moles producing mounds Has anyone had luck catching moles when no run is visible, just a mound above ground?

Sadly I would say no. This trap with VERY effective has 2 draw backs: 1. Does not work next to a house or something solid like a wall due to the plate design. 2. You need an active run to get the kill... Just wait, where there are mole mounds, runs will follow. I recommend this amazing trap to anyone.

I'm answering a second time, revising my first answer. My son had a mole problem and states that these traps do not work on moles. A different approach was necessary.

Thanks you for your quick response. Bit I guess I still don't quite understand. The directions say to either use them on primary runs (which I guess are the little ridges just below the surface), exploratory runs (which I didn't understand), or in the deep tunnels (which I guess is right inside the little volcanoes or mounds they dig. I have tons of mounds, so I thought I'd drop the worms in there first, unless that is not the best option. Right now, I've smashed all the mounds down and will check which ones reappear. Thanks again.

I might be being played however, I do not, and could, have trouble with raccoons. I do use the product shown on the left of the screen. Sweeney's Mole and Gopher tool. It works for me. I have sent it to friends in other states and it works for them.

I have had excellent luck ridding my yard of grubs and ants but unfortunately moles also like to eat earthworms , so this is part of the solution but hunting moles is more of a solution.

The spikes don't work. After having them in the ground for over a month, not only did the mole activity continue, it actually increased. We found tunnels and mounds literally just feet away from the spikes. Don't waste your money on the spikes they don't work. The only way we got rid of the moles was with traps...(unfortunately after we wasted our money on half a dozen of these spikes)

Should would in sandy soil and the batteries work for about 3 months. I found the best way to get rid of a mole is to put a trap out and kills them dead. These mole chasers work but best to use a trap.

If filled with water the roller is quite heavy and will work nicely if the ground is a little soft - moles were the reason why I bought this. I also spread lime and mole repellent with a spreader. This year turned out mole free.

You can treat your lawn with this product during any season of the year that your ground is not frozen and then water lightly after application to soak spores into the soil. (taken directly from the box label). I used the product last year, 2013, before June. This year I found no Japanese beetles, and less than 7 mole hills which I treated with a garlic product inserted into the tunnels. As of today, August 2nd 2014, I have found 2 mole hills. My yard is 100' x 60' approximately. So, for me, this product has worked well.

I stuck one in my front yard and it appears to be keeping them all away (from the front) and we've got both moles and gophers. However, it says that it can do up to 7500 sq. feet but I'd recommend getting a few and making them overlap. The one that I've got in my front yard doesn't do anything for the back yard and it's not a large yard by any means.

Sorry, can't help you. Bought the Mole-Zap for a friend who has only used it for his mole problems. Sometimes it is best to consult a professional. Many of the pest control companies are using methods that are not harmful to the environment.

This device has worked very well for me keeping the moles away. It should work in any soil where moles have infested. The device is about 18" long and should be buried vertically except for the screw-on top.

I have never thought to try it for gophers and moles. I have a problem with those critters, myself. I do not believe it would work on them because the Yard Guard Repellers are used above ground. Gophers and moles have underground tunnels. The sound waves the machine emits would only work above ground.

I was not able to catch a single mole with this trap. Watched the video and read all the instruction. I didn't think it works. Watch the video and hope you have better luck than I did.

These mole trap are to big for new jersey moles...they are to large to fit proberbly in the tunnels that th moles use.'did not have any luck with catching any moles in these traps.The design of these trap Do not seem to work very well.as mechanism to spring trap does work well...

I have never used it on Moles. I believe it is a gopher only trap. It may be worth a try. Most moles have surface tunnels and it would be hard to set the trap for them effectively. If you have gophers---this is the best solution I have discovered.
