Moles Click on image to enlarge Recommended Measures for Getting Rid of MolesThere are several methods of mole control on the market : baiting with mole bait, gassing, repellents and trapping with mole traps. With all the methods and particularly with trapping, patience and persistence are the key words. Trapping moles with mole traps is usually easiest during the spring and fall with mole activity is at a peak. Trapping in the spring can also eliminate the pregnant females, reducing population. Mole Presence :It is completely essential to locate the main mole runways or tunnels for successful trapping with mole traps or baiting with mole bait. To identify main runways look for runways which:
Detecting the Presence Of Moles
Mole Bait
Talparid mole bait's size, shape and feel
let moles consume the bait in the same manner as its primary food source, the
earthworm. Mole Traps
To use a mole trap, such as the Victor Out O Sight Mole Traps first flatten the tunnels by stepping on them or by using a lawn roller. This will allow you to tell which mole tunnels are being used, because new ones will appear the next day. Put the Victor mole traps on these new tunnels. Set the Victor mole traps and leave them, taking care not to trample or disturb any other portion of the runway system. Check the traps once or twice a day. If a trap fails to produce a mole within 4-5 days, move the Victor mole traps to another portion of the runway system or use another runway. To Place the Victor Mole Traps: Dig a hole down to main tunnel. Make certain that hole is no larger than the mole trap and that it is aligned with straight section of the mole tunnel. Build a mound in center of hole using loose soil. Place Victor mole traps in the hole, pushing down firmly until it rests on mound. Fill in mole tunnel entrances with soil. Release safety hook. Place a box or board over Victor mole traps to avoid danger to children and animals To Set the Victor Mole Traps:
Place setting levers on mole traps spring as shown .Carefully draw setting levers together. This will require some strength. When levers are fully compressed, place end of locking bar on trigger pan. Temporarily set the safety hook around top of other mole trap leg. Remove setting levers and place Victor mole traps in mole runway. Release safety hook only when mole trap is properly positioned. To reduce sensitivity and increase trigger tension, bend trigger pan slightly with pliers. Caution should be taken when setting Victor mole traps so that injury does not occur. Keep out of the reach of children. Gassers for Mole ControlAlthough the poisonous gases such as Giant Destroyer are generally less effective unless you can gas the major nests and/or repeated applications are made, some people have gotten good results with this type of product. Is is suggested that spraying or treating the mole's food source (insects and grubs) would eliminate the mole population, which had been true before products such as Ficam Granules and Oftanal had been on the market. There are currrently no insecticidal granular including Talstar and Delta guard that would penetrate deeply enough to be effective. Repellents There is a repellent on the market that offers short term results: Whole Control |
