Customer Reviews for Talpirid Mole TRAP

More difficult and time consuming to set up than other "traps" but works better than the others. Well made, should last for years.

I've got a bad mole problem and saw this add for the Talpirid Mole trap. I watched the video a number of times and read the instructions repeatedly. I guess I got over confident in the traps ( ordered 4 of them) and have repeatedly found active runs but have never caught a single mole. In our heavy clay dirt it is very hard to get the trap set so it can go off. I have since then ordered some bait but haven't used it yet!

Haven't caught a thing! Lots of trails and moved it several times with no results.

The video makes it look easy to set. I had to move my spade back and forth some to have room for the bottom of the trap to move freely. The ground was hard since we are in a drought in Ohio. I had to set the trap by squeezing it together and then lay it in the ground. I made sure the mechanism could move freely underground. I set it in the morning and had a mole in it that evening.I was actully kind of amazed that is worked that good!!

Ordered Thurs, received Sat, set trap Sat night, Sun morning trap was sprung with a dead mole. Have tried many things, scented worms and chemicals to kill food supply to name a few, nothing worked. Was skeptical, now a believer. Easy to use (in sandy soil here in Fl). Stepping down the foot pedal requires a lot of weight as I am 250 lbs and basically stood on it to set it. Releasing the mole was easy per instructions. Great product!

I received the Talpirid Mole Trap and was immediately impressed by its size. It is big. Well, maybe the moles are really big, too. Anyway, following the directions, I located a likely well used tunnel and tried to set the trap. It is really hard to set it as described. And after being set, I'm not sure there is anything left of the tunnel. I takes a special shovel or spade to make the slots for the trap to work properly. Well, I set it and nothing happened. I moved it and went through all the work of setting it again, to no avail. The moles just laugh at you. Keep your money and get a cat or snake. You'll have better success.

I have tried other types of traps before to no avail. I never, ever caught anything with the other traps. I have use the Talpirid for six nights and have caught 4 moles. This is a great invention.

After doing a lot of researching on mole traps I decided to go with this one. I have already caught several.moles. This trap is very well made and easy to operate. Would highly recommend this one if your looking at purchasing a quality trap.

We have not had much of a chance to use these because of traveling, but know they work because we had borrowed one from a neighbor. They will be put to good use when we are over run with moles.

A little difficult to set, but works great. The only trap I've tried that really does the job.

Extremely easy set up, out of the box and set in seconds. Started catching moles the second night. Very well built. This product is worth every penny.

Before purchasing the Talpirid mole trap I watched the video that demonstrated how to set the trap. While the video is accurate, it takes a bit of "trial and error" until one is able to properly set the trap. Proper positioning is not as simple as the video would have you believe, but once that is mastered the darn thing works....and works well. I got no mole the first night due to improper psoitioning. However, the second night was a charm because I reset the trap properly.

I bought this trap and was skeptical, but it actually works. I have no experience setting any kind of traps, but this is pretty easy to work with. pretty cool trap, You don't have to set any bait and it is reusable. I Just set this thing on top of one of the holes in my yard and the next day it was set off and I got a dead mole.

First traps that has ever caught the little destructive critters. Was recommended by a friend. Thought he was over rating the traps, but I had to try something. Trapped 3 within first two days and have added 4 more since. Never have I caught a single one before. They are great. Waiting to see what the spring catch will be.

Wish I would have bought the trap before those worthless worms. The trap works. I have killed 3 moles in the first week. Still have some mole activity but I feel confident that we will get the last of the moles soon. Wish I had 2 traps!

I received the trap but haven't used it. The moles seem to heard that I got it and disappeared for the time being. It looks like it will work just fine when I do use it. I have used the other model that I borrowed from a friend with positive results.

Hard to understand at first but once I got the hang of it the trap did the job the second try. I do not think I had it set right the first time. Better than the bombs and castor oil spread. This really works!!!

Bought this mole trap about two months ago. Placed it in three different mole tunnel locations according to directions. No moles yet.

The trap is a quality product and has easy set up. The only issue I have so far is the mole has been smarter than me and the trap. I have no doubt he will soon make a mistake and success will be the outcome. Persistence is the key.

After months of having this brazen little f%&@#er terrorize our lawn... we finally got him with this trap!!! Doing the happy dance today. :) We tried several other methods but nothing worked. Bought this one week ago, set it and waited. Had a pleasant surprise this morning. Great product!

This product is one of our best purchases. We have spent hundreds of dollars over the last few years dealing with moles on our property. We even had professional pest control companies use bait and traps to no avail. Within 6 hours we caught our first mole and 12 hours later his friend! They are uncomplicated and easy to set.

I used this trap according to written instructions and have trapped many-many of these lawn destroying critters. This trap is the best on the market.

I have spent many hundreds of dollars trying to trap or poison moles and have never caught or killed a mole. (I have used numerous styles of traps, bates, poisons, castor oil pellets, insecticides, smoke bombs, etc.) This is the only trap that I've successfully caught moles with, ever!! This one is the best, because it really works. There is no better feeling than seeing that the trap is sprung, and finally pulling up a dead mole.

Got my first one this morning. The trap was in the ground for almost a week. As concerns of effectiveness began to grow sure enough the trap was up this morning and I had that little guy. Follow the instructions (be certain you open the ground with the spade. This will permit the trap to close more freely and quicker. This does work. Going after more of those little critters !!

I have had this for a month with no success. I know we have activity, but nothing yet. I will watch the how to video again. I also watched some You Tube videos. I will try again to see if I can upgrade my rating.

This is a pretty well built little item but if you do not pre-trench the location you can bend or snap the pincer bars.

We watched the video, read the instructions, baited the trap with a Talpirid Worm and caught a mole the first night! Can't wait to get home and set it up for tonight!
