Just set up a grape vinyard... a lot of traps

Two more today thanks to LT GREY.
How does that go, a poet and don't know it.
I do have a large foot,14s.
Thanks again LT. It is getting fun.


This is my first happy customer.

Unless the EasySet Mole Traps I used repeatedly last year without catching anything,
I got this year four moles, the two first from the same hole on my first attempt with the Trapline Mole Trap.

Thanks Mister Albano!

Yes, and congrats on your success,Tapis.

It's time to see this thread again.

We haven't had rain for months. Mostly clay type soil. The moles are deep like they would be for winter. All they are showing me are random erratic feeding type tunnels and no mounds. All of their travel seems to be in deep existing tunnels. How do you guys trap moles when all of their sign isn't used again?

I just keep setting traps in the feeding tunnels and set
as many as possible. Eventually you will get the critter. I
use Steve's traps on these tunnels.

Hey Tapis thanks for posting pictures, and glad your catching your moles. Those guys look small to me, maybe it just looks that way in the picture. Normally the moles should be a little larger the further north the location.

We get them all sizes here, even this late !

Last weeks catch for a "Landscaper" He wants me back as soon as its spring... Caught two for him the first night setting up before the big Snow dump. Its good to impress a man with a large business himself... lots of cards will be passed out

**Thanks LT**

...just in time for Christmas !

Does anyone develop "partnerships" with landscaping companies to get mole work? Is it worth the time/effort to contact those guys?

Usually just referral based. I won't exchange money or barter services as someone will always feel they got short changed. The professional courtesy of just referring work makes it easier for you to look each other in the eye. I have several lawn companies that I exchange referrals with and it goes a long way with winning the trust of the new prospect.

During the podcast there was discussion of properly setting Steve's trap to improve catch efficiency. Steve said to push the legs into the dirt when you are bedding the traps. please excuse my ignorance, but which legs would that be? the vertical "tines" (B on the instruction sheet)? or the horizontal that goes to the tines?

Hey cubs, hope this helps. It's a hard thing to explain in words, here's a video showing what I was trying to say the other night...

Thanks steve! Is that a new video? or did you have it on your site last year. don't remember that one.

What do you recommend for tethers? do you make your own or buy them premade?
