Content: You should also loosely cover the tunnel back up with dirt, so the mole will continue to dig through the loose dirt, and get captured by the trap. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg\/aid1353532-v4-728px-Catch-Moles-Step-9.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>"}

Set a trap. There are many kinds of mole catching traps out there. Most of the traps vary in the way they capture the mole, but nearly all are lethal. There are scissor jaw traps, harpoon traps, and choker loop traps just to name a few. Read the trap instructions very carefully to figure out the best way to set the device. Change the settings on your chosen trap to make the trigger apparatus really sensitive. Once you know how to open and set the trap, place the trap into the cut out section of tunnel. For a scissor trap, place the jaws around loosely packed dirt in the middle of the tunnel.
