![](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/bj123/100_3330.jpg) This is a frontal shot compared to two silicone tubes used as a size comparison. ![](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/bj123/100_3331.jpg) A recent catch female mole taken from my test site.Males can be much bigger and at times fill up the tube and are unable to turn around. ![](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/bj123/100_3333.jpg) Another shot of the mole. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/bj123/100_3335.jpgLength of the trap compared to a silicone tube once again for size reference. I have traps that range from 8" to 12" in length.I use a PVC connector to place two traps back to back. I have a separator between the two trap ends. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/bj123/100_3329.jpgI released the mole back into the run it was captured from. I wonder if they can get trap shy? ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

From what I've read moles can starve in less than a day, so I run live removals every 8 to 10 hours. On live removal jobs do you charge per visit or per mole?

Bob J...you are the man!...So I see it is a "single door" trap.........How do you deside what direction it goes????????? And do they work in sandy soil??? Are the set in the tunnels away from the Mound????/........How productive are they once you figure it out???.......Thanks Dave
