This is the best tunnel mole trap on the market in our view. It is made of stainless steel, will last for years and is made in England.
Unfortunately the tunnel trap has a poor reputation because most people buy cheaply made copies, and so have limited success with them.
Most professional mole catchers use this type, and also this particular brand. Ten years ago, before sending them out, we had to adjust and check every trap, and then leave them for 24 hours to make sure they didn’t creep off. But the manufacturers have constantly improved them (probably as a result of gentle nudges from us!), and they should now work “out of the box”. Moles do not bend the wires as they do on so many other brands, and these can be set time after time without having to be adjusted. It is the only tunnel mole trap we have found with these properties.
Our videos show you exactly how to arm the tunnel mole trap, how to find mole runs, and how to install them – as well as how to tune them so that they will work at their best. We don’t go out to set traps without a mole run probe either.
You can buy cheaper tunnel mole traps, and many will have weak springs, thin wire loops and poor design – good luck with them. We think responsible trappers should buy the best, and know how to set them properly. The permitted trapping of mammals in the UK is also governed by law.

Tricky one this, because “one mole make a lot o’ show”! And who are we to say?!
If you have a small garden, two. Larger gardens of over an acre it could be five – more than that needs more than that. For a paddock, start with five tunnel mole traps and buy more when you need them. Try to set two or three in a 30 foot diameter circle.
And if you’re in charge of an 18 hole golf course you might have thirty or more.
You’ll have to decide, but it is rare for a customer to order less than three ….
Feedback
As you may like to have some feedback, I am delighted to tell you that my first attempt to catch the mole busy burrowing through our lawn was successful. I set two traps, following your excellent instructions to the letter, and that was it. It may have been just beginners luck but at the moment I am pleased to say there are no more tell tale mounds so I will have to wait and see until the next time to see if I’ve got things right. I am sure those pesky critturs will be back later in the year.
Anyway thank you again for your first class recommended product and your excellent “down to earth” video instructions. They have already saved me Sixty pounds.
