First ck, 3 days, Sec. ck, 4-5 days. No more than 5. I reset all traps on the first round, if there is no signs of mole on the sec. round I remove them, If I catch a mole or the mole trips or digs around the trap I will reset.

Do you putting any lure, or only the trap in the entrance hole? I think you may be confusing moles with gophers. Moles have runs without an entrance hole. I have only trapped moles.

Has anyone seen the Easy Set Mole trap that is set using your foot ? When homeowners catch on to how easy it is to trap a mole using it, it will cost you a whole lot of business ! When I saw 70 year old women catching moles with it, it opened my eyes. I buy out every place that sells them to keep them out of the consumer's hands...
could you put any picture?. Does it work with gophers? Thanks.

Consider how far you'll have to travel. Do you have other jobs in the area ? Is it on your normal daily route ? How much are you charging and how long is your contract ? All things to consider !
I set heavy and recommend if you have to traps, you do as well.

I have a customer give me two because he could not catch anything with them. I think you are wasting at LOT of money. I have also let a friend that lives a long distant from me barrow the two I have and she returned them to me and could not get them to work, the ground was to hard. JMO

Yeah, it's very expensive (~$35) and doesn't show the customer how to determine where to set in a yard. Many, many customers have tried themselves, and failed.

Now, that's a good point , Dave.
I don't know who is selling the 'Easy Set' for $35, but it doesn't cost that. It's just over $18 here in Ohio at Rural King, which is a farm store, similar to TSC. As far as setting it and getting success, WHERE you set it is paramount, just like any other style trap. It needs to be set in a fresh run ! If you set it in hard pan clay or old runs then of course, you won't do well. They have a place and if someone can help me post a pic on here, I'll show you just how good of 'place' they do have !
