Is this trap good to catching voles or moles?

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

We wouldn't know as we've never been bothered with either. I don't think it's recommended for outside though, and I think that's where moles and voles live.

This trap will only catch 1 mouse or chipmunk at a time. If you have a mouse infestation, a water bucket trap may work better (although heartless).

I have not tried it on moles. I use it to keep cats out of my flower beds. Also works for blackbirds.

I catch a lot of packrats with this trap. No bait needed. Definitely too big for mice but it will (unfortunately) trap some rabbits and golden-mantled ground squirrels (chipmunk size).

Unfortunately we had a female field mouse that had pups in our house. I'd guess the pups are about 2-3 weeks old and are very small. You'll have no problems catching them with this trap! None have escaped mine yet. :)

Yes, I use them for voles in my yard and garden beds. I caught over 20 last year. I complement it with mouse baits in my ivy and edge of my yard that abuts some woods.

Sorry, I have no idea if mine were voles or moles. Either way, I did not have have any luck with these traps. I really had great success with: 6 Pack Revenge Mole Traps Package of 6 TrapsSold by PCSOUTDOORSJust my experience.

Hi? I have a mole trap and its built like a roman torture device. very heavy duty with long spikes. I believe that this is built this way due to its hard body and penetration. I have caught large gophers with the gopher kit. You may get lucky and hook into a mole. if you do? make sure to secure the trap with strong twine and a stake to keep him from takeing off with it. be carefull,protect your self and ware heavy duty gloves,sharp teeth. good luck.

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.

It is definitely for gophers as it is quite large. A mole would not typically be snapped in it.

Yes. The best trap I have ever gotten. Just have to be careful of spilling them.

If you mean moles I am not sure. Recently though I have had a problem with mice getting stuck in the door and I have to remove a dead squished mouse which the reason I got this trap was not to have to touch a dead mouse.

I bought two traps the fight my mole problem. They did not work. The moles dug around them. Suggest you try Bonide Moletox. Most moles die under ground, but occasionally the local wild life digs one up. They do not eat it. If you really want the traps, I'll give you mine.

Sorry did not use this for moles and voles - purchased to try to stop deer for eating plants but it didn't seem to help.

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

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.

Voles as I understand them are basically the size of a mouse. They are t0o small to trigger the trap. More importantly, they do not tunnel along the surface so this trap would not work for that reaon as well.
