Tomcat Mole Trap

The Tomcat® Mole Trap offers a modern solution to an age-old problem of controlling moles. These pests can damage lawns and gardens by creating unsightly tunnels and mounds. It is designed to be safe, effective, and easy to use.

How to Set Up

The Tomcat Mole Trap is easy and clear to set up Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Find Active Mole Tunnels: Seek out new mole burrows in the lawn. They are little bumps of dirt that indicate where moles have just come through.
2. Prepare the Tunnel: Use slight compression to make an indentation in the tunnel. This will enable a secure sitting position of the trap.
3. Place the Trap: Hold the trap over the hole so that the jaws face the hole of the mole. Ensure that the trap is arranged in such a way that it will work when the mole passes through it.
4. Set the Trap: Place the foot on the yellow foot pedal to pull the trigger and set off the trap. After it is set, the trap stays put until it catches a mole.
5. Check for Capture: When a mole goes through the tunnel, the trap will activate. The foot pedal will come out to indicate the catching of a mole.
6. Release the Mole: If you want to free the mole you've caught, push the trap against a solid surface—like a heavy-duty garbage can—and the mole will be released.
