Anyone who has ever struggled to set a mole trap will appreciate how effortless it is to activate the Victor Deadset Mole Trap. The trap boasts an ergonomically designed, easy grip handle and an oversized activator plate that can be pushed into the tunnel by hand or foot, making it the easiest-to-set trap on the market. It's also incredibly effective thanks to the precision-built trigger system, which is activated by the slightest movement. When underground movement is detected, the spears are thrust into the ground, quickly killing the mole. For your convenience, the trap comes fully assembled and ready-to-use. After identifying active tunnels, collapse a portion, then use the foot pegs to set the trap in place in the softened ground. Raise and lower the handle until the spears move freely in the ground. Then, with feet on the foot pegs, raise the handle to set the trap. You can have peace of mind in knowing that the trap’s spears are located below ground, away from children and pets.
