Not so easy to use.
By Rick in Roswell, GA on 09/15/2014
I have a thick fescue lawn in Georgia red clay. The 5 inch wide by 5 inch deep slits you have to dig MUST have a wide enough diameter for the jaws to move easily. No easy task in compacted wet clay. D…

Terrible ~ Do yourself a favor and don't buy these
By Kevin in Sumas, WA on 09/13/2020
The biggest problem with these traps is the inability to easily set them. Yes, using a shovel or similar device to cut groves in the grass across the tunnels is a great plan, but the problem is the ye…

This trap doesn't work. I wasted 30.00 bucks! Don't waste your money.
Disappointed
By G in savannah, ga on 04/24/2012
Put two traps over mole tunnel and left for 10 days. No luck yet. Plan to keep trying because nothing else seems to work.

I have had very little luck with this trap it trips when a mole activates it but the trap jaws are to wide apart to catch it. only caught one, many activates.
Been Using it two months , nothing yet
By James in Willard, MO on 02/12/2017
Trap is hard to set. Have moved it all around with different runs and haven't caught anything in two months!
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments. We agree that the Talpirid trap can take a lot of strength to set. If you are not using a shovel to make divots before placing the trap over your runways, then this can make setting the trap easier. You also want to be sure to test runs before setting your trap. You can use a dowel to make a hole or use your foot to gently depress a runway about 1 inch down, being careful not to completely collapse a runway. Check the damage 1-2 days later, and if it has been repaired, then the runway is active. If the damage is not repaired, then the runway is not active, and you should test somewhere else.

mole trap failure
By Randy in Carter Lake, Iowa on 07/19/2024
I followed the directions on the mole trap. It didn’t work. It wouldn’t stay set. I went on YouTube and watched the Talprid trap video. It’s still didn’t work. I sent the mole trap back.
One time use
By David in Texas on 06/30/2024
I used it one time and it did get mole but one of the blades broke. For the cost I wish it lasted longer.

Seems Easy o Use
By Russell in CENTER MORICHES on 08/16/2020
No problem, just step on the trap, set the lock and it's ready to go. Yeah sure, IF it was designed properly. What happened to engineers? It is almost impossible to set trap without it moving as yo…

Talpirid Mole Trap - Ridiculous
By Paul in New London, New Hampshire on 07/06/2018
This thing is ridiculously oversized and overbuilt for the size of moles. I don't consider myself weak and I am not afraid to say I could not load the trap because of the the excessive spring tension.…

Not worth it
By Brad in Salinas, California on 05/25/2018
This trap was clumsy and hard to use, never caught a single mole, although I followed the instructions carefully. It was expensive and at this point a useless item. Total waste of my money. I had to …
