this mostly a rant.
haven't been on here for quite awhile. my pest control work is capturing swarms & removing honeybee hives from structures. i do however take care of critters on my own property i've become pretty good at catching moles. i have some really old victor spike traps that i got from an older friend's dad back in the early 70's. these are taller & have heavier springs than the current ones. bill's dad apparently did not think that they hit hard enough so he added a steel block to the top for extra umph. i also have several O.S.S. traps & an O.S.S copy. the copy is a pain to set as it came with a foot pedal. i usually catch the current mole in a day or 2 but this mole has evaded me for at least a month. my yard feel like i'm walking on a sponge & there are raised mound everywhere. i'm thinking about trying a different trap. any suggestions?
here are photos of the O.S.S. copy & the altered spike trap
