Moles

[parrothead]

They are moven again. I have caught 4 in my traps in the last week. 3 over the weekend as I had time to move traps and get them. I am up to 62 with those traps.

I just shoot them in the run with my .22 Rifle, when they are working in the mornings or late afternoons. I've never had much luck catching moles in those traps.

I pitch fork a lot to. With these new traps they are good as gold. Not like the old ones from years ago.

Exactly... when I got 2 of them between the neighbor and I we killed 20 with 2 traps! They are Gold

what traps are you having success with?

[parrothead]

Called Mole Eliminator

[parrothead]

Nothing better than walking out there and seeing that trap raised up in the air.

That's the kind I'm going to get,I started having trouble with them a couple of months ago. I don't ever remember seeing them in this yard my entire life until this year and they're bad.

I've been using this type for years. Son ran over 15 year old one last summer and had to buy a new one. I like the old one a little better. Quality was better. I trapped hundreds over the last 25 years at home. Two so far this year.

Do those work any better than the Nash style mole trap? If so, what do you like better about them?

I use to have those didn't have a lot of luck with them. I guess what I like is I catch more moles. Read some of the reviews from above off Rural King site.

The mole eliminator works in either direction the mole enter. Never used the Nash Mole Trap and it looks like only one direction.

The spike traps work very well when set Right Caught 15 for my neighbor last year ! I'm her new Hero

Wayne, the Nash has a hoop on both sides of the trigger. Compress run, make 2 slits to insert hoops into ground so the mole goes thru the hoops. When they tunnel thru they push up the compressed dirt and that trips the trigger.

I've used it successfully many times in travel runs, just have to make sure and find them. I will get one or two of the scissors style and see how they work this year.

Caught 2 moles already this Spring in this warm spell using the Nash.

Thanks for the update. I wasn't sure. I only had one tunnel in back yard and she trapped-done. I know there will be more and peek in 2021 (17 Year cycle).

What is a mole cycle?.... Do tell!

Mole eliminator. I mentioned above. Never tried a Nash. With 3 acres I might need to buy one so I have two to cover. I will get a nash amd compare.

Cicada cyle. Moles population starts booming beforehand.
