How To Choose The Best Mole Trap

How To Choose The Best Mole Trap

By Amanda Baird


Moles can often make a garden look unsightly with molehills and can cause a lot of damage. Therefore you need some way to properly get rid of them and deter any future pest invasions. This is why it helps to choose the best mole trap to suit your needs.

Before you purchase an item to keep out pests you need to think what is appropriate for your needs. There are different types available and what you choose depends on what you want to do with the pests after you have trapped them and what is most suitable for your outdoor environment. You also need to ensure that you have the right one for the size of the pest.

In a lot of cases you may not immediately get results. This is not because a product is ineffective. The reason for this is that often you need to get the trap set up in the outdoor environment so it becomes more set in and freed of the scent of the human setting up. The mole knows to avoid this!

There are various types available each designed with different outdoor environments and customer needs in mind. For example the scissor type uses a spring to launch onto the mole. While it is a lethal method the advantage of this is that is quick and therefore relatively humane compared to other methods such as pesticides.

One of the strongest models available is the talpex. It is one of the sturdiest options and is generally considered the most humane option compared to the half barrel or pincher. However they are harder to set and are not suitable for harder conditions. This option may be better if you are using the services of an exterminator or have some professional help.

The easiest type to set is the scissor variety so called because of the scissor style action that catches the animal with some models on a chain to allow for additional effectiveness. If you choose this option it is vital you pick one with a strong spring as cheaper models will use less effective springs that will result in fewer trapped animals. This will help to ensure that the kill is as humane as possible while at the same time being as efficient and effective as possible.

What you need to remember is that there is not one perfect option. What you choose will depend on the weather conditions and whether or not you want to kill the pests. Ideally you need to talk with someone who is an experienced exterminator or has supplied exterminators for a number of years in order to get the best advice on what is most appropriate for your particular outdoor environment.

Careful comparison is the best method to find the best mole trap. Check a number of review sites and get as many recommendations as possible. This will allow you to find the ideal one to suit your personal requirements and outdoor environment.
