Ahhh, don't get me started on moles. Lol I trapped 36 of them little buggers, in my yard, last year. Got that down to a science.

I too would like to hear your secrets on this. My yard is AWFUL this year already
My son and I were out shooting our 9mm pistols, on the home range, last week and after about a hundred rounds, we noticed night crawlers popping up on top of the grass.
Anyone else ever notice this?
Thanks, I have several spike traps but I generally came up empty handed. Maybe I was "letting them go".I use the Victor spring traps with the six spikes on them. Locate the straightest part of a run that you can find. Take your heel and push down a small spot in the run. Shove the unset trap into the run with the pan over the spot that you pushed down with your heel. Make sure that the spikes go into ground, fully. Now pull up and set the trap.
That's the technical part. Now, for the secret "ingredient" Very important, Daniel San!
When you see the trap is sprung, stick your finger down into the run, just outside the spikes, on both sides of the trap. You will feel if there is a mole in there. MANY times they are not dead, just caught. If you don't feel and you just pull the trap out, off down the tunnel they go.
And no, I have never been bitten by doing this. If there is a mole and it's not dead, dig it out from his butt end.
Thanks for that, I've wondered if those were better than the spike traps.I tried those spring traps with the spikes several times with no luck. I finally found the mole eliminator and it's made in America. It's the easiest ever. U just find a new run jam the scissors in the ground step on it and you get a mole every time if it's an active run. If nothing in 24 hours just move it and you will get your mole. I love these traps.
Thanks for the tip on the spike trap. Maybe I was letting them go every time.
