Essentials To Set Up The Best Mole Trap

By Marissa Velazquez


It is a farmer's nightmare if he manages to spot a pest in his farm. It is a creature that can spoil his crops. Not just that, any nature enthusiast who is in love with his plants would like to keep moles out of his garden. People set up the best mole trap that they can to catch it and get rid of it in no time.

As the moles generally eat earthworms and other small organisms that are mostly found in the soil, it is not difficult for them to make their way to the farms and reach the grains. They can cause harm to the plants by loosening the soil around the roots, consuming the roots. The saliva of the mole contains certain toxins that can also damage the quality of the soil, leading to poor harvest at the end of the season.

It is also observed that the moles are found in maximum quantity during the months of March and April. Their breeding season is such, the female mole gives birth to about three to five baby moles in the months of February to March each year. They then spread out after a span of 35-40 days to make their own territories and live a solitary life until they need to mate.

So, if you need to control the pests in the farm or garden and protect them from the different types of moles that can attack them it is important to set up traps that will catch them while they are in action. Before setting up the trap it is important that the person follows certain rules that will help him in the making of an effective trap. Keep in mind that you should not touch the traps with bare hands, rub them in soil before touching them.

It is not essential to wear rubber gloves and other things, but rub your hands with soil before touching the animal so that it cannot sense the human touch to it. It is also essential to make sure that the trap is buried in the soil one week before catching the mole and the soil is not disturbed after.

Before the traps are used, it is essential to lubricate them. Most people often forget that the oil that is being used has to be odourless and the trap should be kept away from buildings that have a lot of oil storage. It repeals the moles.

While finally setting it up, it is important to find the mole run. A mole run is the route that the mole takes regularly to trick worms into getting into its saliva and freezing so that it can eat them later. Once, that is done, bury your trap underneath the soil without disturbing the soil as much as possible.

There are many ways to make the trap. The procedure for making the best mole trap designs are available in the internet and other books. You can also buy one from the market and use it whenever you think that the moles are ruining your plants.
