How do I trap a mole in my yard?

Trapping a mole starts with locating active tunnels and setting a reliable trap, like the professional-grade Mole Reaper trap, directly into the mole’s path. Our kits include everything you need to get started.

How do I know if I have a mole problem?

Common signs include raised tunnels, soft spots in your yard, and dying grass or plants. Moles can do serious damage quickly, so early intervention is key.

What makes Mole Reaper traps different from other mole traps?

Mole Reaper traps are engineered for durability, reliability, and performance. Built to last and easy to set, they’re designed by professionals for consistent success in real-world conditions.

How long does it take to catch a mole?

Moles are active year-round, and a properly placed trap can catch one within 24–48 hours. Consistent monitoring and proper setup are key to fast results.

***PRICES IS PER ONE (1) REPLACEMENT DOG***

302 Stainless Spring wire Replacement dogs for the Mole Reaper traps. These are far stronger than the stock dogs and less susceptible to bending. Please watch the video in the photo gallery for installation instructions.

**PLEASE NOTE**
The dogs are manufactured with a very small burr on the very end of the dog. DO NOT file this burr off!! This is meant to catch the the pan just before firing. This is part of the design that allows the mole to get a little deeper into the trap before it fires. This helps get quicker, more humane kills and avoid digger catches.

Snagged a mole the first night!

The “Home Defense “ kit is a darn good deal, in my opinion. 5 traps, plus the setting tools, the garden knife, the bright orange stakes, and the cocktail spoon! 58 bucks. I was about to buy the Victor traps for twice the money., but fortunately I came across a forum and a few guys said these were their go to traps. Plus, what a catchy name!
Anyways it finally warmed up enough for me to set a few traps yesterday afternoon. I checked them this morning and 2 out of the three traps I set got sprung. One swing and a miss, and one big fat troublemaker mole. I’m pretty pleased.

Mole Reaper Magnum = Results!!!

I recently had the pleasure of using the Magnum Mole Reaper Install Fixture from Mole Reaper Traps, and it absolutely blew me away. The setup was extremely easy—thanks to the supplied rod, installing the trap was a total breeze. What really impressed me were the Magnum Spring Blocks; they significantly increase the trap’s closing power, ensuring a fast and humane result every time.

Mole Reaper Traps are engineered with both performance and efficiency in mind, and Tony Helbling has truly delivered with this tool. At Final Trace Wildlife Solutions LLC, these are the preferred traps used by our technicians—and for good reason. They work, plain and simple.

If you’re in the field or just want the best for your property, do yourself a favor and check out the Magnum fixture on their website. It’s a total game-changer.

Finally got around to trying my traps. Caught three moles in the first two days. I think they are going to work out really good. Also, the videos posted by Mole Reapers have been helpful.

Best traps

Best traps I’ve used by far. Lighter, easier to set and work better than the heavy traps I’ve used in the past.

I got into mole trapping and was struggling with a handful of other traps. I found the mole reapers and followed Tony’s instructions and everything just came together. Great traps. Great guy selling them!

Best Traps in the Game

Caught 2 moles the first night using these. If you have sandy soils, these are the way to go.

GREAT TRAP

These traps are the go to for my business.They are quality built. String but able to set by hand easily. Finish on them lasts well. There is a magnum spacer kit for these to make them even stronger for harder soils. I highly recommend the magnum kits . There are also trigger Pan stops to keep pan stationary and centered at all times. I highly recommend these traps and the magnum spacers and pan stops. Other thing I like is these traps nest well together so don’t take up a lot of room in the truck which is a must for me with the wildlife traps I also carry. I have some of about every trap made and If you are getting into trapping moles you can’t go wrong with these traps.
