POlAFLEX Mole Trap Scissor 2-Pack — Step-Set Spring Traps for Lawns, Reusable & Chemical-Free

POlAFLEX Mole Trap Scissor 2 Pack is a spring-loaded, step-set trap designed to catch moles quickly and without poisons, providing reliable control for lawns and gardens.

If mounds and runways are ruining your turf, these scissor-style traps offer a mechanical, reusable solution that rewards careful setup with fast results. The pair of traps uses a stepping action to spring closed when a mole passes through the active tunnel; they work best in moist, loose to moderately firm soils. The design avoids chemicals and baits, making it a safer option around children and pets when installed and monitored correctly.

How do these traps actually work in a mole runway?

The traps are positioned inside the main active tunnel so the animal triggers the spring by pushing through the trap’s trigger plate. Properly collapsing the tunnel and confirming activity before setting increases capture odds. With two traps included and marker flags, you can cover more than one entry point and easily relocate the devices.

• Step-set mechanism: press with foot to arm the jaws; spring closes on contact.
• Place in main tunnel: verify activity by flattening and checking for rebuild within 24 hours.
• Includes two brightly colored flags to mark set locations for quick checks.
• Best soil: moist, loose to moderately firm ground; loosen clay before setting.

What setup tips improve success and safety?

Taking a few extra minutes during setup pays off: push down a short section of the tunnel to create a consistent trigger location, ensure the trigger plate sits flat, and use gloves to reduce human scent transfer. If the soil is very compact, loosen the earth between the trap jaws so the mechanism can close freely. Check side nuts if the jaws seem stiff before setting.

• Use firm downward foot pressure to set; gloves recommended to mask scent.
• Loosen very hard or clay soils between jaws to allow clean closure.
• Confirm trigger plate is level with tunnel floor; tighten or loosen side nuts as needed.
• Mark each trap location with the included flag for safe, quick inspections.

How durable and humane is the POlAFLEX trap?

The traps are built from robust materials meant to withstand repeated use in outdoor conditions; routine maintenance is simple and includes wiping off dirt and ensuring springs remain free. As a mechanical control, they avoid poisons and repellents, reducing risk to non-target animals and family members when used responsibly.

When should I choose this over bait or repellents?

Choose these scissor traps if you prefer a non-chemical approach, need a reusable solution, or have children and pets on the property. They are especially effective when you can identify and monitor active tunnels. For extremely rocky or very compacted soils, consider loosening the setting area first or consult the included support service for alternatives.

• Ideal when you can confirm active tunnels and maintain trap locations.
• Not recommended in consistently frozen or highly stony ground without soil prep.
