Content: Press the trap into the ground. The trigger pan of the trap should rest just on top of the depression in the tunnel. Set the trap by following the instructions that come with the trap, then leave it. Set a scissors trap by first probing near molehills for deep tunnels with a long screwdriver or steel rod. You will hit a tunnel when your probe slides quickly down an inch or two. 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:
