Content: Dig a hole the same size as the trap where the probe indicated the presence of a tunnel. Insert a packed lump of soil into the tunnel, set the trap according to instructions, and lower the trap into the hole. Ensure that both pairs of jaws are inside of the tunnel, one pair on each side of the lump of soil. Release the safety catch and fill in the hole. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/df\/Kill-a-Mole-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Kill-a-Mole-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/df\/Kill-a-Mole-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/aid1354602-v4-728px-Kill-a-Mole-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Check the trap. Once you've set your trap, you'll need to check it every day to see if you have caught a mole. If you do not find a mole in 4 to 5 days, you might have set the trap in a tunnel that is no longer in use. You'll need to move the trap to a different location. Continue checking the trap and moving it if necessary until you've caught a mole.
