Mole Trap Instructions-What You Need To Know

With the plethora of commercial traps available why would anyone even consider using mole trap instructions to build your own? Is this even something you can do on your own?

Many homeowners have moles and gophers that are constantly throwing dirt in mounds all over the yard or their property. Farmers and ranchers certainly don't enjoy dealing with the problem.

While moles have a right to exist they can be very destructive. Consider this....the average mole can tunnel at a rate of 1 foot per minute.During the average day, they will construct 100 yards of tunnels. Can you imagine the destruction involved?

That's why mole trap instructionscome in so handy. It takes a lot of traps to keep with them.

That's also why so many of the products out there to get rid of moles are ineffective. Pouring chemicals down a hole is like pouring money down the drain. By the time you get around to getting enough poison in their tunnels the critters have already moved on.

Another home remedy that many people try is using castor oil and dumping it in their burrows. Once again, this is silly because the moles aren't even there anymore.

The only thing that actually works is failproof mole traps. There are about 50 or 60 different models to pick from on the market. Some are effective. The others aren't.

The biggest problem with traps that you buy is the cost involved. You can imagine how expensive it gets when you are chasing moles all over the place with more traps.

Getting back to the poisons that are available what are some of the concerns with them? In many states the chemicals are banned. You can't even use them or buy them.

They are extremely hazardous to your health if you don't know what you are doing. Since your skin absorbs things so quickly even a little poison on your hands can quickly get into your bloodstream.

The manufacturers claim that the products are safe. Would you trust them? Not me...

When trying to get rid of these critters the only safe and inexpensive way to do is with organic gopher control (traps). It does take a lot of persistence but you can get rid of them over time.

Just remember that they reproduce very quickly (much like rats). The alternative is to wait around for them to completely destroy your property.
