Tunnel Mole Trap

Description

Mole Trap

Setting a tunnel mole trap properly is key to catching moles effectively. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide:

. Find an Active Tunnel

• Look for straight tunnels (not the winding surface runs) — these are main travel routes.

• Flatten a small section of the tunnel and check it after a day.

  • If it pops back up, it’s active, and that’s where you want to set your trap.

2. Prepare the Tunnel

• Use a small shovel or trowel to open the tunnel where you found activity.

• Clear just enough soil to fit your trap — don’t make a huge hole.

• Try to keep the tunnel as natural as possible so the mole doesn’t get suspicious.

3. Set the Trap

4. Cover the Trap

• Lightly cover the trap area with loose dirt or grass to block light from entering the tunnel — moles avoid tunnels with light leaks.

• Avoid putting too much weight that could set off the trap prematurely.

5. Check Frequently

• Check the trap daily.

• If no mole is caught after 2 days, move the trap to a new spot.

Quick Tips:

• Wear gloves when handling traps to avoid leaving human scent.

• Set multiple traps if you have lots of tunnels.

• Morning and evening are the best times for mole activity.
