were surrounded by fields an if I didn't use traps we would have ruined veg plots every year
they can dig a row of seedlings out with no effort
have caught 3 so far this year
we use mole scissor traps
look for the mole hill and dig it out - you need to find 2 run holes - you need to clear those out and set the trap between the holes - then place some clumps of earth loosely back on top of trap the scissor prongs will be close together and when it trips they will spread apart
if it goes off with no catch always rest asap as it is active in that run
the mole catcher comes every March, always catches at least one and for £30
OMG last year I caught 7 that would earn me £210 - there so easy to catch using a scissor trap , think I might have a career change
