Gets the dirty job done in clay soils
Good mole trap. I already owned several mole traps for years, one of this jaws type (same model) and a couple other of the pitchfork type. The jaws type, like this one, has caught many more moles than the pitchfork type has in my yard, primarily because my soil has a lot of clay in it, and when it's dry, the soil gets hard and the pitchfork type of trap is then unable to penetrate it fully to spear the mole (the trap springs, but the pitchfork end doesn't penetrate the hard ground more than an inch, so the mole gets away.) The pitchfork type only seems to work when the soil is very moist, or loamy (which mine definitely isn't). On the other hand, this jaws type of trap works in those dry conditions with harder clay soils, because you only need to open and close the jaws fully while the trap is inserted into the ground, and that creates a sort of loose path in the soil right where the jaws would move while snapping shut. Because I've found this jaws style trap to be much more effective in harder clay soils like mine, I bought a couple more recently when the mole population exploded this spring, as they were tearing up the lawns very quickly and I wanted to put an end to that asap. The traps are solid, very strong metal, very durable, no plastic whatsoever. They come painted black, which I found can be a little hard to see when the grass is tall or there is little sunlight, so I spray painted the above-ground portion of my traps white. That helps prevent people from not seeing them and tripping over them, or worse, running the lawnmower over them.
