Moles are mammals which lives underground by digging tunnels in making them their homes with their powerful and big limbs and paws. Their high tolerance for carbon dioxide helps them breathe underground because of their special hemoglobin which is linked closely with oxygen. They efficiently use oxygen also by reusing their exhaled air.

These animals have been considered agricultural pests though in various countries because their digging could cause damages greatly. That is why a mole trap is used by people for getting rid of these animals to protect the plants and machinery which might be destroyed by exposed stones. Different kinds of traps are there to control them are being used.

These animals would not spread diseases or physically harm people but garden or lawn could be damaged by their grubs and worm diet. They can destroy the landscape that significant of money have been spent on for beautifying your home like plants and flowers. Trapping them will mean their death though because non lethal ones are not invented yet.

The following are their various types beginning with spear traps that is set above their active tunnels through squishing it down. As the mole passes the trigger put against the dirt by, the squished area would be pushed up and as a result, activates the trigger. This would cause the slamming down of spears to impale the animal dead.

Scissor traps are also set above active tunnels and have scissor blades which are in the ground, with one on each side of their tunnel. When this gets triggered by the mole that crawls through it, the blades will snap together and kill the pest. This is a popular trap and has been used for decades due to the ease of setting it up.

Paper clip traps would be set inside tunnels with each one facing outwards to have them be triggered wherever the mole would be coming from. When the pest passes by, the pin holding this open will slip up and shuts down the crawler and kill it. But finding the correct tunnel is important for them to get effective because some are inactive.

These devices must have no scent to warn and alert these animals and the best choice for this are the new ones although older ones can work too. Thoroughly clean them then expose elements to them after and bury them for several days before you use them. Rub your hands with dirt before touching them to remove your scent and avoid it getting transferred on them.

The best area which you can set your devices up is at their center parlor that branches off to different tunnels. Follow the mounds which they left behind to find these parlors and a fresh one by smelling, looking and touching them. Mounds are where excavated dirt were dumped and as their main entrance and exit area.

Digging the mound would probably let you located their main tunnel when done carefully. Check them using long stick and this will help find the area with the least resistance. That place is great for you to set up your trap on.
