At times I have cleaned the mound away down to the grass level and probed to find the hole and clean it out. Once you find the direction of the tunnel you can set it. Many times the air flow and light entering the run will be plugged by the mole with dirt if it is still frequenting that tunnel area. I use primarily Albano type mole traps for basically all mole work now. They work well in this set up. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

I use a screw driver that has been cut off blunt and welded a collar on the tip so the rest of the shaft does not drag when probing. Some of the mounds are as large in circumference as a 5 gal. bucket. I just made a much longer probe just for these type of mounds. They are deep. To Old U.S. Army 60-63 SGT.
