This heavy-duty, spring-action trap provides a reliable method for managing persistent mole tunnels, offering a reusable and weather-resistant solution for long-term garden maintenance.

Yes, the trap features a rust-resistant finish designed to withstand outdoor weather, including rain and soil moisture.

The Big Cheese Mole Claw Trap is specifically engineered for mole activity within subterranean tunnels.
The claws should be positioned so they straddle the tunnel run at the depth where the mole is actively traveling.
While not strictly required, wearing heavy-duty gardening gloves is recommended for safety and to keep your scent off the trap.
The trap may have been placed in an inactive tunnel or triggered by loose soil falling into the path; verify tunnel activity before resetting.
Clean away any dried mud or debris from the hinge points and ensure the mechanism is not obstructed by stones or roots.
Ensure the trigger plate is correctly seated and that the soil beneath the trap is firm enough to prevent the device from sinking.
Setting up the Mole Claw Trap involves clearing away any loose debris from the tunnel site and ensuring the soil is firm enough to support the trap's base. Always handle the trap with caution, as the spring mechanism is powerful. To maintain the device, simply clear off excess dirt and mud after each use to ensure the moving parts remain free of grit. Because of its rust-resistant finish, it can stay outdoors for extended periods, but periodic cleaning and inspection of the spring and trigger pins will prolong its lifespan. It is compatible with all standard soil types found in typical residential gardens.
