I really don't have an answer for you. I have tried everything I know. I guess they are smarter than me!!

I haven't experienced that phenomenon yet with the moles, so I really don't have any recommendations based on actual use. They are especially bad after the snow melt, and I have used poison which seems to have some effect on activity around the holes.

I have been using the mole trap in the photo for years. My guess is that it is being put into the ground incorrectly or it is contaminated somehow and should been cleaned throughly. I have used a varity of traps and this one works best.

Park on top of them with the mower blade engaged for a few minutes, the noise will kill them. My zero turn is the only thing that works for me. Their hearing is so sensitive they can't handle the noise. Ride the hill down first . A friend of mine told me about it, and it works for me. The mole zap works, but you are not dealing with a mole, but a family of moles.

Think moles aer too small for this trap to be effective. It may work but I have not tried it as I use regular mouse traps for moles.

Find out where they are living and lay down a bunch of glue traps will help and that unit you bought is bogus , just caught a couple mice on glue traps, gets them everytime .

I too have voles. I've had two of these installed for the last three months. The results are zero. In fact the voles/moles have burrowed right up to one of them and within 3 feet of the other. The batteries are still good. Just listen for the tone every minute or so. I didn't buy them at amazon, so can't review them in the review section. They don't work for me.

However difficult it was to use and in spite of the poor performance, it was apparently intended for use against gophers, according to the descriptions and the user documentation that came with the product. I have not attempted to use it against moles, however it would seem inappropriate for use against moles due to the basic construction and layout. A portion of the trap must remain above ground, whereas the better mole traps are all sub-surface.

1) First, based on my experience, I recommend that you NOT buy this device at all. The one I bought refused to trip at all. The moles just went under it at will. It required much too much force to trip the trap. I got the similar designed Around the Home Easy Mole Trap and it immediately worked great. So if you want something like this, I suggest the latter (which is also less expensive).2) I used these in sandy soil and have had excellent results with the Around the Home Easy Mole Trap.Eric

Either the trap is dirty or the batteries are dead or dying (or not properly inserted). Try cleaning according to the owner's manual and/or changing batteries. Good luck.

I bought 5 and all were perfect. I would suggest to take the batteries out and reinstall and see if that fixes it. If not contact Victor. Sorry I couldn't help more. We put 5 traps on 3 floors and took care of all the mice in 24 hours.

I have not tried it on moles. I use it to keep cats out of my flower beds. Also works for blackbirds.

The spikes don't work. After having them in the ground for over a month, not only did the mole activity continue, it actually increased. We found tunnels and mounds literally just feet away from the spikes. Don't waste your money on the spikes they don't work. The only way we got rid of the moles was with traps...(unfortunately after we wasted our money on half a dozen of these spikes)

Voles are smaller than gophers so the larger traps are to big. You may want to go with the idea that MS had and get the 6 pack mole traps.

I have had mole and vole problems for years. I am pretty good at trapping moles . Never figured anything out about voles. I don't believe the vinegar would get rid of moles and the only thing that keeps moles in your yard or field are the grubs and bugs. In order to get rid of those you would be defeating the purpose of trying to use the vinegar for killing weeds without chemicals. Trap those puppies.

This doesn't have any way of baiting the trap - it works by getting the mole/gopher to run into the trap when it's placed in their tunnel. A rat out in the open probably wouldn't enter this trap.

I've had no experience with either. I don't think shrews make long underground tunnels and thus these probably wouldn't do the job - just a guess. I think gophers are vegetarians and are much bigger than moles, so again I'm guessing these wouldn't work because they probably wouldn't eat them and also the dose would be too small if they did.

Put out product to kill the grub worms. once moles are gone you can put out product around the periphery of yard (I have a large yard) several times a year and that keeps them out
