Wanqueen Scissor Mole Traps 2-Pack — Galvanized Steel Outdoor Mole, Vole & Gopher Control, Weatherproof Durable

These two scissor traps from Wanqueen combine a simple stepping-set mechanism with weatherproof galvanized steel so you can place them outdoors without constant maintenance. They are mechanical, chemical-free tools intended for repeated use and work underground in burrow entrances and runways. The pack includes two identical traps suitable for multiple placements across a yard or field.

How do these scissor mole traps work and how do you set them?

The traps operate with a spring-loaded scissor action triggered by pressure or movement within a tunnel. Setting requires minimal digging to expose a run, inserting the trap into the burrow, and using a foot press or setting tool to cock the mechanism.

• Locate an active runway or burrow opening before placement.
• Expose a short section of tunnel to fit the trap body horizontally.
• Use a steady foot press on the trigger bar to set the scissor mechanism safely.
• Cover lightly with soil or a small chunk of turf to conceal the trap.

What materials and durability features do these traps offer?

Wanqueen traps are made from galvanized steel that resists rust and holds up to outdoor conditions, including damp soil and rain. The construction is intended for repeated use; springs and pivots are robust to maintain reliable performance through many cycles.

• Galvanized steel frame for corrosion resistance.
• Heavy-duty springs and pivot points for reliable action.
• Simple mechanical parts enable easy cleaning and reuse.
• Compact size fits most mole, vole and gopher runways.

Where should I place these traps to get the best results?

Place traps in active tunnels that show fresh soil mounds, collapsed runways, or regularly used surface openings. Position the scissor action so the animal will naturally pass through the trigger area; multiple traps spaced across a problem area increase coverage.

• Inspect the lawn or garden for fresh mounding and visible runways.
• Set traps at narrow tunnel sections or near the edges of mounds.
• Use several traps spaced along a feeding corridor for larger infestations.
• Check traps daily and reset or relocate as needed based on activity.

Are these traps safe to use around pets, children and in organic gardens?

These are non-chemical mechanical traps, so they don’t introduce poisons into the environment. However, they are spring-activated devices and should be installed where pets, children and non-target wildlife cannot easily reach them.

• Keep traps covered and out of high-traffic family or pet areas.
• Follow local regulations and best practices for wildlife control.
• Check and clear traps frequently to avoid unintended captures.
• Suitable for organic sites when correctly placed and monitored.

Who is this for: The Wanqueen 2 Pack Scissor Mole Traps suit homeowners, gardeners, landscapers and small-scale farmers who prefer a reusable, chemical-free approach to managing burrowing pests. They are best for people comfortable handling mechanical devices, willing to monitor placements, and looking for durable galvanized-steel traps to protect lawns, nursery beds and pasture edges.
