyan advised.

The Union has applied to its German companions. H. Berberyan said that
the steps which were to be undertaken by the RA Agricultural Ministry
are being late while in this sphere everything should be done on time.

“They will provide 300 mln drams for the struggle against the rodents,
but who will fight against them in the private lands?” H. Berberyan
asked.
