How to Catch Moles using Barrel Mole Traps

How to catch moles if they are causing a problem in your garden or lawn.
With moles being active all year, new runs and molehills literally pop up overnight.
This short video shows you how to find a suitable run and how to place the barrel trap with maximum effect. Even if you have never trapped moles before watching this should give enough guidance even for beginners.
These types of traps are widely available on the internet for a couple of pounds each, I recommend you buy 3 or 4 they should last for many years, but make sure you mark the position really well as the temptation is to use sticks or think you will remember where they went, most traps get lost not broken.
I checked the traps the following day and remove any dead moles. Continue to set the traps until no moles are being caught and no new hills appear.
