POlAFLEX Mole Trap Scissor 2-Pack — Step-Set Metal Mole Traps for Lawns, Non-Toxic

POlAFLEX Mole Trap Scissor 2 Pack is a mechanical step-set scissor trap designed to catch moles quickly and safely without poisons, ideal for lawns and garden tunnels.

If mole activity is leaving tunnels, ridges, or damaged turf across your yard, these scissor-style traps offer a targeted, chemical-free way to reduce populations. The pair of traps uses a foot-activated step-set mechanism and sharp scissor jaws to intercept moles in their active runways. Built from durable metal and supplied with two locating flags, the set is intended for use in moist to moderately firm soil and includes free pest-consulting support plus a three-year warranty.

How do I set a POlAFLEX scissor mole trap correctly?

Setting the trap takes a few careful steps to align the jaws with an active tunnel and ensure the trigger sits flat. Confirm tunnel activity by pressing the soil and checking for rebuild within 24 hours, then press down and position the trap so its jaws straddle the runway. Use firm downward pressure with your foot to engage the step-set—wear gloves to avoid human scent transfer.

• Locate main tunnel: press soil and wait up to 24 hours for rebuilding.
• Push down tunnel slightly before placement so the run is flush with the jaws.
• Check trigger alignment; apply firm downward foot pressure to set.
• Use flags to mark placements and gloves to reduce scent contamination.

What soil and location conditions work best for these traps?

These scissor traps perform best in moist, loose to moderately firm soils where tunnels remain open and accessible. In hard or compacted clay soils, loosen the soil between the jaws first or gently spade the runway to allow the trap to sit flush. Avoid using them in flooded or permanently waterlogged tunnels where the mechanism could corrode or fail to operate.

• Optimal: moist, loose to moderately firm soil.
• Hard/clay soil: loosen runway before setting and check side nuts.
• Not suited for saturated, flooded tunnels.
• Place in main active tunnels for best catch rates.

Are POlAFLEX traps safe around families and pets?

The traps are a non-toxic alternative to chemical baits and powders, reducing poisoning risk for children and pets. However, the jaws are sharp and operable once set, so always mark trap locations with the included flags and use caution when pets or kids play nearby. The manufacturer recommends wearing gloves during setup to protect your hands and limit scent transfer.

• No poisons or toxic baits included—mechanical capture only.
• Include flags to visibly mark set traps for safety.
• Use gloves when handling and setting the device.
• Supervise children and pets around set trap areas.
