WCS NoMol Mole Trap 4-Pack — Underground Wire-Tong Spring Traps for Moles, Voles & Shrews, Rust-Resistant Reusable

The WCS NoMol 4-pack is a set of rust-resistant, reusable underground wire-tong spring traps designed to intercept and stop moles, voles, and shrews inside their tunnels without protruding above the lawn.

Designed for homeowners and landscapers who prefer a mechanical, non-chemical approach, the NoMol traps sit entirely within the tunnel so you can set them, cover with soil, and continue mowing. Each kit includes four traps and four wooden marking stakes so you can cover multiple runways at once. The traps use a stiff spring mechanism to deliver a quick, lethal strike when a tunnel-traveling pest triggers the jaws; detailed instructions and user tips help with reliable placement and retrieval.

How do I set the NoMol trap for consistent catches?

Locate an active runway by watching for fresh mounds or using a probe; then expose the tunnel and place a trap inside so its jaws face along the tunnel. Use two traps per tunnel (one facing each direction) for the best odds, cover gently with dirt, and check every 48–72 hours.

• Find fresh activity: fresh soil or raised ridges
• Dig a small access hole and insert trap aligned with tunnel
• Set traps in pairs, test trigger sensitivity with paper
• Mark locations with included wooden stakes for easy checks

Will these traps damage my lawn or interfere with mowing?

No — the NoMol design sits completely below the turf surface so there’s nothing sticking up to catch your mower. After setting, simply cover the opening with soil and grass; you can mow as usual while the traps wait inside the runway.

• Underground placement keeps lawn surface intact
• Cover trap with existing dirt and sod for a neat finish
• Rust-resistant coating resists weather during long waits
• Reusable construction meant for multiple seasons

What should I expect in terms of effectiveness and maintenance?

Success varies with persistence and correct placement; many users report repeated captures when traps are placed in active tunnels and checked regularly. The spring is strong, so handle with care and follow setup instructions; tying a retrieval line to the trap ring speeds removal and reset.

• Check traps every 2–3 days and reset if needed
• Use all four traps to cover intersecting runways quickly
• Adjust tunnel opening slightly if animals bypass the trap
• Clean and dry traps after use to prolong the rust-resistant finish

Are these traps safe around pets and children?

These are lethal mechanical traps and must be handled cautiously; keep them inaccessible to children and pets. Because they sit underground and are covered, the risk of accidental contact is lower than above-ground spike traps, but safe storage and responsible placement are essential.

• Keep unused traps locked away and out of reach
• Use the included stakes and a retrieval rope to avoid hands near the jaws
• Follow all printed safety instructions when arming and disarming
