2024 mole hunt has been an overwhelming success. I Can't believe how this year has gone so far. Maybe these 4 will be it for the year but if the little ba$ta*ds return, the mole whisperer will make short work of them.
The trap I use is an antique plunger style, similar to the Yard Dog. It was my grandfather’s. He taught me as a kid, and I’ve always been able to clear those pesky moles with it. I enjoy seeing the different types you are using. Thanks for sharing.
I've been playing whack-a-mole in my yard for 30 years and only got 2. The first was decades ago with a scissors trap and the second was last year with a spike trap. I put traps all over and the damn things just avoid them. On both the times I got one the trap had been in place for months and all but forgotten, then one day I noticed it tripped. Never had a false trip either. I have 3 Gopher Hawk traps that never caught anything. I don't care for them because my tunnels are never deep enough to make them stand up.
I only have a regular residential lot and my cat did the mole killing, but the cat is no longer with us so I guess I’ll try a couple of these and cross my fingers.
@@flyingo I'm still waiting for our cats to go after the moles but in the meantime the wire Tek mole eliminator is fantastic you won't be disappointed.
Currently in the process of watching some of your videos… question, how much do you stomp the tunnel down before laying the trap down? And is the trap laid in the flattened part or are the scissors in the tunnel with the trigger plate over the flat part? Lately I’ve had lots of moles come to the trap but they don’t dig under. I’m not sure if I’m flattening it too much or if the traps not sensitive enough. I’d love to hear your take Edit: I’m in North Texas
