Lawncare University - "I've Got Moles!" 

I have 3 of the mentioned traps (less the out of site model) and have never caught a mole. I realize now why I haven't!!! This video needs to be posted at the beginning of the search engine!! I do intend on purchasing a few out of sight traps. " I'm so excited. I just can't stand it!!!" Had to put that 70's song in! Thanks guys for this video!!

Great information on multiple styles of traps and how to position them. Bucket was a great idea, (we put yard ornament near it but never thought about light creaping in) Thanks for the Visual instructions.

VERY helpful video!! I will start using the bucket again! Also, after watching this, I learned I was burying the trigger too far into my dirt barrier. I always thought that increased the sensitivity! I’ll get out bright and early and reset my traps

I've killed moles previously by just going out very early in the morning, or late evening, and just watching their runs very close, have to be observant, watch closely. You will see the ground, or soil, lightly raise up and down, that's the mole. With a sharp, straight spade, place it over him, and drive down quickly. You may even hear a slight squeal. Don't mean to sound mean, but they can tear a yard up bad. Also, walk softly when approaching.

You’ve got moles, that’s nothing I’ve got crabs.🤪

I used the Victor steel (spear) style trap after trying a lot a different things that didn't seem to work fast enough. I had a dead mole the very next day! I'm convinced it works. Would love to see another active tunnel again! :)

Well, that bites the big one. HEY, you have unfinished business here!!! I was just getting excited

Some may dispute this but... do not touch the trap or put your fingers down the holes without some disposable or other gloves on. Moles have excellent smell and I have had my traps avoided by mole due to not wearing gloves in the past.

They won't get them all but Skunks will actually dig them up for food where I'm at in PA where the moles tend to have shallow tunnels.

I got all 4 of them. The first one I got the most.

These work in a perfect world, I've tried all the gimmicks,, you name it,, nothing worked,, juicy fruit, poison, spikes, traps, exhaust, flooding with garden hose,,, and my neighbor told me about using dog poop or any feces. Put it into a 5 gallon bucket, ,make a slurry, I used the hose nozzle and shovel,, I made 4 buckets several daze with the cooperation of the neighbors dogs,, knarly stuff,, I poured half a bucket into each hole,, beginning at the ones nearest my house,, YOU DO NOT WANT THESE CRITTERS UNDER YOUR HOUSE!! I had over 50 holes because they just kept coming after nothing worked,, THIS WORKS,,, everything else dissipates or requires constant monitoring,, do this,, it has a lingering effect and fertilizes your yard,, works for voles, moles, gophers,, all tunneling critters,, HOLY SH!T,, LOL,, it's been two weeks and no new mounds,,

Need more detailed graphics regarding placement of trap : (

I have a question about mole behavior. Is it true that moles are active year round and that when surface activity slows or stops they are still active in deeper tunnels and can still be caught? Thanks

1-28-2018 - - Show me da mole e. Also, where to buy these traps? Also, is there a trap for those mole-hills with a vertical hole but no trails near the surface? I live near MSU so have access to Meijer's, Home Depot, Menards, Walmart, Lowe's ... where to buy? Can I buy these traps on campus somewhere for say - less than a thousand dollars each? (It's MSU, remember).

Right here in River City!

I was eager to see if the end of the video showed a catch -2/3 hours after setting the trap!! :)

its interesting how little it takes to go from "you cute little critter" to "wana play prince of persia, you little sht? "

An old African American guy that I knew years ago used Caster oil beans. He stuck them in the tunnels and swore it got rid of the moles. ????

For all those who are truly interested in getting rid of moles, you have to think like one. First, why are they in his yard, simple. He must be an environmentalist, afraid to treat his yard yearly with a pest control. The moles are there for one reason, to eat. He has obviously got an over abundant supply of grub worms (the white fat worms that are awesome for fishing bait!). If you want to keep moles from your yard, kill their food source, then you'll never see them again. I have an acre in the deep south, where these suckers are very prolific, and anyone and everyone knows, GET RID OF THEIR FOOD SOURCE! They don't dig the tunnels for the fun of it, it's entirely to feed their family.

Would be important to identify if it is a a mole, vole or something else.

I've been hesitant to use traps because of my dogs. The bucket with maybe a rock on it would keep dogs out of it. Thanks

I am a mole hater as well, I had hills surrounding my lawn but only a few in my lawn, not sure why. Maybe My poor soil and the gravel in my clay fine soil isn’t liked by the moles so they eat the worms where the garden is.

Oh yall drink sweet tea up there

Sweet Tea = Beer

What if I don't check my trap every 2-3 hours? Will the mole getaway??

In direct sunlight, you'll probably get a burn mark from the bucket.

I hear a lot of yap yap yap, but I see no dead moles.....

put used coffee grounds in all the holes they made... update when new comes up. spread your coffee grounds over. problem solved, one year mole free

That was like watching a porn with out a happy ending. Great video if you want to watch trap setting. Which one works the best. Guess will never no.

Spear traps really do NOT work in sandy soil as the points dull instantly upon triggering. Squeeze traps work everywhere- easy to use and animal friendly (except for moles). Find a main run and you will get one after every rain that brings up the worms.

Cach a mole from Chloe

labradore free rangeing on mole will scream like wild cat sadly

This technique is for people that have nothing happening in their life.

Have I got a mole story for you. Being in the landscape business. I got a call from a regular customer to clean up the back yard in the autumn which meant to cut back some of the perennials. She has soft sandy soil being close to a creek, and the tunnels the moles create are everywhere. I'm raking up the trimming, and I see in the corner of my eye some underground movement so I stopped, and it's coming closer towards me, and it pops it's head up thru the grass. It's back is towards me, and I hear it say, "ummmmmm, I smell maple syrup!" What the hell? Next I see another lump in the ground, and it's moving in the same direction in the same tunnel, and it pops up out of the same hole and I hear it say, "ummmmm, I smell honey!" Holy shit, two of them. I picked up my plastic rake, so it didn't feel the vibration of it, and I held my breath so it wouldn't smell my breath. Then I see still in the same tunnel, a smaller lump moving towards the other two. It got right underneath them, and try as it might, it just couldn't squeeze thru the other two, and I heard it complain, "hey, all I smell is moleasses." True story.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME THIS WAS !

waste of time watching this video!! show the proof that it worked not just "educated" theories to sell me on a product!!

BS you never caught a mole.

I actually have to go Michigan state University to understand and trap the idiot gopher that is eating up my plants in my yard. I will try road flare, gopher bomb and report back....

Well, no confidence in this. Did it capture anything? Bottom line, none of these videos are a 'sure thing'. All guess work and hope for the best

If this guy was truly an expert he'd know that moles are carnivores and eat undesirable bugs in your lawn. The tunnels they make can help aerate the soil, and they mat down easily. If you still really want to get rid of them however, get rid of the bugs and the moles will go somewhere else on their own for their lunch.
