Review: Mole tunnel trap, good value and easy to use. - Fast delivery and good value for money. Had to make a slight adjustment to the trigger system, but that was partly to be expected and easy to carry out with some pointed pliers. Obviously I don't like to use traps that kill animals, but I have not had any success with 'humane traps'. The mole was absolutely destroying our small garden, we now have huge sunken areas where he has excavated literally barrow loads of soil. Instructions for use; Clear all mole hills to see which tunnel he is regularly using to clear the soil. It was very easy to identify his main burrow as he kept pushing soil out as fast as we were removing it. Dug a hole the size of a spade across his tunnel. Set the trap in the burrow and lightly covered with fine soil, covered the hole with a tile for easy access, and next morning there he was, dispatched quickly and painlessly. We don't get many moles as we live on a cul-de-sac 'island', I think the cats must catch them and they escape and start tunneling. I cleaned the trap and put it away for future use. Would recommend this trap for ease of use, value for money and it's effectiveness.
Review: Does the job - Have tried and tested a number of trap types to catch or kill moles in the garden. These worked the best by a mile. They can be a bid fiddly to set at first but recommend watching a few tips and tricks on youtube so you know the best place to install these in your garden, and how to set them. They come with 2 triggers on each to catch the mole both routes in the tunnel. I ordered 3, One of mine did come with one shortened trigger than mean it only worked one way. But these were so cheap and it was still usable.

## Features

- PROVEN TWO-WAY DESIGN – Traditional half-barrel mole trap with two-way catch mechanism that works in both directions of the mole tunnel. Proven catch-and-kill design used by gardeners and professionals for generations.
- WEATHER-RESISTANT & DURABLE – Robust metal construction suitable for use in frozen ground and wet weather conditions. Built to last season after season with no degradation in performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by W***S on 19 June 2013*

These traps really do work. I've employed professional pest controllers that use these and charge £100 call-out plus £11 per mole caught. They caught some 27 moles, which worked out at a cost of £14.70 per mole caught. It needed doing but was too expensive. Bought five of these the other day and already caught another five moles, at less than a Fiver each plus my time. With the bonus that the traps will last for years and catch any more moles that appear. Never had any luck with pincer type traps in the past and do consider these to be in a different league. Once they have 'weathered' a bit, I expect even better success. Watch your fingers while setting these traps [or any other type]! However, while being sensitive, have not had any real problem setting these traps up, contrary to some other reviewers. Some have needed a slight adjustment with pliers to either make them easier or harder to trigger, which is no big deal. There is certainly a knack to it, as there is to doing many things, and the springs are nice and strong.
