Well, I didn't catch any moles with these. My old mole trap had broken after two years, and I tried to save some money and bought these instead. At first I thought they would be easier to set, but you really need a third hand to set these. And about 1/3 of the time I would forget to release the safety, so of course I didn't catch anything those times. Finally, I went back and got a replacement for my original trap,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tomcat-Mole-Trap/dp/B0043FHXVM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tomcat Mole Trap</a>. It takes a bit of effort to step on it and set it, but I caught two moles within two days of receiving the trap.
