Option 2: Less Humane, More Effective
Purchase mole traps online or at your local home center. Mole-weary homeowners report success with spring-loaded snares like Victor Easy Set Gopher Traps ( view on Amazon ). Place yours directly into the mole’s tunnel, being sure to choose an active tunnel. If you’re not sure of a given tunnel’s status, cover over the nearest molehill. Wait a day or two, and if the molehill has been uncovered, that’s a pretty clear indication of activity. Once you’ve set the mole trap, check it often. Also, remember that catching one mole doesn’t mean the problem’s behind you.
