Well, I don't know 'em all, but I do fine with some harpoons and out-o-sites. ...yes, harpoon traps. As I tell many of my customers who fail with the same traps, "It's the trapper, not the traps." Steve Albano's traps are well-liked by many.

What ,in your opinion, are the best mole traps and why. We have clay soil here in Georgia... Fred your gonna get two traps recommended The Victor OOS, and Steve Albano's Trapline Products Mole traps. Both traps are good traps . "It's the trapper, not the traps." I like Steve's traps because they work for me -just like OOS does for others. Steve's traps are set underground out of the way from lawn equipment. They are made of stainless steel and and do not rust. JMHO

I have been using Steve Albano's 100% of the time, but I am adding a few Victor OOS. Steve uses and make his traps that he sells. So they are American made! That is a plus right there.

They catch moles. But from a practical standpoint there are less expensive, less bulky, easier to set options for the professional. I have a customer who used to be a distributor for that trap. He gave me one. He still paid me to trap his moles with oos. Judging by the size of his and my house, you might say there's more money in selling the traps than setting the traps.

Bob: Today I check the traps I re- set 3 days ago and bedding the tongs deeper. I only had one dug under and one tripped but had some mole fur on the tongs. Might have set it to deep. Before in the same traps I had 6 dug under. I think if I had set them deeper my catch rate would have went up. The traps that I was checking was not the first check but the second. From now on I will be bedding the traps different and taking a little more time. Thanks for the heads up.
