- TROUBLESHOOTING - Having trouble setting your traps? It is most likely due to hard soil conditions such as Clay which make setting your traps difficult or ineffective when soil is not prepared properly beforehand. See Troubleshooting in User Manual

From CASEY:
FINALLY - a mole trap that WORKS! First off I'm going to say that yes I had trouble at first catching moles with this trap - but I didn't give up - I just had to figure out what I was doing wrong. Once I figured it out it's been dead moles ever since. I've trapped 13 moles in the last two months out of my yard using this trap - I'm ecstatic because my yard was getting over-run with stupid moles. People say I'm crazy and to just leave the moles alone - this is nonsense - the only good mole is a dead mole! Let me tell you how to use this trap:
1. First off you have to know your enemy. Moles are stupid - they only know how to do a few things - Dig and/or repair tunnels and smell stuff - they have a REALLY good sense of smell! Also - they get flat out irate when you mess up their tunnels. When they smell/feel outside air coming into their little tunnel complex they will almost immediately go in search of where that air is coming from and fix the problem. Again - they are really good at fixing their tunnels - use this info to your advantage!
2. NEVER touch this trap with your bare hands! Remember how moles can smell really good? Well if they smell you (or any other weird smell) on this trap they will simply tunnel around it - which will infuriate you. What works for me is I leave the trap outside and only handle it with gloves on. Also - keep a large screwdriver or some other implement to dig with handy that is free of human scent.
3. Check the nuts on the side of the trap to make sure they are not too tight. Mine were way too tight and it took entirely too much force to spring the trap closed. I loosened the nuts probably close to a full turn if not more on both sides. After I did that it was a lot better. This trap is not supposed to have a "hair trigger" otherwise it would go off too easily. So don't wear yourself out trying to make it have a hair trigger.
Setting the Trap:
First off you need to roll your yard flat and wait a little while to see where the active moles are at. It won't take long - 24 hours max.
When you find tunnels - look for nice straight(ish) tunnels - these are their "main corridors" you could say. Don't bother messing around with the tunnels that are going in all different directions or in circles- they may never return to these tunnels - again - only look for nice straight runs to set your trap.
When you find a good place to set the trap do this exactly: 1. Firmly step on about a foot long section of the tunnel and smash it down flat 2. Push the trap into the ground on the spot you just smashed down. 3. Step on the trap to open the jaws apart. 4. While your foot is still on the trap - "rock" it back and forth real good to open up the earth so the jaws don't get bound up - you want the jaws to snap shut really fast. Also put your full weight on the trap to really push it down tight to the ground - you want the trigger pad firmly on top of the ground. 5. About a foot on both sides of the trap on a part of the tunnel that you have NOT smashed down - use the screwdriver to open up a good sized hole...big enough to stick a golf ball in - you want PLENTY of outside air to get into the tunnel! 6. Go get a beer and wait - sometimes within 30 mins you will see the trap spring. Then simply go look at the holes you made - one of them will be fixed - the other will not be. He's dead inside the trap on the side where it got fixed - and that's the last thing he ever did. Go throw him out and re-roll the yard and repeat until you are mole free.
So far my record is 4 moles in 24 hours - 3 of those were inside of 3 hours of each other.
Also - moles will come and take up residence where you've already killed several before so beware of that. Don't think that just cause you got one that you can ignore that area of your yard for awhile - another one will set up shop sometimes within days. It took me a long time to win back my yard. Follow these instructions and be vigilant and you will win the war.
Update - August 2017 - Many many dead moles later the trap is still working great. I think I've decimated the entire mole population in this area. My neighbors don't have any moles now either. Thumbs up still! One word of advise..make sure that you push straight down on the trap when you push it into the ground. If you get it sideways at all it could bend things and then the trap won't work correctly so keep this in mind.
