Tips For Having A Proper Mole Trap

By Coleen Torres


Cute animals are oftentimes domesticated these days. However, there are just those animals you should try to get rid of instead of domesticating. These are those animal species which are considered to be pests. On the other hand, there are animals that you must get rid of because they damage your well-made lawn.

If you are thinking of rats, then you are not far off. However, you should also pay attention to those animals that may not provide you with physical harm or diseases, they will just damage your lawn by digging up the grass and dirt. Such animals are the moles. For these animals, you have to prepare a mole trap for them.

It is important for you to exterminate the said animals before you overpopulate the area. When you leave them alone and they grow in numbers, they will just overrun the lawn and you will end up with a damaged landscape. If you do not want them running around, then call a professional for the extermination of the said animals.

You should know already that hiring professionals nowadays is quite expensive, no matter what kind of job you want them to do. In this case, you will end up looking for professionals with pricey service charge because you need to take into account their experience, moles infestation, lawn size, and other factors.

If you want to make use of another option instead of hiring professionals, then you might want to consider having the moles exterminated yourself. You simply have to work on trapping the said animals so that you can get rid of them immediately. When you know what traps to use and what tips to utilize, then this should be easy.

There are different kids of traps that you may set up to get rid of these animals. These are the common traps that are being used in lawn. You can either make these traps yourself or you can get this at the available store near you. Here are the three common types of traps you should get.

Spear traps. Normally, you get this set up on active surface tunnels. The tunnels just need to be squished down so that you can set up the said traps. Of course, you also have to position the trigger pan correctly on the ground. You have to place this against the ground so that it can be triggered by crawling moles.

Scissor traps. This is almost the same with the spear traps. You have to set the said item up on active surface tunnels too. Instead of the trigger pan, you will be having the scissor blades as an alternative. This is what will kill the rats when they trigger the traps. The blades will snap together immediately when triggered.

Paper clip traps. You should know that this is almost similar to the other traps. You will also have to use this in the tunnels. When you position them, you put them back to back, facing outward. When the animals crawl in, the traps' pins will slip immediately. The moles are then trapped and killed.
