Tips For A Better Mole Trap

By Coleen Torres


It is only a given for people to have cute animals these days as a part of their domestic households. However, know that animals are not only being domesticated these days. There are those animals that people must get rid of no matter what. The animal species that are considered pests and causes damage should be exterminated as soon as possible.

A good example of the latter are the moles. These are the animals which may not be as disgusting as rats but they should be gotten rid of as well. They do not cause physical harm, diseases, or any of the sort but they can be problematic because they dig up your lawns. You should consider setting a mole trap that will kill them.

If you wish to get rid of them as soon as you can, then you have the option of calling for pest professionals. These professionals deal with more than just getting rid of termites, rats, and other known pests in your household. They can also deal with other animals that are causing ugly sightings in your house.

Of course, you need to pay these professionals to get rid of the animals that are plundering your lawn. When it comes to paying these professionals, they range from cheap ones to expensive ones. The price will depend on the extent of this removal or the experience of the professionals handling the said case.

Do not be disheartened though if you cannot find the professionals with an affordable service. You may actually take charge of this kind of project by yourself. You just have to get the right materials, tips, instructions, and such to be able to do this yourself. Also, you should know what traps you can design for this purpose.

Remember that these moles are not that difficult to get rid of. When you want to get rid of these moles, then you just have to find the common traps that you may take advantage of with this. Here are three of the common types for the traps you must know of nowadays.

Spear traps. Normally, you get this set up on active surface tunnels. The tunnels just need to be squished down so that you can set up the said traps. Of course, you also have to position the trigger pan correctly on the ground. You have to place this against the ground so that it can be triggered by crawling moles.

Scissor traps. These are those that are set on top of the active surface tunnels as well but with scissor blades instead of trigger pans put on the ground. The scissor blades are put on side of the tunnels. When the traps are triggered by these animals, the blades will quickly snap together. This will then kill the said animals.

Paper clip traps. You should know that this is almost similar to the other traps. You will also have to use this in the tunnels. When you position them, you put them back to back, facing outward. When the animals crawl in, the traps' pins will slip immediately. The moles are then trapped and killed.
