Mole trap Metrodārzs Model 4750810110159 – mechanical ground mole control device

The Metrodārzs Model 4750810110159 mole trap is a mechanical ground-installed device designed for capturing moles in lawns, vegetable patches and ornamental beds. The reusable unit is intended to be placed directly in an active mole run where its trigger mechanism activates as the animal passes through. This trap provides a targeted, chemical-free approach to reducing tunnel formation and root damage while preserving soil structure and planting areas.

Advantages

The trap delivers selective, mechanical control of moles without the use of poisons or repellents. It is reusable and constructed to withstand outdoor conditions when installed correctly. Installation in an active run allows the mechanism to operate reliably, providing immediate capture when a mole triggers the device. The compact design minimizes disturbance to surrounding lawn or bed areas and enables precise placement where damage is most evident.

Suitable for

• Lawns and turf areas with visible molehills and tunnels
• Vegetable gardens where roots and seedlings need protection
• Ornamental beds and flower borders to prevent soil upheaval
• Small-scale domestic pest control where chemical methods are undesired

Key specifications

• Type: mechanical ground mole trap with trigger mechanism
• Installation: placed directly in active mole tunnels
• Reusability: designed for multiple uses when cleaned and maintained
• Operation: activates by animal movement through the tunnel opening
• Suitable surfaces: lawn, soil beds, vegetable plots

How to use

Locate an active mole run by identifying fresh soil mounds or an obvious surface tunnel. Expose a short section of the tunnel and position the trap so that the animal must pass through the device. Ensure the trigger mechanism is set according to the manufacturer's guidance and that the trap is level with the tunnel floor to avoid false triggers. After placement, lightly refill soil around the device to guide the mole through the opening without blocking it. Check the trap regularly; remove any captured animals and reset, clean and dry the unit before reusing.

Usage recommendations

Use the trap only in active runs and follow local wildlife and pest control regulations. Wear gloves when handling the device and any captured animals to reduce transfer of human scent and for hygiene. Store the trap in a dry location when not in use and inspect moving parts periodically to ensure reliable operation.
