...I never have caught this many in such close proximity i was hoping someone has experience with poison just to get the population under control. And once we knocked them off it would save me A LOT of time save him SOME money. I still want to trap out there... Pez77, I get the sentiment of wanting to speed up results. However, if switching from trapping to poison was effective, then there would be little motivation to utilize trapping. Trapping is more labor intensive, requires heavier and bulkier gear, and has a much deeper learning curve. The beauty of this is that there are relatively few of us out there that possess the knowledge and skill to effectively resolve mole issues. From a supply/demand perspective, we as experts are in low supply, and in many areas the demand is high. TRapper was talking about having 85 mole job sites in operation. So take heart and double down in your resolve to master the skill and efficiency of trapping, knowing that you will continue to build a knowledge gap with any others in your area who think they have an easy fix to stop moles.

Yes, there is a trick to it. It is learnable and is not rocket science. Practice. Try more and different tricks, read (tMan), etc. Plus it is more fun trapping them than sticking poison down a hole.

We all have our go to traps, but every once in a while you have to change your game plan. We all have had that mole once in a while will drive you crazy!! The more you learn about the mole and how they live, feed, move and breed along with the difference in the weather and ground condition the better you will get at catching them.. JMO

I saw the strangest thing yesterday. I was headed into town and I saw a small critter slowly crossing the highway at 8 am Saturday. I backed up to see what it was, and a car came behind me and ran it over. It was a mole crossing from 1 field to another. 1st I've ever seen that.
