How To Kill Moles. Effective, Lethal Results. Use A Scissor Trap To Get Rid Of Moles In Your Yard.

[@robmoss7597]

The scissor traps (I have 4) have been awesome, I have caught at least 30 or more moles over the last 8 years with them. You made a very good video with only one difference to how I do it. When compressing the trap down to level, I rock the trap back and forth across the tunnel with my foot still on the compressed trap lightly. This way the blades have no obstruction and a clear shot. I have had only two failed empty traps, no credit to me for that knowledge, the Man who sold it to me explained that to me.

[@jonathanlauer2154]

Great advice. Worked perfectly for me. I ordered one trap, set it around 4pm and it nailed a mole by 7pm. Amazing or just beginners luck. Either way, I followed the advice in this video exactly and it worked.

Thanks for the detailed video. I dug out the mound and put trap in. The trap triggered but no mole. Saw your video going to reset it on the tunnel not in the mound. Ill update you later today. Thanks in advance

[@brianknoblich7418]

Great video, I wish I was as fortunate as you to get rid of my mole. Right after watching your video I bought two of these from Amazon which came same day and was ready for some Urban Hunting to get the little devil. My friend has had great success using these so he can vouche for them. I followed all the “instructions” from the top rated reviewer (don’t touch with bare hand to keep scent off trap, ect., ect), and after 3 days the little jerk was still having a party. So I watched another video about learning their active times and to just use a shovel. Next morning I put on my face paint and got savage! I caught him that very morning and spiked him on the ground like I caught the game winning TD!

[@samuelsantiago3229]

On your advice, I bought the scissor trap and caught 2 moles so far. Yesterday I saw a mole tunneling and dug him out with my shovel. So the count is 3 moles. I plan on buying more traps.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad to hear they worked!

Great trap, I just trapped my second mole, this one overnight, much more effective than poison worms or peanuts. Thanks for the great video.

[@sfranks7727]

I have also nailed moles with the pitch fork as well, but these traps take less time! Excellent video!

[@vonwane]

I agree the scissor traps are the most effective but with one exception. The Victor Plunger # 0645 works better where straight objects like a raised bed planter attract moles that burrow tunnels around it. The Victor Plunger trap can sit right next to the flat surface and accurately target the tunnel that runs parallel to the flat side. The scissor trap doesn't work in this case. Other than the exception above, I agree, scissor traps are the most reliable method to catch them. I've used scissor traps for over ten years. They work and what better evidence than a dead body to know you killed the pest?

[@beerbrewer7372]

Good video. I have had great luck with the poisoned pellets. It is so important to bait an ACTIVE runway.

[@JUZDOIT24]

Best mole video ever…Your info. Was not found in the directions…thank you !

[@petedembroski6622]

I bought one of these about 5 years ago. Used it numerous times and never got anything. The moles in our area are much smaller than the one you caught, I think the smaller ones won’t trip the trap. My go to solution has been either moth balls or seeing the dirt mounds “move” and then scooping them out with a shovel, not optimal but the only thing that gets results

[@buddy8559]

just bought one of these cant wait to use it. thanks for the upload

[@gybx4094]

I've caught two in just 21 days. There's a knack to using it. It's not as easy as a mouse trap! You need to observe the tunnel activity. I loosened the bolts 1/2 turn for more sensitivity. It took 8 days for the first mole, 2 days for the second mole. Both were caught after a heavy rain when earthworms are more active.

[@garygatto3410]

Scissor traps are great for open areas like this. If you’re having them dig along the foundations, the gopher hawk snare traps are excellent. I’ve caught about as many with each type, my moles love going along the foundation for maximum damage.

Just a follow up. Went with the poison after having new lawn nearly ruined by moles and wasting weeks with the trap. While there may be some environmental issues the pesky moles were GONE in two days. Zero activity now for about 10 days. Placed the poison which looked like fake grubs in the holes and in 48 hrs no more moles! I even looked and I could see some of the poison was taken from the where I had placed it.

[@geocatsrule]

This year the local population of moles has gone completely out of control! Tried all the usual baits, worms, MoleMax & foggers back in May, but our yard was still quickly becoming a war zone. Neighbor even resorted to these friggin annoying sonic spikes (grr, that high pitched sound every 30 seconds really ticked me off so I gutted the one she set closest to my house). Bought 2 of these traps in June. It is now September, & despite the fact our yard is tiny & in the middle of the city where it really should only support 1-2 moles, we've already caught/killed 11 of these pests with our traps. Thinking of buying some to give out as Christmas presents to the neoghbors.

[@michaelthornburg2491]

The Ez mole trap works great! What I do is mash all of the tunnels down with my foot first irregardless of how many I have. Then I go back several hours later and observe new recent mole tunnel activity. That's where I put the trap.

[@dougyates7218]

I use these and they work GREAT!

Great video! I’ve been wondering if I should get one of these…I’ve only been able to get one with my little pitchfork…you HAVE to be in the right place at the right time. Definitely going to order one right now. The only thing I would say I didn’t like about the video is I feel like you should have mercy killed the mole. It would have been a great learning experience for your son…speaking of that, I love that you involved your son instead of trying to shield him, like a lot of parents would have done. Thanks!

[@ironheadbiker]

I've had about 4 of these for years now, they work awesome. Keep them oiled as they can corrode over time and stick open. I sharpened mine more like a scissors, as much as I hate moles, I don't like making anything suffer more than needed (just a carry over from my hunting.) I'm not a p.e.t.a. freak, just wanted a "cleaner" kill. I was getting several still alive. With the sharpening, some actual cut in half, the others either die instantly or bleed out. Just make sure to sharpen the outside edges so the blades are still tight against each other.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good idea. I might try doing that!

[@nickmagee-brown739]

Throw them to the dogs if they are still alive mate....the dogs will finish them off, provided they are a proper breed of course

I tried tried those stakes that making noise and vibrate, I tried the worm poison,poison pellets and none od them worked!! So, I decided to start whacking a mole!! Or should I say scissor a mole?! 😂 The only thing I'm worried about is that,like your mole, trap may not kill it (but have it trapped) and I have to finish it off.

[@crawlebk]

THESE THINGS WORK. As the man says, you got to put it in the right spot. You might not want to go not checking your trap for over a week though. Maggots and ants work fast.

[@dogsandsmiles]

Thanks for this great video. Got two set tonight... Hope I catch something.

[@Redneck_Ed]

The devil is in the details. You're right, a straight run is essential. You also need to look for a spot where it looks like the mole is tunneling closer to the surface so that you can be sure the jaws will catch them when they come by. I personally do not tamp the tunnels down around the trap though. I've done this before and it can discourage the moles from re-using that route and possibly cause them to tunnel around or make an entirely new tunnel.

[@ColesFarmNC]

Nice video! Just ordered one from Amazon. First time dealing with a mole - it's time might be up come Thursday!

[@rileymclaughlin6350]

I did not find any thing helpful to get rid of moles, however, after so many trials with traps, poison without success, I had found a way to kill moles by using mouse trap (the one with spring, 2x4 inch wood board, available at Home Depot). All we need is to use a small piece of earth worm as bait then put the trap in front of the hole, make sure clearance for the trap mechanism to snap then use a carton box to cover the trap & the hole. Guarantee you will find a dead mole the next day. I have been so frustrated with this animal for quite some time and I can breath a sigh of relief now knowing how to handle this destructing animal.

[@liffy8333]

Great video, everyone has had issues with moles. For some reason around here they do not have surface tunnels as you show. The tunnels are deeper and will make mounds as they excavate. Its a little trickier to find main runs. I use the Victor Out of Sight Traps. The same scissor type but you have to dig a hole for them.

[@liffy8333]

@Joe you can still get them if you are persistent and set your traps when they are in use

[@ocrun6765]

That's how my moles are too, they dig deeper tunnels and lots of mounds.

[@liffy8333]

@@ocrun6765 when you excavate your mounds and don't find a tunnel running through the mound (in and out in a straight line) your set will only have a 50% chance of success (tunnels at right angles or only one tunnel leading in. But if it's fresh it's still worth a set. The key is to keep on the fresh mounds and you can control them. 1 mole can ruin your yard, OR you can do what my Mom did (may you rest in peace ma) She had very rocky soil and collected the dirt from the mounds to plant her flowers and such and told me that the moles had a job to do too and appreciated all the fresh dirt...
