Trapping Moles with Paul Gautschi

[@katiebac48]

Genius! We used Victor traps, but there are a few things you have shown here, that will make our success better, thank you!!!

[@johnm3411]

Great video !! Thanks for the tips about filling the hole and the stick under the trigger ... Gonna try again. Our Cairn Terrier is a great mole catcher as well .

[@MoneyMaples]

I finally caught my first mole because of this video. Thank you!!

[@michaelperezano2528]

Love your videos Paul. I have truly learned a lot by them brother.

[@schafn]

It's interesting to learn that the moles will use the same tunnels year after year, mole after mole. That explains what I have seen in my yard. We have gone from no moles to one mole to now this year there are moles everywhere. I've been using the spike traps and I haven't had a verified kill yet. Plus my dogs like to dig in the yard to "help out" with the mole problem. They don't seem to realize they are just making the destruction even worse.

[@humbertogarza962]

Couldn't help notice your truck. What year and model is it. Really nice. I like it.

[@dami2001]

This trap would that work for voles as well? Thank you for your help!

[@adelinazenowicz528]

Thank you so much for sharing this ,,,,I have so many of these turned over dirt mounds and I would fill the hole with water till one come out ,,,but that would make a muddy mess ,I'm gonna look for these traps ,,,,,,, and thank you so much Paul for sharing how you talk to God our Father and I just love how you say "Yay God " and how much he loves us. So glad ,,yay God

[@inkedtoo1097]

Which State are you located?

[@robertortega385]

Great Video My friend thanks for the lesson 😊

[@popcorn4030]

Thank you for the video, I used o trap until I found how well castor oil pellets work so well to keep them out they hate it and works so well. google and check it out. You can also probably make your own out of say ground up corn or something and coating with castor oil.

[@GrowingBackToEden]

Popcorn yeah I’ve used castor oil in the past. I prefer just getting rid of the problem rather than deterring it since once it’s done it’s done and I don’t have to keep fighting it

[@OhItsJustMe2]

We do not have a mole problem but coyotes and bobcats give up fits (for those we use MB550's).

[@christinehackett8321]

Great guidance for real success-thank you!

[@MadWeiner]

My Father had that same walking stick. It was hand made by a gentleman in Oregon.

[@slurender]

Doggy was like 'hey pop you yelled at me for digging, how come you can do it ?

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Has he tried putting up owl nest boxes? They love to eat moles and voles

[@jmpestsolutions8771]

Victor are my main traps so will def be putting this into action!!

[@ZaatarGardens]

Commenting while watching..... first off amazing camera, what do you film with....?

[@GrowingBackToEden]

I use a canon 80D and it's a vlogging wide lens... I don't know the size lens off the top of my head though...

[@karenm5681]

LOL..."Tresspassers will be composted." I had to laugh at that one. 😂 Thank you for doing a video on this, Nick. Very useful. 👍 Paul, you give very clear instructions/ demonstration. Thanks so much! 👌 I need to buy one of those traps and hopefully compost our mole trespasser! ⚡️He's been making lots of new dirt mounds/tunnels lately.

[@karenm5681]

Oops! I meant to post in the main section, not as a reply that has nothing to do with the original question. My bad. Oh, well...

[@GrowingBackToEden]

@@karenm5681 haha yeah glad the video was helpful! Thanks!

[@wemcal]

Great video and those are wonderful traps

[@adriaan7627]

What is the problem with moles? They eat insects, but as far as I know, they don't eat plants or their roots. So what is the reason?

[@TheYamahog12]

They make a mess of the lawn. I hate them.

[@adriaan7627]

@@TheYamahog12 If I make a mess at your place you will kill me as well? We are with 8 billion people on this earth. We transform nature, take from the animals because we can. We are the strongest. But we can't survive without nature. And you just kill what you don't like? Because of a little mess, a hole in the ground, some little earthy mountains? You are not welcome in my house and cottage garden. You would love it and you can't even see the moles disturbances. They love my garden too.

[@heatherlundie4099]

They ruin the lawn. My yard looks like a maze where all their tunnels are. When they dig their tunnels it kills the grass above, so I have a green lawn with dead, brown grass where all their tunnels are. They also make the yard very bumpy because the dirt sinks down into the tunnels, which makes for a very rough ride on my zero turn mower. I Tried treating the lawn for insects, but that has not worked and Ive spent hundreds of $$$ trying to do it that way.

[@BNOOutdoors]

I loved the video. I subscribed. I'm actually at trapping channel. Victor traps all around are awesome traps.

[@jackkirkebak5801]

Very informative Thankyou

[@zhirra29]

Great video, and all around is beautiful

[@brendahorton7270]

Great video thanks

[@195dm]

Grazie del video mi sarà utile per impostare la mia trappola victor!

[@cs_fl5048]

All the time, God is Good. I know that expression..

[@666Necropsy]

here kitty kitty lol

[@Johnnysday]

wow, how many cats have you trapped? do you guys sell them to the chop Sui house?

[@GrowingBackToEden]

Cats? None...

[@birsenyasar3494]

🦫🦦😸😁

[@jasonmarlowe76]

The new ones have a crappy spring and they don't sell the old models anymore with the good springs. Now the traps are made with aluminum and you can easily close the trap by hand, you don't even need the tool to close the traps anymore. DON'T BUY THE CURRENT VICTOR OUT O SITE MOLE TRAPS

[@jmpestsolutions8771]

Theyre making the steel ones again. The aluminum version was a pandemic thing.

[@Sigridovski]

Moles are such sweet animals. Aren't they good for the earth? You could just feed them and keep them there; not trap them with those horrible things.

[@Johnnysday]

used them for 30 years. the new ones are made of aluminum from china, very cheap and worthless...

[@GrowingBackToEden]

Yes the new ones sucks!

[@ZeljkoSerdar]

What God thinks of this?

[@TheAnna333]

That this guys is a genius

[@takje8067]

I don't understand. Paul is talking that God makes everything for a reason. So why kill a mole? If you believe in God, then you don't kill enything.

[@donttrackmebro6164]

They can be very destructive. I have to rebuild a concrete block wall in my garden from them tunneling under it.

[@rosecalabrese2624]

Kill and eat. Thou shalt not murder. Murder & killing are two different actions. Also, we walk in dominion on this earth and are to steward what we have. If moles are destructive in our garden, then we can kill them. We don't let pestilence ( creatures that destroy our livelihood ) rule over us and make our lives miserable.

[@mrvilla9100]

Nope the moles were there before you ! Your the trespasser !!
