These traps work on gophers, not moles. If you happen to catch a mole in one of these it has to walk through the trap. moles eat grubs and worms, so baiting these wont help. To get rid of moles, try flooding with water, and blocking all exits.

I live in the Seattle area. Try the large mole trap. These traps do work great on moles and I have caught many moles with them. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't tell you what size the traps are. I suggest buying them from Cinch Trap's site so you know what you are getting.

The cinch traps pictured are for gophers. The same company makes traps for moles. Which critter are you trying to trap?

Roughly 3/8th inch. When i first used it not only did i catch several keeper(4.5") blue claw crabs but i also caught 2 dozen minnows ranging in lengths from 1.5"-3". They are fat bodied minnows but not that fat. Each time i use it i usually bring up a decent amount of "by catch". I wouldn't suggest using it as a minnow trap but not sure where you are located but it may make a decent pin fish or spot tail trap if located gulf coast.

Ron, This trap is awesome in any soil!! I was inundated with moles the last several years. My yard was trashed and nothing would stop the onslaught of tunnels. Until I received the Wire Tek. I have to date taken 10 moles and whenever I see a fresh run start, I step the main down, set the trap and within 36 hours, I am removing another pest. Great item.

I use the Cinch 2" & 3" for gophers and moles. I leave them in the ground longer when I am after a mole. I have trapped 64 gophers and 5 moles (we have fewer moles in our area).

Don't waste your $$. The moles can walk right through this trap without setting it off. Tried everything to get it to work and no moles caught

Depending on the density of your soil, you could use either 2 or 4 for that size area. Because the density of your soil may be difficult to determine, I'd suggest installing 4, evenly spaced. (The more dense the soil, the better the sound travels.) To insert them into the ground, I've found that using a small garden auger, the same diameter as the Mole Chaser, is a very effective. (I bought mine at a Home Depot.) Drill the hole and slide the Chaser into the opening. A snug fit is good. The alternative to this is digging a larger hole, inserting the Chaser and back-filling. This is less desirable as it allows 'loose' soil to surround the Chaser and diminishes it's sound. The auger method is very clean. A tip: After inserting the batteries into the inner sleeve, DO NOT insert the inner sleeve into the tube and allow it to drop with a thud to the bottom. Doing this may break the circuit board. Lower it hand, all the way until it reaches the bottom. Most important: Change the batteries out at 3 month intervals. Use good quality batteries, e.g., Duracell, and do not use re-chargables. Remember: Rodents will always burrow up to the Chaser immediately after installation giving you the impression that, "They're not afraid of it, it doesn't work!" This is incorrect. Burrowing rodents are territorial and protective of their environment. They will immediately investigate any "intrusion" into their domain. They will eventually find that they can't 'scare' the Chaser away and will become increasingly annoyed at it's constant buzzing. They then leave for more secure and quieter surroundings. Sort of like we do when we live next to lousy neighbors.

I have only tried with gophers catching a few moles as well. I believe the trap was designed to be placed into a hole. Most chipmunks I encounter are surface dwellers.

My promar is not in front of me at the moment, it is in storage. As I recall the mesh size is 1/2 an inch. It will work for catching Crawfish and sizeable Bait Fish. Because of the mesh size, not a very good minnow trap.

1) First, based on my experience, I recommend that you NOT buy this device at all. The one I bought refused to trip at all. The moles just went under it at will. It required much too much force to trip the trap. I got the similar designed Around the Home Easy Mole Trap and it immediately worked great. So if you want something like this, I suggest the latter (which is also less expensive).2) I used these in sandy soil and have had excellent results with the Around the Home Easy Mole Trap.Eric

Not really...unless you are really lucky, and those chances are not likely to happen. Look at buying the "Victor 0645 Mole Trap Plunger Style" which is designed specifically for moles. Good Luck!

The trap claws open to about 2 - 3 inches when set and fit snuggly in the mole's tunnel. I inserted the trap claws about 4 - 6 inches in the tunnel and cover the opening with left over soil. You may need to dig a little to open the tunnel to fit the claws in.

WE had a gopher in the yard about a year. Tried every thing to catch the critter. Took a chance and bought the Cinch Gopher Trap. It is about 12 inched long. Check the Cinch youtube video for the best instructions. We caught the gopher the first nite we used it. Good luck it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The traps are about 8-10 inches long and 2.5 inches or so in diameter. They work great for me!
