How might I increase the trigger sensitivity on a Victor Out O'Sight Mole trap?

Observations:
  • Dirt pushed up around trigger pan.
  • Lightly tapping the trigger pan with a stick doesn't set off, and it would seem the mole is going to have to push harder than I'd think.
  • Sometimes notice the mole can dig through the dirt bridge without setting off the trigger.

Any ideas? Tips? Tricks?

Thanks in advance.

Hair trigger with trigger bent down slightly. Have trigger even with bottom of mole run. put a bucket over whole set to block out any light.

Take a plastic shopping bag and set the trap with that plastic between the dog and the pan. Makes the OOS trap trigger very sensitive.
