I have a mole job coming up at a rural property. Once upon a time it was a homestead, but the only thing left is 3-4 trees. It's right at the intersection of a gravel road and highway, so it's high visibility. I usually mark with white flags, but my concern is that this may end up looking like a cemetery on Memorial Day once it's set. Ideas on how to mark these so they don't draw so much attention, but I can still find them? Thanks!

If you need a ton of traps, use a ton of flags! It is what it is! The customers will be fine with it. They hired you to fix their problem. You’re doing that!

You can use anything you want to mark the traps. Different color flags, chop sticks, rebar, spray paint… your imagination is the limiting factor.

We had Blackburn Mfg. make us a 1000 ct. company monogrammed wire stem flags for us many years ago. We like the neon pink, they are quite easily seen. With "Do Not Disturb" printed on them. We have used them many times over and for other projects as well.

It is better to flag a trap then to waste time trying to find set traps particularly the Trapline traps that are totally under ground. We use them to anchor our tethers also on our traps so those occasional poorly caught moles don't wiggle away from the set area.

Flag them. Itll be fine.

Maybe spray paint a neutral earth tone paint near each trap, easy to see when right up on them, and invisible from a distance.

Just a thought, but WITHOUT the flags, if you're wanting to draw less attention. My sandy soils do not allow me to cover/fill the trap set with the dug out divot when using the Trapline Mole Trap.

I don't do anything different than any other field. I use 4' fiberglass rods with high viz red flagging. Then I spread the rumor of a big development going in with all the surveyor flags.
