Heavy Duty Scissor Claw Mole Traps (5 Pack) – Galvanized Steel Professional Mole Control – High-Sensitivity Quick Kill Spring – Reusable Weatherproof Underground Traps for Lawns & Gardens

After trying various humane options including highly rated vibrating lawn spikes without any success and 60+ mole hills in a week I purchased these 5 traps. Placing in the tunnels (once I set them right!) was easy and quick to do. 24hrs later and one had gone off already! 1 mole caught. Now been 2 weeks since, and not 1 mole hill since! Seems he was an active little begger!! Very effective, good quality, simple and the only option that worked.

After 4 months of the blighters digging up our garden and wrecking our lawn we finally resorted to these traps. We tried all the humane stuff first like the solar deterrents but to no avail. These were pretty effective. There is a knack to setting them up. Our tips: - Watch some youtube videos - Wear your gardening gloves so that you don't touch the metal and contaminate with human scent. - ' Marinate' them in molehill soil so that you camouflage their scent. - Use a metal kebab skewer around a fresh molehill to detect a tunnel. There's an art to this. Usually you'll feel resistance, then give then resistance again as the skewer goes through the roof, enters the cavity and then hits the floor - Buy lots of traps. In the end we had 12 of them on the go at any time. - The mole will move when he detects something's not right so be prepared to look for new hills and then plant new traps around these. - Carefully cut open the roof of the tunnel without disturbing it. We used a sharp trowel. - Set the trap and ensure it's at the right height in the tunnel i.e. resting on the floor of the tunnel - Ensure that the jaws of the trap have no soil blocking them - Cover the hole in the roof of the tunnel with molehill dirt and grass - Be prepared to leave the traps for weeks. - Look out for them when you're cutting the grass as they'll wreck your mower - Be prepared to feel a bit sad when you're successful as they are cute.

Initially I thought these were a good sturdy product but one has just broken at a weak joint! Having said that I have actually caught 1 mole but it appears there's more than one! So we'll see how the other 4 traps work.

These are fantastic. As a tool for mole-catching, they certainly do the business. Spring is nice and tight so once the trap is set correctly, any disturbance and the trap is sprung. They are humane and almost certainly quick-kill in their nature. The tricky part is perfecting how and where to use them. I suggest searching a few videos on YouTube, you’ll soon have the hang of finding the best spots to place them. My tip - buy several. I have 10 of these now. We have nearly 3acres of land and last summer had a lot of mole activity. According to where you read, moles are solitary and you won’t find many together. Well we caught well over 10 moles using these traps over a 2/3month period. Finally, after constant use I did find these siezed up a little. But a little WD-40 and we’re back catching moles this year.

I tried EVERYTHING to deter moles before these but honestly nothing else works and after 6 months of 15-20 new hills every 24 hours, our garden was a wreck so I caved. Caught 2 moles but neither were killed by the traps unfortunately so you need to be prepared to dispatch them yourself or take them to a vet.

5 sturdy traps received. Set all 5 up in active hills. Think the first 24hrs must have disturbed the mole/s as I had weeks of waking up to more hills each morning that there was barely a patch of undisturbed grass. Within 48hrs... SNAP! A mole caught in an active hill. A sigh of relief (and also guilt) but there's SO much damage caused at an expense the set of 5 were well worth the money. The grass is just awful, like a labyrinth under foot and caves in everywhere to the tunnels, so the sooner you invest in these the better for your lawn. Been advised to Bury the dead mole back deep in its tunnel as they're territorial?! So this will deter other moles moving in. Not keen on the idea but I'll do whatever it takes. Fingers crossed.

The traps work as needed. Watch a couple of YouTube videos for some tips. It took me about a week or persistently setting the traps every day, then got him on the 7th day. Don't put them directly in the hills. Clear the hill, find the hole beneath it, then follow it out a little bit. You'll have to pull up the turf a bit where the tunnel is, and make it look worse for a while. Put the trap in the tunnel the direction the mole would run, make sure there's no stones to block it. Set it and cover it with loose soil and grass. Be prepared for a few false positives!

One of the traps is missing lip on setting mechanism so it won't work. Other 4 are fine though.

In autunno fermo il robottino taglia erba, il quale è un ottimo dissuasore per le talpe, e quest'anno, purtroppo, le talpe sono arrivate subito di gran carriera. Dopo solo due ore dal posizionamento delle trappole, ho fatto la prima vittima. E' vero non ci sono le istruzioni, ma su YOUTUBE ci sono molti video che spiegano il posizionamento corretto . Comunque è molto facile e intuitivo. Cinque stelle meritate.

Imballaggio minimale, arrivano in una scatola senza confezione, istruzioni né niente. Comunque basta prenderle in mano per capire il meccanismo. Cercate su YouTube per capire come posizionarle. Risultato ottenuto al primo tentativo. Consigliate

Le ho regalate a natale a mio cognato che era disperato per i cumuli di terra nel suo prato provocati dalle talpe. Dopo 3giorni con queste trappole ne ha già catturate 2.

Ottimo se ben messe risultato assicurato 3 catture in 10 gg. Con altri metodi ( tunnel e accrocchi vari ) 2 in sei mesi . Consigliato
