Talpirie Mole trap
By Lee on 09/17/2013
D.M.O.P.C. send these reviews out too early - three weeks. It takes months to trap. So take my preliminary review with a grain of salt. Thus far, I've had two hits with these traps. The first killed the mole, the second trap was sprung, but missed the mole. These traps are easy to place, push down to load the spring activated jaws, but tricky to get the sear to set and hold. One distinct advantage: the polymer material will not corrode, rust or bend like metal traps. Also, the sprung traps are easy to spot from a distance.

Check your soil type
By Greg on 08/01/2011
The trap is very well made. Its easy to load. But - if you have clay soil it doesnt work very well. Even working a shovel in to give the blades a travel path doesnt seem to work very well. If you get rain and then high temps like we have in the summer it doesnt work well due to the hard soil. Its well made and very easy to load so if you have loose soil I would buy it.

No Hit's Yet!
By Arnie on 10/04/2015
Trying to rid my yard of at least 2 maybe 3 moles. Sandy soil is not conducive to this style trap, whereas it rides up and can't do it's job the way the trap was intended to work. Maybe, an area which has more firm soil or clay would work for this trap. Haven't given up just yet, coming up with ideas to stake it down.

Mole Trap

Received Trap
By Bill on 10/28/2013
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.

Very hard to set
By Susan on 07/06/2017
This might be great for some people but we have not been able to set it without great difficulty! By the time we finally get it set, the run has been completely destroyed and we have yet to catch a single mole. It is not nearly as easy as the illustration or video implies. I feel it probably works but there is more to setting it than appears.
