Check the trap frequently, at least every 24 hours, to see if it has been sprung. If it has been sprung, dig with your fingers or a trowel along the tines to see whether a mole has been trapped. Occasionally a trapped mole will still be alive and it will be necessary to dispatch it.

How many mole traps do I need?
Obviously it is difficult to advise on how many traps are needed without actually visiting a site, however as a rough guide we advise that a small garden will require 2 traps, a medium garden at least 4 traps and a larger site (field or pitch) 6 traps. If you think you need more than 6 please give us a call!
How deep are mole tunnels?
Deep tunnels are located at least 3 feet underground and are used to house the mole’s living, food storage, and latrine areas. On the surface, deep tunnels look like what most people think of as a molehill: a large mound of pushed-up soil and debris.
How long should you leave mole traps?
The process will take longer if the traps are not being set correctly, the mole is inactive, or an incorrect tunnel is being used. Having trapped moles with these traps since 1990, we usually expect to catch the mole within 3-5 days.
