Set my first traps today

[big napper 3,614]

Set my first mole traps today, set 30 putange's and hopefully get a result, forgot to take pics of garden but 2 days ago the owner cut the grass and flattened the hills, when i went this morning there was about 10 new hills so set the traps near them, some had 4 tunnels some 3 but most had 2, set some running against a wall and near some trees and around a big concrete pad,

Used nylon string to tie on triggers but ordered some wire ties, also got some claw traps from owner, (are they any good, do you lads use them, cheers), 

Would yous have set the 4 like that or used a different trap, cheers for any replys.

Yes mate there was a few near the wall where i put some traps, only a few hills around walls and pad but loads elsewhere, so would the best places to set them be around the edges of the garden not so much the centre, cheers pal
