Victor 0631 Out of Sight Mole Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hallelujah!!!The wicked mole is dead.

For 2 years I have hunted this critter.I have read the entire internet.2 years of research led me here.

For those of you with mole problems, let me save you some time.Forget everything you think you know.The only way to deal with moles is to kill them.The only way to kill them is to trap them.Baits don't work.Treating for grubs don't work.Moles primarily feed on worms, not grubs.Sonic vibration thingys don't work.These traps work.

BUT...

Don't follow the directions on the package.I will do my best to explain how to employ this product.

First of all, if you have to, stamp down all mole runs in your yard.Ordinarily, you don't want to do this, because it just encourages the mole to dig new runs, thus doing more damage.But you need a current picture of where the mole is active in your yard.

The next day after you have stamped down all the runs, observe any new runs.You are looking for long straight runs.Long straight runs are like mole highways.The curvy short runs are hunting roads.The curvy runs are less traveled.Hunt the highways.

Open the trap and set the safety catch.Set the trap down next to the run where you want to place it.Take your foot, and stamp down the mole run just where you want to place the trap.Should only be about your foot's width.Don't push down hard.You want the ground you stamp down to be level with the rest of the yard.

Now take a straight blade shovel and create a notch on either side where the trap blades will go.You don't have to go real deep.Just a couple inches.Wiggle the shovel if you have to, to create those "pockets" for the blades of the trap to go into.

Carefully place the trap into the notches or pockets you just created until the trigger of the trap is level to the ground.

Unhook the safety.

It took me 3 days to catch my mole once I set my trap this way.I moved it once after the first day because I wasn't happy about the run I had originally placed it. If you don't catch your mole after 3 days, then look for a better spot.

Warning!!If you go out to check your trap, bring a shovel and wear shoes.When I got mine, he wasn't dead.The trap had just got him in the back and he wasn't going anywhere, but he was alive.So when you pull up your trap, go slow and be gentle.You don't want to accidentally release him.Be ready to whack him with the shovel.

For 2 years this mole has terrorized my yard.I was at my wits end.My yard is destroyed.Let the healing begin thanks to this product.Now kill some moles!!

EDIT 3-24-09: I just wanted to give everyone an update.I got my third mole last night using these traps.Add that to the 3 my parents have killed, our family alone is responsible for killing at least a basketball team of moles.If anyone has any questions about how to kill moles, post or email me, and I am positive we can kill your mole too.

EDIT 3-16-10:I've been reading some other reviews here and I wanted to clear up some misconceptions and misunderstandings.

First, if it looks like the moles are going around your trap, the most likely cause is that the trap is set too deep.That ties to another reviewer who said they set the trap with the trigger at grass level.That would be too shallow.Before you set the trap, tamp down the run to GROUND level (not grass level).When you cut the notches for the trap blades, and place the trap in the ground, the trigger should lay even with the rest of the ground.

Second, while true that moles will eat grubs, their primary food source are worms.Worms are usually more plentiful, and they move through the ground, thus making them easier to find for a hungry mole.Grubs are more stationary.A mole will eat them, but it requires more luck to find them.

Third, if you don't get a mole in the first day, don't panic.Give it a few days. Remember, the best place to put the traps are in the long straight runs. Those are the mole highways.Just because it's a highway though, doesn't mean your mole will use that highway every day.Give it some time.It's not necessary to move your traps too often.Even if your mole seems to be active in another area of your yard, if you picked a good spot to place your trap, he will come back and use his highway again.

Fourth, moles are territorial.There may be some overlap, but it's minimal.HOWEVER, keep this in mind.Just like you, moles prefer to travel along pre-dug roads.You don't build a new road every time you want to go to the grocery store.Moles don't like to either.So, even if you kill your mole, it is VERY likely that another mole will move into your yard.Keep in mind also, that the runs you see at ground level, are only a fraction of the amount of tunnels that might be running through your yard.Moles don't hibernate.They follow the worms in the winter, and worms dig in deeper during the winter.For a mole to survive the winter, that mole has a whole labyrinth of tunnels deep under ground.Easy pickings for another mole looking to move into your yard.

EDIT 4-29-10:Taught my boss how to use these traps and he got his first mole this weekend.The moles in St. Louis are having a bad day!

EDIT 5-28-10:Got another one last night.I've had a mole kicking around the area for the last few months and just couldn't get a good run to trap.Finally, the idiot moved into another area of the yard, and to do that he had to make a couple long straight runs to get there.Well,that was his last mistake.I had the traps in the ground less than 12 hours.I woke up this morning to dead mole.There really is nothing better with your Corn Flakes than dead mole.

EDIT 7-22-10:So about a week after I killed my last mole in May I got another one destroying my yard.Took me 2 months, but that mole is now dead.What a wonderful thing heavy rain is.When it rains, it brings the worms up, and the moles are soon to follow.Right into the waiting arms of the sharp teeth of my mole trap.

EDIT 9-9-10:Pics are up!If anyone has any suggestions or questions about the pics, just leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

EDIT 9-10-10:Less than 12 hours later, I'm the proud parent of a dead mole.I kill more moles before 9am than most people do all day.

P3 International P7901 Mole Chaser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)after over a month of using the molechaser, I still have dirt piles popping up all over my yard.Some of these are only 6 feet away from where I placed the device.
I followed the instructions, shelled out money for 4 D-cell batteries, and still no luck.I think one of the neighborhood cats got to one of the moles -- my dog carried it to the back door like it was some sort of prize that she wanted to share with me.Alas, the dirt piles still dot the landscape of my mole infested lawn.
My advice would be to save your money and buy a couple gallons of milk instead -- to entice your neighborhood cats to patrol your lawn and garden.

Havahart 5250 Electronic Deer Repellent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a large mulch bed with plants and flowers two feet from the woods behind my house.I watched two bucks for about 30 minutes as they grazed in my neighbor's yard and slowly made their way to mine.Eventually Buck1 was three feet from one of the Havahart stakes but never turned from the woods towards the stake.I'm hoping this is because I failed to re-scent the stake after it rained the previous day.I second deer (Buck2) slowly made its way closer to the stake.He went straight for it and received a mild shock.His reaction was to turn and take two large steps away from the stake.He stared at the stake for about 30 seconds then continued to graze, but never came any closer than 10 feet away from the stake.Buck1 did not react when the Buck2 was shocked.In fact, within 2 minutes of Buck2 being shocked Buch1 touched the stake.Unfortunately, he was not shocked because it takes 15 minutes for the stakes to recharge.The deer remained in my yard and even came within a foot of a second Havahart stake, but never touched it.I'm going to do a better job of re-scenting after rainfall and see how it goes.

Havahart 5265 Spray Away Motion-Activated Water Repellent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have three motion detecting sprinklers, two made by Contech (ScareCrow) and one by Havahart. Both of them are excellent for repelling deer (two years of experience with high deer pressure) but the Contech ScareCrow is more dependable. Although the Scarecrow sprinkler is more expensive, it is worth the price. The Havahart does not come with a guarantee other than a 30 day return policy whereas the Contech ScareCrow sprinkler has a two year warranty and they stand behind it. I had one fail after 22 months of use and they replaced it promptly. Also the motion detecting range, sensitivity, and adjustment is more stable and dependable in the Contech ScareCrow. The only time I've not had the ScareCrow work was during a period of very high humidity during some rainy weather when it failed to go off during a period of less than a day. On the other hand the Havahart motion sprinker is much more erratic in its performance and sometimes fails to work for brief periods.

Spring Star Mosquito Repellant and Larva Killer 30 Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had a lot of rain in Wisconsin this year and we also live very near a lake. I put this down all over my yard last weekend and have only seen one small mosquito so far. It's been 2 days since the last rain so the next day or two we would normally be swarmed. We'll see how it goes. I subtracted one star only because directions say garlic smell will last about 30 minutes. We could smell strong garlic, even in the house for about 2 days. It's pretty much gone now though. This stuff also works great to repel vampires.

Rush Hampton 61001 Mosquito Catcher, Metal, Single Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading tons of reviews on various Mosquito trap technologies, I was skeptical that this one was any different.Since the price was only around $90 I figured it was the cheapest 'gamble' out there, so I bought it and put it in my backyard, which has been pretty much unusable since June due to the aggressive Mosquito population.

Sure enough, I have emptied hundreds of mosquitos out of the drawer in the 3 weeks I have had it installed.My highest total in a day was 50.My lowest total in a day was 3 when I decided to add an Octenol bait to this trap...which acted as a repellant as far as I can tell.This trap definitely works better in the dark when the little blue lights show up better.

There are still mosquitos in my backyard, and I still get bit.I think mosquito conditions are so bad that even after catching hundreds of them it hasn't had a significant positive effect yet.

One word of advice I would like to give...place this trap away from any area you want to use.I moved it from the yard to my deck for a brief time, and it was a bad idea.All the mosquitos from the yard were on my deck suddenly.Yikes!

We are nearing the end of Mosquito season in Atlanta as cool Fall temperatures arrive, so it will be hard to judge what effect removing a few hundred mosquitos will have.I am anxious to see how the Mosquito Catcher works next summer during the height of the Mosquito frenzy.

Anyway, if you've been wanting something to catch mosquitos with, but have been afraid of the prices, this is a product that can have positive results without breaking the bank.

MQ7 - 24 oz Insect Control Indoor/Outdoor / 2-pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)IT REALLY WORKS.SPRAYED IT ON MY FRONT PORCH AND BACK DOOR AND SURROUNDING AREAS IT REALLY CUT DOWN THE AMOUNT OF FLIES AND INSECTS. ITS A DETERRENT.THE BUGS DONT LIKE THE ODOR AND THEY KEEP AWAY. NICE TO HAVE FINALLY FOUND A PRODUCT THAT ISNT BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.PRICE IS GOOD TO.PURCHASE TWO ITS WELL WORTH IT.

Click Here to see more reviews about: MQ7 - 24 oz Insect Control Indoor/Outdoor / 2-pack

Product Description:
MQ7 offers an all natural, non-toxic Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control formulation that is safe enough to use around children and pets. Unlike other chemical based products containing Organophosphates, MQ7 can be applied as often as needed without the lingering ill effects of toxic residue. MQ7 is made from scientifically modified, highly concentrated cedar oil. Throughout history, cedar has been known to repel insects naturally and this is why today we are accustomed to the use of cedar products, such as closets, chests, and other cedar wood products. MQ7 will repel fleas, chiggers, mites, ants, mosquitoes, scorpions, grubs, flies, gnats, moths, no-see-ums, ticks, silverfish, carpet beetles, earwigs, crickets, spiders, firebrats, palmetto bugs and grasshoppers. For over 10 years, a team of scientists have contributed to the development of MQ7. We have identified the very few components within a specific cedar species that have the ultimate repellency property. We take those components and scientifically-modify the cedar oil to intensify these components to come up with our highly concentrated proprietary formulation of MQ7. MQ7 is a much safer alternative to other chemical based products containing Organophosphates. MQ7 works because of an insects' olfactory system's intense dislike for the smell of cedar. In our own test, we identified an ant hill with ants entering and exiting the ant hill. We sprayed the ant hill thoroughly with MQ7 Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control and walked away. We revisited the ant hill in 15-20 minutes and noticed no ant activity. All the ants vacated the ant hill.
