Nash 100 Choker Loop Mole Trap

After spending countless dollars on 3 other styles of mole traps with mixed results, I finally tried the Nash choker loop trap in desperation and within the first 2 hours after arrival I bagged the mole that had evaded the other 3 types of traps. After studying the various styles of mole traps on the market and having experienced smart moles that simply bypassed or evaded the others, this Nash choker is so much simpler to set and is far more effective than any others. I highly recommend them because they work in shallow surface tunnels and the deep traveling tunnels equally well. Buy them, your moles will hate you for it!Updated Review after having caught over 90 moles in my yard over the last few years. After wasting alot of money on all types of mole traps on the market as well as trying poison worms, which are not cheap and also paying a lawn treatment company to try their hand at poising my moles, I have learned a great deal about what works and what doesn't. I have a somewhat diverse range of mole trap applications within my yard and no single style of trap excelled in every situation. After dispatching nearly 100 pesky moles over the last few years, I painstakenly honed my mole killing skills and learned that there are 3 kinds of traps that are needed to cover the entire gambit of mole trapping applications. The Nash choker is one of the 3 necessary mole traps needed to make sure you can catch any mole, anywhere, anytime in any yard. Given it's design, there are places such as under fence runs, where you just can't employ the Nash choker, even if you'd love to, but where the yard obstacles permit, you can't beat the Nash choker trap. The other go to mole trap is the Victor Out O sight trap, another mole killing necessity that has it's own unparalleled application success. Lastly, but equally effective, get at least 1 pair of Trapline brand mole traps that are not offered on Amazon. They are the opitime of minimal clearance mole traps that I have used to kill over 4 dozen moles that use the subway tunnels that run under the center of my cedar back yard fencing and no other style of trap will work in that application. If you have more than one mole in your yard and suffer from ongoing neighborhood mole migration, then spend a few minutes on YouTube and learn about the 3 brands of mole traps that I have mentioned and get a few of each of the 3 to end your mole problems for good.

Having 10 acres and over the years have had a number of times with problems with moles,I've tried other methods of ridding the property of them. nothing worked,or as well as these traps.This recent purchase was for my father and his neighbor (who for whatever reason did not want to borrow the Nash traps i already had.)Guess they wanted their own. My Dad and others I've lent mine to, were VERY pleased with them. I set one of the new traps for my 80+yr old Dad, in his neighbors yard for him(if it's the ONLY bad thing here , these traps can tend to be a little hard to set , for people like my Dad's 80yr's+ arthritic hands)I looked over the area to place a trap, picked what i thought was a recent tunnel run, and the next day I got a email from my Mom saying they got "the" mole(prob the only one, since their territory covers a area most would think is from more than one).My first experience here with my traps was probably 10 yrs ago ,was after i mowed and rolled(to locate/ID a recent-in use tunnel) my back lawn,I set the trap and covered it w/ a bucket(mindset being i did not want my small dogs checking out/tripping the trap, though I really can't see that any harm to them could occur).I took a quick shower to clean up after my mowing session and afterwards I looked out my back window and saw the bucket had been knocked over(thinking a false trip etc.) NOPE! as I pulled the trap out to reset it, I saw that the trap had already got a mole within that short time!(10-15 minutes)Don't waste money on poison/smoke bombs/underground repellers or any other type of trap for moles/voles, get a Nash Choker loop trap, read the instructions, practice setting the trap(be careful ,those traps are sprung very strongly!)pick a recent tunnel run and set it and you WILL get those lil critters making a mess out of your lawn in short order.As you can tell, I can't say enough about these traps, they work and work well!

The Nash choker mole trap is ridiculously impractical, difficult and dangerous to both set and use. First of all, if you don't spend $200 on their specialized proprietary tool to get these traps in the ground, you're going to burn a whole lot of your time setting these stupid things. You'll need to use a perfectly straight spade shovel, a regular curved blade shovel won't work because the loops will get hung up on the least little curvature of the slice you cut in the ground. You'll also have to space your slices with the spade EXACTLY to line up with the loops. If not you'll have to stand back up and cut another slice into the mole run to hopefully match that one up. You can expect to repeat this process three to four times. By this point you've done a significant amount of damage to the mole run and chances are high the mole will abandon this particular run and veer off at an angle once he senses the danger this damage represents. Moles are smart and they will hang a hard right angle turn the moment they sense too much damage to the run and just keep on going, avoiding the trap altogether. The spring is extremely powerful and unwieldy to set. God help you if you grab it the wrong way when you are setting it and it closes on a finger or two. It will break your fingers sure as sunrise. The trip pedal is on a hair trigger and will spring the trap if you so much as walk too close to it. I wasted nearly a half hour setting three of these traps and have no dead moles as of this morning. All three are getting returned. Do yourself a favor and just buy the scissor traps. They take ten seconds to set and you can achieve that by simply stepping on them. No risk of breaking your damn fingers, no frustration. I've caught several moles with the scissor traps with little to no hassle.
