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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set a POlAFLEX scissor mole trap correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocate main tunnel: press soil and wait up to 24 hours for rebuilding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush down tunnel slightly before placement so the run is flush with the jaws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck trigger alignment; apply firm downward foot pressure to set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse flags to mark placements and gloves to reduce scent contamination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat soil and location conditions work best for these traps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese scissor traps perform best in moist, loose to moderately firm soils where tunnels remain open and accessible.
