I'd like to try these style trap but the directions just don't cut it. You can't see the mole tunnel when they are 'placing' it in, looks like a bit of loose dry dirt they are filming in. Using your foot for a 1 inch indentation then a shovel to make a bigger hole over a non existent tunnel in the pile of dry dirt is a terrible demonstration. Are they really this difficult to use?
We are sorry that you are having trouble understanding the Talpirid Mole Trap. Anytime you are trapping, you just want to be sure first that you are placing the traps in active runways. Once you have determined where you need to place the traps, then you are making space for the jaws of the trap to go into the run itself, and then the divots on the side are to secure the trap in place in the ground. So the shovel is used along the sides of the runway to secure the trap in the ground. This is a very strong trap which does require quite a bit of force to set, even with your foot, so you may want to consider using Talpirid Mole Bait as an alternative or additional treatment. Let us know if you have other questions or concerns anytime.
