NoMol® Mole Trap by Wildlife Control Supplies – Wire Tong Underground Spring Trap – Safe & Effective Pest Control for Commercial & Residential Use – Great for Backyards, Gardens, & Flower Beds

These traps work really well. You need to do some work to get to the tunnels but then they work great.

This trap work. You have to be persistent and play with how to set it on the most sensitive setting. Keep playing with and use a piece of paper or something else to test how fast it snaps. You'll get it. Took me 3 weeks but I got it finally. I getting at least 4 mounds a day from just one mole. It's been a week and nothing. I suggest getting more than one set if you can afford and giving the mole less option of taking another route.All type traps work (Reason why they all have several 5 starts rating right?). You just have to determine which one suit the type of tunnel or mound you have. Surface tunnel style traps (scissors variation, harpoon/spikes types) work if you have shallow tunnel you can see. I didn't that's why the victor plunger and the wire Tek 1001 didn't work for me. These trap didn't reach the tunnel unless I did some digging, which end up disturbing the tunnel somehow, creating more work also. The cinch trap didn't work also because my tunnel openings were small (1 and half inch or less) and the cinch has at least 3 inch "pinchers", too big. So I had to make the openings bigger, disturbing the tunnel. Now the "in tunnel style traps like this one (Choker, trapeline, No-Mole etc...) work best if you can't see or find tunnels. Then find a fresh mound, clean the dirt on top and find out if it's the middle of a tunnel. Put two of these in there (facing opposite direction).All these traps do not work 100% off the time. The mole will throw dirt on it or the trap will go off and miss the mole. Set it again. And they all can be ajusted to d'une point on the most sensitive level. Some people grease them (wd40). Just try mixing things up a little and you too will be get the best of it. There are several videos on YouTube as well on each trap. Watch them for tips and tricks. That thing is not smarter than you. Lol. These things are said to be able to dig the size of a football field in 24 hours. It's worth the effort to save your yard. I didn't use the dowels provided. I found it easier to tie a rope at the round cycle on the back of the trap and tie the other end to a heavy or long object outside of the tunnel. And for those who have problems setting the trap you can buy a spring clamp at your local hardware store for $3 or less like the one in the picture. Helps a lot. Happy hunting.

I live in an urban area with about 3000sg ft of lawn. We don't use any pesticides or herbicides and the moles seem to really like our lawn. We get moles every year. Kill one and another takes it place within a month or so.In the past I have used primarily the clam shell bypass style traps that required a cover over the top of trap. They have worked just OK. I felt lucky if I got one. The clamshells require a large hole and they leave quite a bit of damage to the yard from the hole you need to dig to set one in. I tried NoMole because you could cover the traps up with dirt. The moles I have are about the size of a small rat. They dig a hole about 1.5 inches in diameter. I had to widen the mole tunnel a little to get the trap to fit in. It took some tries to get the trap set into the tunnel without tripping the trap. I also roughed up the paint on the trap a little to get a little better friction to set the trap. I set a trap in each direction in the mole tunnel and covered it with dirt. I checked the traps on day 2 and had caught a mole. I think the NoMole works and like the fact that they can be set in the tunnel and you leave them and mow over the top if you want. I have used the clam shells for a number of years and they seem to not work when a mole comes trhough or the y seem to miss fire. My opinion for type of soil and size of moles in my yard, this is a good product.

Very stiff and I am unable to set, even after purchasing a clamp as suggested by another reviewer. The moles frolic in the yard as this trap sits in the garage(with the hand clamp.)

Incredibly effective trap. Over the course of a few years, I've caught nearly 40 moles, both star-nosed and eastern. I almost never have a miss. Just locate their borrows and put a trap in each direction. Check the next day and you're very likely to have caught the mole.

NoMol is what I got when I checked these traps, so the name is right. Those that sprung were empty. On 4 unsprung traps the moles tunneled around the trap, as though they bumped into it and then took a detour. I'm thinking the trap entry is too narrow so bigger moles bump into the trap fingers and stop. The sprung traps I can't explain. It's easy to detect an accidental trip while setting them, and I don't walk or mow over the trap area before I check them for a kill. Too sensitive? Deer walking on them? Earthquakes?My second gripe is having no idea if these are sprung until moving them partly out of the tunnel. If they caught moles I wouldn't complain but it's a bummer to check after 2-3 days and find...a sprung or empty trap. I'll keep messing with these but meanwhile I'm replacing my broken choker mole trap. It's a PITA to properly set, but that style trap has caught many moles in my yard and is easy to see when it's been sprung.

BEST MOLE TRAP I EVER USED, AND I HAVE USED THEM ALL. I HAVE EVEN TRAPPED AND KILL SEVERAL GOPHERS. THE TRAPS DO NOT WORK EVERY TIME, BUT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND YOU WILL GET ALL MOLES IN THE YARD. I SET TWO TRAPS PER HOLE, ONE GOING FROM EACH DIRECTION, COVER BEHIND TRAPS AND WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS. GENERALLY WILL GET ONE PER TRAP SET. AFTER CATCHING NO MOLES FOR A WEEK, I STOP SETTING THEM OUT UNTIL I SEE MORE SIGNS OF MOLES AGAIN. THE TRAPS ARE STRONG AND REQUIRE A LITTLE PRACTICE TO PERFECT THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, NOT SO EASY WITH A MAN. I GOT 4 TRAPS, REMEMBER TWO TRAPS PER HOLE

After trying so many different methods of getting rid of moles, finally found something that works. These traps were easy to use. Just make sure to use the dowels so that you can easily locate the buried traps. Also don’t forget to be patient with this method, it will pay off in the end.
