Victor M9015 Easy-to-Set Deadset Mole Trap and Killer , Black

Having used conventional traps with varying success I purchased one of these traps. It was delivered, I set it up following the online advice from other users and the next morning the trap had gone off and I had caught the culprit.The trap is effective as you don’t have to disturb the mole’s run to set it up.

Received on Saturday, afternoon and within a few hours got my mole. Paid for itself very quickly!!!

I have been trying to get rid of this shovel foot for over a year. It has wrecked my lawn and I have tried all the various devices to try and catch it without any luck. This device nailed the little perisher within a week.It's easy to set and works a treat although it only works on surface runways. The main problem with the device is that the foot pegs are easily broken. If the device has triggered then my advice is to withdraw the trap from the ground and then dig down to see if you have speared a mole. If you try to dig the device out complete with mole you stand a very good chance of breaking off the foot pegs with your spade.

Well, as it says on the packet, it is easy to set but I think the mole would have to wallop it with a sledgehammer to set it off!Have had no luck - maybe it isn’t effective in soft ground?

It was returned.

Tried to set it but the mechanism wouldn't work. Even had an exterminator try it and he couldn't get it to arm it. I don't recommend this Victor M9015 Deadset Mole Trap, Black. If I could have left no star I would have.

Used it once went in just fine, moved it to another location in my yard and heard a crack sound as it was going in. Pulled it back up both legs cracked. If it wasn't for that it would probably get more stars, at first I thought it was pretty nice felt solid. Look for another option unless you are okay with the plastic legs failing and throwing away money.

I like that these are easier to use than there metal counter parts, but they are not as durable. The metal ones can be difficult to work with, but I have gotten quite good with them and prefer them over this version. I bought this one because they are easier to set, but the design decision to create the legs out of plastic was a poor decision. While the ability to step on the foot pegs and shove the trap deeper into the ground is nice compared to the metal ones, it has a chance to snap the plastic legs which is what happened to me. We have had a lack of rain were I live and the ground has been quite hard. Plastic legs do not go well into the hard dry ground. One of the legs has broken off with no good way to reattach it. I am still able to use the trap with one leg, but if the other pops off it will be useless.
