Tricks On How To Trap A Mole

By Ruth Barnes


Moles are known to feed on insects and grubs that damage plants as well as lawns. However, in as much as they are helpful to the gardener they cause more harm. They destroy lawns and flower beds, chew up roots and stems and create a whole havoc on a garden. Their burrowing is usually excessive as they do not dig one burrow but several due to the soil cover up in their tunnels. This comprehension expounds more on how to trap a mole.

These rodents are known to munch up the stem and roots in search of food. They feed on worms, grubs and other insects. Henceforth, the outcome of chewing the stem and roots will result into the plant dying as the roots are base to a plant. The mouldwarp will also dig up the lawn thus leaving it untidy and unappealing to the home owner as well as his guests.

One the most commonly used method is the spear set-up method. These set-ups are put on top of an active burrow with the activated pan beside the soil. This spear set-up has metallic legs that straddle the burrow, where one stand is corresponding with the set-up so that the whole trap can be placed beside the top surface that is flat.

The other type of set-up is placed inside the burrow unlike the spear set-up. The gardener digs a deep burrow and places the body clamp set-up underground. These set-ups are effective as they have pins that slam the animal making it die quickly. When the animal creeps inside the tunnel it hits the pin allowing the pin to slip-up and bang it immediately.

In this account it is important to note that there were traditional methods used that eventually failed or were considered ineffective with time. These traditional methods included using alluring and vibrational devices to frighten the animals. Some electronic devices were also set up but these animals got used to these devices and in due course became inept.

Mouldwarps are said to be loners. Consequently, these animals are known to seclude themselves and can survive by alone. They bury themselves underground and hardly ever come to the surface thus, trapping them might be challenging. Experts say that even for moles trapped together the probability of them having lived together is very low as they are only united because of food.

Experts recommend that before commencing a control mechanism for these animals, it is important to be precise that the animals are troublesome and destructors. This is because in as much as these animals are a nuisance they play an important role in handling the soils by eating up insects and other termites that invade the soil and plants.

The aforementioned set-up works well because it is put completely underground therefore, other animals cannot be hurt in the process. Just like the scissors type of set-up it is made up of durable metals that will last even with moisture in the soil.
