If you have a coyote problem, use two and don't bother with the bucket.  One trap facing down to catch the mole, and one facing up to nab the coyote that comes by to eat the mole.  Chain it down though otherwise the coyote will probably run off with your trap.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I've got three of the 6-nail Victor mole traps out on tunnel paths, and although the things look like relics from the medieval Tortures-R-Us outlet, I havent caught a thing. I've given each setup for 2 days, then crushed all visible tunnels to see where the critter's moving -- and reset traps there. I've used the "poison peanuts" on 3-4 different tunnel sites.

Probably just  a carryover from my inability to hit targets in the MA.

It's been about a week of serious man-vs-rodent work, and I'm beginning to think about the plastic-explosive- shaped- to-look-like-a-squirrel approach...

I really want to kill this sucker before the fall slows him down -- last thing I want is a whole fmaily of  the varmints.





Heater, do you know where I could pick up one of the kits you illustrated?

Rip, I always stuff the crimped mole back into the hole and bury it.  Rumor has it no mole will ever pass through that neck of the woods again.

So far it seems to hold true.

Turned out we have 3 moles, which is my they're leaving such a trail of devastation. Above is the fruit of my second victory (Note that I have not yet painted the marking on the trap).

My mom's cat used to hunt them overnight. You'd get up in the moring to 15 dead moles on your porch. :rofl
