Mole Hunting, August 1, 2004 page 8 / 19
Remove the trap. Pat down any loose soil so that the hole floor is at the same level as the tunnel, then build a wall across the mole's path using some of the soil from the bucket. You may have to add a bit of water if your soil is particularly dry. The wall should be about 1-1/2 inches high and should fit under the trap's trigger when it is placed in the hole.
