Anyone doing a lot of mole work? Got several more calls today.
I have 22 mole jobs out now.

11 more moles today...not my best, but it's a start to a good day!

Anyone see these "Mole Skin" slippers from the Netherlands?

Check it out @ ons-adres.nl

im glad we dont have gophers... =) thats incredible

Does any one use the dead mole(s) for bait of any sort?

i picked up my first ever pocket gopher, one of a billion to catch.

85 mole customers current and counting

Rat, dead moles make an excellent coyote bait!
....and why is it raccoons are always pulling up dead moles in traps and dragging them around?

I have some 'aged' in rain water 4-5 years...it's a sludge now, But I be it'll work well on canines down a hole.

LT, remind me never to eat lunch at your home!

Ha!
All that damage...usually just one mole, tunnel is about 6" deep.

Watch the mounds....the next one that shows up will be on the end, (I believe closest to the bottom...although hard to tell 100% from a photo of that angle.)

You will be able to tell by the freshness of the dirt and how fast it drys out!

Dig down on the second mound back...set your trap there.
If you only had one trap to set, that would be where you will catch the mole.
Typically however, I set this type of damage with three traps...one in the middle and one on each end.
That mole will/should be caught in just a few short hours...less than 24 anyway!

By the way, I carry a few 5 gallon buckets and remove all those mounds when I set up the job. Easy to do by just laying a bucket on its side and raking it in.
The yard will look 100% better before you leave.

Also...that close to a public walk...it's better to have a trap such as NoMol or Steve's trap....out of sight, out of mind!

Well...there ya' go.....you can use that info another time!

hey steve! got the traps in. took a few out to a job where they just mound all over with no tunnels. slid a few of your traps in tand nailed one this morning along with a shrew. slick traps =)

i seem to be having trouble with my moles,for one they are very small, the tunnels are narrow,just big enough to put my index finger in,i believe that i am doing to much damadge to the tunnel when placing trap(steves)in.any ideas what im doing wrong

james jackson-
You either have one heck of a big index finger or you have a problem with something that isn't a mole!!! Mole crickets would be very hard to trap in a mole trap!

By the way- you need to add your LOCATION to your profile.

james, I think those are shrews, not moles!

thanks guys,I'LL try the covered mousetrap technique,I know what a molecrickit is

More good feedback for Steve's mole traps. I have used spear(harpoon) traps, out of sight, talparid and no mole traps. Steve's traps work SOOOO much better it's ridiculous. They have made what were difficult mole jobs easy. I can't say enough good things about them.

Also as a former lurker, I greatly appreciate all the advice on this forum.

That should make Steve pleased to hear that!

I also like Steves traps, I am a diehard out of sight mole trap user but will not be without some of his traps in my arsenal for certain situations. Great addition to any mole trappers tool chest.... reminds me I need to order some more Steve...

Help

Been trying to get one mole for two weeks. The property
is a million dollar house on 1/2 acre with sandy loam soil.
I have used steve's traps and Out of sights using every type
of set I have read on this forum. He digs around steve's
traps and fills the Out of sights. The damage is getting
out of sight, any suggestions would be appreciated.
