i do some local animal removal for the towns people and i have a mole job. i found the tunnel off the mound i dug up the tunnel and then i dug a " trap bed " and i put a mouse trap in the bed so when the mole is tunneling he will cross the pan. i then covered the hole with a piece of ply wood to keep the hole dark. i checked it this after noon there was a mound of dirt over the trap and no mole. i dug the gap between the 2 holes bigger so when the mole tunnels the dirt out he wont have any dirt by the time he reaches the trap. besides buying real per say mole traps is there anything i can do to try and get them . i dont do alot so i dont want to spend a bunch on species specific traps when ive got a few moles in mouse traps b4

Conduct an ADVANCED SEARCH (http://www.trapperman.com/forum/ubbthrea...Use#Post1980258) for mole on the ADC Forum. There is a lot of information on how to properly conduct mole removal.

EDIT: Please post pictures of your setup and some of the moles that you caught in mouse traps.

Silly Ducky. Mice traps are for mice. Buy some mole traps...your time is worth something.

ive never taken picture because they are just moles but i just had the trap set up at a 90 degree angle of the run . i got 2 moles by setting for mice up next to the foundation out side of the house . i just didnt want to go out and buy some mole traps because i get more woodchuck and squireel calls then any thing else

I suspect that those “moles” were either voles or shrews.

Shrews or voles x 2

ive got 10 shrews in my freezer right now the ones i got were black and had little to no tail

Moles have front paws that are the size of a quarter.

After reading this, (http://www.trapperman.com/forum/ubbthrea...oru#Post3665727 ) please post some pictures of your shrews. Here are what most of our local voles look like.
