Guaranteed Mole Trap ----

[BroBro]

I have found a GUARANTEED Mole Trap.
Follow each step and beleive it on not it will work everytime.
Item's needed a regular mouse trap, peanut butter, 5 gal. bucket, knife or screwdirver.
First find a tunnel that moles are useing (a raised place in the ground) take the knife or screwdriver make a hole in the tunnel clean it out on both sides with your finger.
Put peanut butter ( the smooth type woks best) on trap paddle and a very small drop on the front edge of the trap. Set trap right at the edge of the cleaned out hole and drop a very small amount of peanut butter in the hole.
Turn the 5 gal bucket over the trap and hole (if you have pets you may want to place a brick on top of the bucket).
I realize it sounds to easy but I fought moles for years after trying this in one week I caught 8 moles and I have not had an issue since.
Try it if it works for you let me know on TBN . :thumbsup:

Haven't tried this so I won't comment on it.

However, I didn't get much response from my post about murdering moles about 10 days ago, so I'll repeat here.

It's been about 6 weeks since Keith & Henry hit the moles at our clubhouse and as of last night, zero evidence of mole activity. They blasted some and gassed some, comparing each method. They seemed to work equally well. Since the equipment for blasting is expensive, I'll just describe the gassing method.

Needed: Sulfur (get from feed stores). Weed burner. And good to have a sulfur dioxide rated respirator, but not necessary.

How: Open up a hole, drop in about 2 teaspoons of sulfur. Fire up the weedburner and burn that sulfur. It only takes 30-60 seconds. Be careful not to let the dirt ravel down and cover the sulfur. Stand upwind and watch around the area; you'll see smoke coming out of nearby holes as well as right out of the ground where tunnels come near the surface with no surface evidence. Don't breathe the stuff.

Keith came over to my place about 10 days ago and there has been zero mole activity in the mole villages he treated. My lawn hasn't looked so good for years.

Bro, How big is the hole you make with the knife? I'm not having much luck trapping with a spear type. They trip the trap, but don't get stabbed. Thanks.

It's all in the technique! First go like this, spin around. Stop! Double take three times. One, two three. Then pelvic thrust. Whooooooo, whooooooo. Stop on your right foot, don't forget it! Now it's time to bring it around town. Bring-it-a-round-town. Then you do this, then this, and this, then this, then that, then this and that, and then...
:laughing:

Just kidding. Glad you found something that works for you. Since moles are carnivores, I doubt they are eating the peanut butter. Maybe they just don't like it in their tunnel and when trying to push it out get trapped. Or, perhaps, they see the light though the bucket and want to close the tunnel. Whatever it is, you got dead moles that you can see with your own eyes. That's real proof that you're killing them and not just repelling them. :thumbsup:

Try a Victor Out O Sight mole trap. I have 6 of them. They work very well.

HUH? How do they prefer their steaks? Actually, your comment on their preferential eating habits sent me into a reference search and yes, they are thought more to be carnivorous than omniverous and certainly not a strict vegan. They feed mainly on invertebrates, worms, grubs, beetles, wasps, spiders and the like.
Thanks MossRoad-I learned something today.

Yeah, when someone says "Carnivore" I think grizzly bear, not mole! :laughing:

Go to www.themoleman.com for some really interesting reading.

A lot of people blame moles for damaged vegetables and flower bulbs, but moles don't eat those. Usually, that is Vole damage. For anyone that doesn't know what Voles are, they're like mice with short tails. Look them up. You can tell if you have voles if you see nickle-sized holes in your mole tunnels. Moles will plug all light holes pretty fast, so you are pretty much gauranteed to have voles if you see those nickle-sized holes.

Moles also have about two times the red blood cells per volume as humans. That's what lets them live in tunnels with half as much oxygen that a human would need.

Moles don't hibernate. Neither do earthworms, the mole's primary food source. As the ground freezes, the earthworms go deeper. The moles follow them.

Scariest thing I read was that if a mole was as big as a man it would be strong enough to walk between parked cars and shove them apart with ease.

They really are intersting critters. I didn't mind them in my yard all that much.... until they undermined my swimming pool, which popped the liner, which sent 12,500 gallons of water through my garage! Then it was war. The first year I trapped 29 from August to winter. The next 4 years I stopped counting at 50 each year. So that's 229 moles in less than 5 seasons on ONE ACRE of land! Sometimes I'd get three a day in the same hole in a tunnel. After the 5th season, I only got about 10-12 for the next few years and then only 1 or 2 every year since. Prolific little critters if left unchecked.

Keep pressure on them to get them out of your yard, then trap the perimeter at first sign of tunnels. :thumbsup:

Last trip home before closing the sale of my city place I found out that a chipmunk had done the same thing to my pool. Took me a day to fix the pool. Next day, he was back. When I filled the new hole, my wife suggested I salt a bit of pool shock in the dirt and around the edge of the pool in that area. Just enough to give him a sniff. He stayed away the rest of the week and the pool was fine next summer.

Just clean out the hole and keep it the same size .
You will get alot of ant's but don't give up you will catch the little bugger's.

All right now-I gave you a kudoo in my last post-stop it with the nickel sized hole stuff!:laughing:
