MOLES . . . the enemy

I gave up on the mole traps that have the sharp spikes that are "supposed" to stab them to death when they trip the trap. Well that doesn't happen. BUT...what I found that did me the most good as far as traps go is the scissors style trap. You can set in seconds and walk away. Last year in this one area of the lawn, I caught 5 moles in 3 days!! I gave up on trying to nuke em. To much money and I don't have the patience to sit in a chair with my pitchfork and wait on them. I bought 3 of these traps and as soon as the ground thaws and I see any new runs, I set the traps and if I don't have one in a day or so, then I know that I've got the trap in the wrong spot of run.

Works for me! My lawn was totally trashed 2 years ago and now I'm down to the point where I catch 5 or 6 all year long and thats about it! You can buy the traps at any ACE hardware and I think Lowes may carry them to but I'm not sure.
