These are the most effective mole and gopher traps on the market today. I have over forty acres to maintain. This property used to have more craters than the face of the moon. Thanks to Trapline, it has been made virtually pest free.

I ordered a dozen mole traps which arrived in about 10 days (I’m in Canada). I considered that to be really impressive as it was spring time which I’m sure is a very busy time for pest control folks. They are the best quality and most clever (effective) design I have seen (and I’ve tried a few different traps). These will likely be the last traps I ever buy as they are indestructible and will last forever! Well done designing a truly better trap!

Update 8/12/24 - one hour after setting my new scissor style trap I caught a mole. Trapline Cons: 1) This trap is unidirectional, meaning the trap will only kill a rodent in one direction. To kill a rodent in either direction you must plant a second trap in the opposing direction of the first. 2) There is no above ground visual indicator to alert you that the trap has gone off. You have to dig it up to check. 3) You have to dig up your yard to set this trap. 4) Safety, setting this trap requires your fingers to be very close to the jaws that pierce the rodent. IMO, the scissor style that you step on to arm addresses all the short falls of the Trapline trap. Also, the Trapline jack costs the same the scissor style trap. Scissor style pros: 1) Trap is bidirectional, meaning the trap will be triggered regardless of the direction the rodent is burrowing. 2) Scissor style trap gives you an above ground visual indicator that it has been triggered. 3) Scissor style trap pierces the soil so no need to dig up a big sod plug. 4) You activate the scissor style trap with your foot away from the potential pinching/piercing hazard.

Used these traps when worked on a market farm, now I use them in my backyard. Great traps, much better than anything ACE or Homedepot sells. Well made stainless steel won't rust, like some of the knockoffs which are made with galvanized steel (which will rust and then not close properly.) I'd buy some 1/16" steel cable (2'-3' per trap) & ferrules from ACE or HD and attach them to the traps and a wooden stake. Then sraypaint the stake a bright color so you can see it in the field.

Gopher traps are very sensitive. I started a wildlife control service a few years ago. Trapline gopher traps do the job. Much cheaply then cinch and work just as well. I don’t have to dig out a massive hole to set them and they fit in gopher tunnels perfectly. I catch juvenile gophers in the trapline mole traps. Make sure you steak them to the ground because foxes and other critters will run off with the trap and gopher!

Products are decent, support doesn't exist. I've spent hundreds of dollars on traps and tools with Trapline and they won't return my e mails about getting tips on using them!

I own and operate a 4 man Gopher control company in Southern California. I utilize trapline traps solely. They are the most well made and quality trap made hands down.
