Basic Notes Concerning Mole Trapping PA

By Sharon Olson


Moles are destructive animals which give home owners a lot of stress since they damage their lawns. Before you actually start this process of mole trapping PA you firstly need to understand some characteristics of these animals. These animals usually dig tunnels just below the turf while they are searching for grubs as worms which are their basic food.

These animals have a tubular shape of body which has a short velvety hair. They have ears and eyes which are almost invisible. The activities of these animals around your lawn depend on variety of factors. Season of year together with the availability of food usually determines when these kind of animals show up.

Using mole traps to get rid of these animals is basically one of the best ways of containing these animals and minimizing their behaviors of damaging your lawn. Most of individuals use the harmful chemicals, poisonous baits and copious water amounts which is flushed in their tunnels to exterminate these destructive animals. These methods may seem like best in controlling these animals but the truth is mole trap is the most effective method of controlling these animals.

When this type of an animal walks toward the trap it will actually push this trap which will open instantly and then the pan is triggered. This actually causes the spear to actually slam downwards therefore impaling the animal and afterward killing it.

One can employ the live trapping technique in which a bucket is set under the tunnel which is active. To effectively set up this live trap an individual needs to dig a hole in the active tunnel which would accommodate either two or more gallon buckets just below the tunnel level.

One can actually use the live catching method whereby you set a bucket deep under the tunnel which is basically an active one. To set up this kind of trap you are required to dig a hole in the tunnel and then set either two or three gallons inside, below the dug tunnel. You are then supposed to pack the dirt around that gallon which you have already set and then use either plywood or sod to cover that hole.

In most cases this is not the most effective method but the one which is viewed as the most effective and tested method is by the use of either spring loaded trap or even utilizing the choker trap which is active once pushed by the mole. When using this spring trap you basically need to flatten the part of the tunnel which is slightly bigger than the trap base and then set you trap over it.

Whether you want to set the spring loaded trap or the live trap, firstly you need to know which of the tunnels are active. You need to actually step on those tunnels so that you can probably locate either one or more spots to collapse them, after which you need to actually check on those spots on the following day. If you find that the same tunnel has been dug once again then this would imply that the tunnel is an active one and now you can set your trap on such a tunnel.
