Do these traps work on Moles?

Absolutely. You must dig a tightly fitting pit for the trap down to the floor of their tunnel leaving both ends unobstructed. If you dig the pit too wide they will simply dig through the loose earth and go around it. Make sure you leave the way through the trap as the path of least resistance. I usually put a brick or some other weight on top to weigh the trap down while being very careful not to inhibit the traps mechanism when tripped. Do what you can to block as much light as possible without snagging the trap's arms. I use pieces of black garbage bag plastic pegged to the ground with whatever I have around at the time (rocks, big nails, staples cut from coat hanger wire, small "Y" shaped trigs, etc..) The trap also works for chipmunks (2 so far) or anything else that runs through tunnels in the ground or holes in the wall. Good hunting.

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.

I have caught a mole - but only if they happen to stray in! Moles do not have set patterns like gophers - but it can happen.

They do not work on moles, as the moles do not seem to have the same compulsion to seal their tunnels.

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.

C60-3 Mole traps are bigger. I use this item for larger critters and I am happy with the results

I haven't had them over the winter yet. I live in Nebraska and the mole activity is non existant in the winter here, so will probably remove mine in early November. They are working real well for us. Thanks

I would suggest going to the Talprid website and contacting the mfg. It worked well on my moles. I also used a device called a MoleMover that uses two C batteries and gives off a noise (underground) that simulates another mole/gopher that seems to have helped rid the yard of the critters.

Yes but the only way it is effective against moles is if you stand over the hole and wait for the mole to appear then whack it with the mole chaser.

This doesn't have any way of baiting the trap - it works by getting the mole/gopher to run into the trap when it's placed in their tunnel. A rat out in the open probably wouldn't enter this trap.

I know they kill moles, instantly. With the two jaws, it gets them coming and going. Best trap ever.

These are horrible for the moles and gophers so I doubt they will work for your rodent. Look for the ones I used a couple years ago, though I don't remember the brand. They are not as big, but vibrate the ground. This item stinks.

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.

NO! They work great. Batteries last about a month. Moles last about 3 days and then go somewhere else. Be prepared to head them off to get them out of your yard. It is like playing battleship.

If you catch the varmint, then tie him down to the ground, then run over him with the tow-behind... yes, it will kill moles and gophers. But I don't recommend it for that purpose. lol

It worked for rabbits. I don't know about moles or voles. I would think it would work for voles, but not moles. However, I have switched to fencing as a simpler method to save the plants from the rabbits.

Based on what I know about voles, the Mole trap is definitely the most appropriate size, however, I did a quick search and some recommend mouse traps. I have never experinced the challenge of voles so this recommendation is based strictly on size. The Cinch mole trap opens to about 2" which sounds about right for vole runs. However, I don't know how this trap will work with voles - these work for gophers because they have a strong desire to close tunnels once you open them and insert the trap.

I do not know about moles ~ you could try ... moles are smaller than gophers ... but it has done fantastic job on gophers ...

Look up "Grandpa's Ultimate Survival Guide". He uses Victor mole traps. If you can't find this site, then let me know and I'll try and send it to you by email.
