It is heavy duty and I literally expect the construction to last through 20+ years of use. Very few products are built with this level of durability and reliability. It is also built for death..... of the moles in your yard. I have read a sampling of the very good and also the very bad reviews. Please allow me to share my personal experience with you. I live in Connecticut and have roughly 20K yards of well maintained lawn. My mole problem is usually just a nuisance but was very bad this year. I tried pesticide to eliminate a good chunk of their food source. Well, they also eat earth worms and I water my lawn so not so much luck their. I also tried a heavy castor oil application but that was a complete and total waste of time and money. At least the pesticide got rid of my bug problem. So I decided to go for the nuclear option and get into trapping (killing). As it has been described to me, trapping is the most effective but least applied option. This particular trap seemed to be the best reviewed so I went for it. As noted earlier, the trap is heavy duty and reasonably easy to set up and use. DO NOT TRIGGER THIS TRAP ABOVE GROUND. It closes very violently which provides a quick death for your mole but could easily crush your finger(s) and break bone(s). You can use a screwdriver to trip it will it is still in the ground and avoid this problem. Keep it away from any area where you think that curious children or people passing by (thieves) might pull it out of the ground. My trap tripped 3 times in two days without catching any moles. I eventually went back to the directions and noted that this trap works best in tunnels that are 4 1/2" are less in depth. You can check tunnel depth with a pencil or in my case the same screw driver that I use to trigger the trap. So... I started looking for active tunnels 3" or less. I have since caught two moles in about 3 days. Activity in my area has since dropped off to near zero. All it takes is 3-4 moles to destroy a lawn as large as mine so killing a mole is a major, major deal in terms of results. They are also very territorial so unless they are traversing back and forth to your neighbor's lawn then you have probably improved your situation dramatically. The other major tip is to make sure that your tunnels are ACTIVELY USED. Similar to the world's best fisherman fishing in a pond with no fish; you won't catch any fish (or moles) if they aren't there. I recommend that you flatten the tunnels with your feet or a roller and look in the next day or so to see which tunnels get "pushed back up". These are your target areas. You may also see areas 10-15' across that run all over the place in a seemingly circular area. This is where Mr. & Mrs. Mole hang out and make more moles. This is your best area to target as it should be most active. Good luck and happy hunting. P.S. After a few days of inactivity, I noticed another mole has moved into the area. Nailed him in less than 2 hours after placing the trap. Make sure that your tunnel is a shallow tunnel and this trap will kill your intruder. UPDATE (7/19/13): I have caught / trapped / killed 6 moles since purchasing this trap. For the most part, my lawn is hard and firm with no soft spots any more. I lend this trap to my neighbor now. For the most part, I don't need it any more. Let's pretend that these 6 moles would have cost me $100 apiece for a professional exterminator. I reckon that I have saved myself roughly $570 so far. (REMEMBER: This trap works best with shallow tunnels with floors that are 3-4" in depth from the surface." UPDATE (8/30/13): Nailed another one. UPDATE (7/11/14): Nailed three in the last month alone. It has been very dry and I water my lawn while the neighbors do not. I suspect that this causes the worms in my yard to come to the surface so all the neighborhood moles have been camping out. A friend borrowed this trap for about 6 weeks and could not catch a single one. I have been catching my latest three within 24-48 hours of setting the trap. I suspect that the key difference is that I set my trap in very shallow tunnels. Usually 2-3" deep have given me the most success. Most tunnels are 4+" so you will have to check around. I have nailed approximately 12 moles since purchasing this trap. THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT TRAP!!! UPDATE (9/24/14): Nailed another 3 moles for a total of 6 this season. I have noticed that acive tunnels in the 3" to 4" sweet spot tend to produce kills. Tunnels that are shallow in the 2" to 3" range seem to cause the mole to run into the trigger plate rather than pass under the trap itself. Make sure that you place the trap on a long "straight-a-way" as opposed to on or near a corner or curve. You need to ensure that you position the trap in such a way that they will cleanly pass UNDER the trigger plate. Review: The only good mole is a dead mole - this trap WORKS - instructions included - FINALLY - a mole trap that WORKS! First off I'm going to say that yes I had trouble at first catching moles with this trap - but I didn't give up - I just had to figure out what I was doing wrong. Once I figured it out it's been dead moles ever since. I've trapped 13 moles in the last two months out of my yard using this trap - I'm ecstatic because my yard was getting over-run with stupid moles. People say I'm crazy and to just leave the moles alone - this is nonsense - the only good mole is a dead mole! Let me tell you how to use this trap: 1. First off you have to know your enemy. Moles are stupid - they only know how to do a few things - Dig and/or repair tunnels and smell stuff - they have a REALLY good sense of smell! Also - they get flat out irate when you mess up their tunnels. When they smell/feel outside air coming into their little tunnel complex they will almost immediately go in search of where that air is coming from and fix the problem. Again - they are really good at fixing their tunnels - use this info to your advantage! 2. NEVER touch this trap with your bare hands! Remember how moles can smell really good? Well if they smell you (or any other weird smell) on this trap they will simply tunnel around it - which will infuriate you. What works for me is I leave the trap outside and only handle it with gloves on. Also - keep a large screwdriver or some other implement to dig with handy that is free of human scent. 3. Check the nuts on the side of the trap to make sure they are not too tight. Mine were way too tight and it took entirely too much force to spring the trap closed. I loosened the nuts probably close to a full turn if not more on both sides. After I did that it was a lot better. This trap is not supposed to have a "hair trigger" otherwise it would go off too easily. So don't wear yourself out trying to make it have a hair trigger. Setting the Trap: First off you need to roll your yard flat and wait a little while to see where the active moles are at. It won't take long - 24 hours max. When you find tunnels - look for nice straight(ish) tunnels - these are their "main corridors" you could say. Don't bother messing around with the tunnels that are going in all different directions or in circles- they may never return to these tunnels - again - only look for nice straight runs to set your trap. When you find a good place to set the trap do this exactly: 1. Firmly step on about a foot long section of the tunnel and smash it down flat 2. Push the trap into the ground on the spot you just smashed down. 3. Step on the trap to open the jaws apart. 4. While your foot is still on the trap - "rock" it back and forth real good to open up the earth so the jaws don't get bound up - you want the jaws to snap shut really fast. Also put your full weight on the trap to really push it down tight to the ground - you want the trigger pad firmly on top of the ground. 5. About a foot on both sides of the trap on a part of the tunnel that you have NOT smashed down - use the screwdriver to open up a good sized hole...big enough to stick a golf ball in - you want PLENTY of outside air to get into the tunnel! 6. Go get a beer and wait - sometimes within 30 mins you will see the trap spring. Then simply go look at the holes you made - one of them will be fixed - the other will not be. He's dead inside the trap on the side where it got fixed - and that's the last thing he ever did. Go throw him out and re-roll the yard and repeat until you are mole free. So far my record is 4 moles in 24 hours - 3 of those were inside of 3 hours of each other. Also - moles will come and take up residence where you've already killed several before so beware of that. Don't think that just cause you got one that you can ignore that area of your yard for awhile - another one will set up shop sometimes within days. It took me a long time to win back my yard. Follow these instructions and be vigilant and you will win the war. Update - August 2017 - Many many dead moles later the trap is still working great. I think I've decimated the entire mole population in this area. My neighbors don't have any moles now either. Thumbs up still! One word of advise..make sure that you push straight down on the trap when you push it into the ground. If you get it sideways at all it could bend things and then the trap won't work correctly so keep this in mind. ## Features - Use For Safe And Effective Mole Control. - Made Of Heavy Gauge Steel - Sets In Soft Soil, Sand, And Mulch - Takes the guesswork out of trapping and eliminating moles from your lawn, yard and garden - Eliminates the use poisons or chemicals and is effective on all species of moles worldwide - The only mole trapping device that can be set into the mole tunnel without any digging - Effective and safe to use - Accepted for use in organic farms, ranches and nurseries ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000SDKGC6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,871 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #468 in Pest Control Traps | | Brand | Wire Tek | | Brand Name | Wire Tek | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 8,721 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00633856010017 | | Included Components | Gardening^Pest Control^home-pest-control-traps | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6"L x 6"W x 12"H | | Item Type Name | Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | BFG Supply | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1001 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | HR1923-OSL | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 6"L x 6"W x 12"H | | Style | Trap | | Style Name | Trap | | Target Species | Mole | | UPC | 633856010017 759119442798 827165704969 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap (1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714cddDIYvL.jpg) ![Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap (1) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-k0WUzIOL.jpg) ![Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap (1) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pP9aEbEYL.jpg) ![Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap (1) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31dl0b+5lIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is there anyway to adjust the sensitivity of the trigger on these? the moles just dig under without setting it off** A: You need to be sure the BOTTOM of the mole's tunnel is less than about 4 1/2 inches. Otherwise the jaw will close and not get the little begger. You can do this with a small diameter piece of rod. You also need to find the "edges" of the tunnel to ensure you are placing the trap in the MIDDLE to the moles tunnel. You can use the same rod for this as well. Once you have determined where there at ACTIVE mole tunnels, you need to mash the tunnel down where you intend to place the trap. This ensures that the mole has to repair the tunnel, by raising the direct against the trigger (thus setting off the trap). You can test the sensitivity of the trap by setting it, pulling it out of the ground, place it on it's side, and then setting it off by using a twig or branch against the triggering plate. Mine is very sensitive. If yours is not sensitive, you can loosen the bolts a little bit. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE "JAWS". I captured my first mole within 24 hours of setting it. If you are not sure where the active mole tunnels are, mash them ALL down, and then see where the mole burrows the next day. Find the ACTIVE run, and then start at the top of my post and only mash down the width of your foot for an active run to place the trap. If you have not captured a mole within 24 hours, look for another active run. **Q: This thing actually works a little too well. Can anyone tell me of a trick or easy way to release it to dump all the bodies? Step on it again?** A: I pull the set trap out a little just to make sure there is a mole in it. Then I push it back into the ground and step on it. This releases the mole which I just leave buried in the ground. Then I take a stick and carefully push the trap out of the ground. Once clear, I tap the stick end against the trigger to release the trap. **Q: I'm a bit confused as to where I set them. Do I flatten the area where the dirt is being pushed up and put it in that hole?** A: Find a stretch of ground that is raised a bit from the rest. It should be soft when stepped on with your foot. This is one of their tunnels. Position the trap with the 2 spikes in this tunnel. The trap will be aligned so that you are stepping across the tunnel when setting it. Think of it as 2 pairs of scissors. The scissors will spread out across the tunnel when set so that the next time the mole run through the tunnel, it will either get grabbed by the first set of scissors or the second set of scissors.# = Grass####################O========||=========
