- How to kill moles. If you're watching, then you know how frustrating it can be to have moles ruin your yard. I started using this method about 6 years ago after trying spike traps, poison worms, and other methods with very little success. If you want to get rid of the moles in your lawn, then you need an effective method that gives you proof of dead moles. The scissor trap is the most effective mole removal method available today. So simple that anyone can use it.

To get rid of moles in your lawn, you need to do two things. Start with a scissor trap and then find an active travel run. A travel run is one that generally travels in a straight(ish) line going from point A to point B. This is not going to be a cluster of tunnels with mounds in it. Those are foraging locations and they aren't likely to return to the same exact spot. The travel corridors can be flattened out by foot and then checked on for return activity.
In this video, the travel run had been flattened out by my garden tractor tires less than an hour earlier. The mole had already traveled through again. This is a perfect location to place a mole trap. Flatten it out again and set your trap.

took ur advice and yep it worked liked u said. caught 3 real fast and it like fishing really, set the trap and watch for mole to bite. thanks
I've got these and I agree with you, they work great but I do have a hard time releasing the dead mole out of it, so I just leave it in the hole, set the trap again to release and then pull the trap out....in other words the mole has dug his own grave. But I really liked your info on where to set the trap, that was very helpful.
VERY GOOD method! Will see if my dog digs it up.
thank you sir! the mrs here. my husband got 2 of these a few yrs back at an online auction. everything in the cabinet we got for $3! i guess we really scored. they use these with great success at the golf course where i mow, but i never knew how to set them myself. this was an excellent how-to video! thanks again.
Got this trap after watching your video yesterday, 1 mole down the very next day. Highly recommend
This is the fun way of getting rid of them. Plus, its awesome to look out and see the trap activated. Watching again here in Michigan and good Mole hunting big guy....
you will burn in hell
That's looks like a pretty effective method. We also have voles here in upstate New York and this should work on them too. I believe the voles will follow the same tunnels that are made by moles. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, probably so.
I need a video on how to get the mole out of the trap.
Great video, I'm going to give it a try. Nice yard BTW!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to order a couple. I have many many many mole paths in my lawn.
Good luck!
I use spike traps and got 6 moles last year. But I will try your trap and see if it works better. I don't miss very often with the spike but I have before. My moles were so bad when I got home last spring I watered the lawn good and run the cultipacker on it to flatten it out.
I am just now seeing your video and the comments are hysterically hilarious. Excellent presentation. My first nuisance experience with moles as I comment. UGH!!! Will definitely try the trap. Have tried every home remedy known to man and every Lowe's product on the shelf for over 3 weeks now with no success and a third of my lawn eaten alive. Wish me luck with the traps!
Thank you for the instruction! I was doing it wrong
My Grandfather had a similar one he used. They work great.
Agreed!

Got 2 and they ain't no joke. Thanks👍
Awesome, glad to hear it!
I got two of the most destructive moles in my front yard, but there are still 2-3 operating in my backyard. The tunnels in my yard are a lot deeper than the ones in your yard, so I can’t tell where the longer runs are. I’m keeping at it though!
Go get um!
I have already exterminated 2 this week with my new scissor traps. Stopped the 1st one in its tracks within a couple hours! Then we had to wait a couple days for rain then foot traffic to the nearby parade to both stop. Put out another last night & had taken out another one by morning. Yay, finally!!!!!! (insert maniacal laugh). Update: 24 hrs later, & we've already caught another. I didn't think our yard was big enough for so many. I think there may still be one more. Watching for the next run to pop up. $20 from Tractor Supply.
As of the end of September we've caught/eliminated 11, & this yard is TINY.
I was setting my scissor trap where a molehill was with no success, but unlike your yard the tunnels are not obvious from above ground. My topsoul is quite hard. So I dug out a mole hill to find the tunnel opening and then set the trap there.
any tips for gophers??? i have had those creeps dig up the solar powered noise thumpers/
I've had great success with cinch traps for gophers, placed in the holes. Since we have dogs, I just put a bucket over the top of the trap, and within a day or two have one less gopher. (I use them in active pile/holes.)
Tunnels are not visible, what do I do? Thanks
My moles don’t make a straight path. They are burrowing in circles around my new landscaping. Two summers and I have yet to kill one. So frustrating. I am using the same trap as you.
No, they never make a perfectly straight path. Tamp everything down, keep an eye on the area, and see if any of the same tunnels reemerge.
This might be a stupid question, but I'm a new homeowner. How do you dispose of the moles once you've caught and killed it? I just ordered a trap. There is a mole or moles in my front lawn tearing it up and has been all summer. At my wits end.
Put it in a bag and throw it in the outside garbage:)
Tamp down the active trail. Soak with hose. Watch mole start to move use pitchfork agressive 3-4 strokes. Done
First year it caught 5 moles!!!! Second year a big fat zero, it doesn"t seem to be triggering? I think my trap is defective.
What is the best way to open up the scissors to remove the trapped mole?
Hold the flat ring and the top of each scissor and pull slightly apart.
@@GoodWorksTractors I have the Easy Mole Trap and I don't see flat rings at the top of each scissor. I found where I'm supposed to hold the frame and push the lever against my body. It seems they could design it so it didn't require bringing a dead animal so close to a person and putting that much energy to open it up.
I just got one from Tractor Supply Store, $30,set it and the next day it had killed the vermin.
Interesting. I know I have moles in my yard but they don't make tunnels like that. If you have a good trap for the dam chipmunks, those are the dudes that dig holes everywhere in my yard.
I bought two online. Set them up following the directions, but they false trigger within 5 to 40 minutes. Keep moving them to adjacent locations, but they both continue to misfire - I have caught nothing with 14 different locations. I am still having fresh mole trails developing. Why doesn't this trap work???
They do work. Loosen the soil where the tines go into the ground. Make sure you flatten the ground too. I've used them for years. Read the other comments below. Sounds like operator error, so make some adjustments. Good luck!
What about if I can’t see a clear trail?
I've had the same situation at my new property this year. I had huge mounds all over my backyard...50+, but no tunnels. I kept looking and looking around the edges of my yard that went into the woods. Eventually I found one tunnel. Set the trap, caught it a few hours later. All the mounds disappeared. Couldn't believe it. Found one more tunnel a month later and caught another. No more issues for now. One or two moles were completely destroying my backyard. There will be a tunnel that pops up somewhere, gotta keep searching.
You only need to smash down the tunnel that is under the trigger- not 10 feet around the trap! LOL!
Good advice here.. is all someone told me. Only thing I'd add is if you don't catch one in 24 hrs to move it. I've gotten four or five.. a few within 15-30 minutes by a fresh mound. Toughest have been recently with big piles of dirt, but no trails between them... be patient and eventually you'll get it.. been working to get this last one for 3-4 weeks.. short (1 to 2 ft) trails around the mound, but I think he'd move to a different area by the time I placed the trap.
A little bit of clickbait after googling how to open these.. I can do it but a lady friend isn't as strong in hands.. one said hold the activator against your body and pull it back.. will see if that works.
What’s the best way to get the mole out of the trap lol
I love the traps and have caught 2 in the past week...but getting the dead one out of the trap is not easy
I bite the head off in celebration but that’s just me!!
Use a long screwdriver to pry the trap slightly open:)
I'm using it but nothing
Yeah the trap works great if it will set, but most of the time one side goes down further than the other and the trigger will not set then as it is cockeyed and too far off center. the ground here is fairly soft as well. I am forced to resort to my shotgun. (just kidding)

🏆🎉🥇
got a couple of these bad-boys and after a couple days, nothing.
Patience my friend. Flatten the tunnels and see what runs pop back up. Move around as necessary.
@@GoodWorksTractors I notice the tunnels are a bit deeper. I used a hand trowel to carefully expose and excavate around the tunnels to get the scissors in just the right spot; hopefully I’ll have something soon!
@@GoodWorksTractors just got my second mole! The key for me was finding the depth of the tunnels, digging out the mound to be able to place the trap deep enough, and building up the dirt perpendicular to the tunnels to get a good location for the traps pressure plate.
My dog has killed 4 in the last week
Bill Murray had a good way in Caddy Shack. Blow those mofos to kingdom come.
😂
Annnnnnddddd the 8MileLake traps are already gone from amazon like they never existed
They are popular...I'll update with some links of similar product still in stock
Mole was definitely still alive lol
thats a gopher not a mole
Then stuff it right back in its trail to warn all the others!!!
😂I swear that one time there was a dead mole lying on the grass right next to the trap. Just the sight of it scared him to death.
Thank you for this idea of what to do with your prize.
Nope I'll keep moles around. They eat Japanese beetle larvae.
Just a question: why are you all so concerned about the aesthetics of your manicured lawns that you're willing to kill countless moles that are just doing their thing and trying to survive?
Seems insane that you're putting your own superficial desires over the very exisrance of a creature that has more right to exist in that environment. I don't understand.
