Content: These are good places to lay your trap. It’s always best to locate active tunnels before setting any traps. Setting a trap in an inactive tunnel is just a waste of time, and you may accidentally catch other wildlife in the process. Live Trapping
Live trapping is pretty simple and straightforward. Keep in mind that the population density of moles is usually no more than three per acre, so you’ll probably only need to trap one to get rid of the problem. The biggest issue you’ll have is finding a place to release the mole once you’ve caught it. You may want to drive around the area to find a suitable place where the mole won’t bother other people. To set a live trap, you can try placing a deep bucket underneath an active tunnel. Here’s how: Locate the tunnel
Dig a hole (at the tunnel) that’s deep enough to place set a 2-5-gallon bucket
Pack dirt around – but not inside – the bucket
Cover the hole with plywood or sod
If set properly, the mole will move through the tunnel and fall into the bucket.
