Hi Shotty Sid,

 

Your traps are probably being filled because the moles sense there is something different or threatening in their run. You need to make sure the trap , what ever type you are using is set in the mole run correctly, that it is covered sufficiently to exclude any air currents, noise, light etc, that you have not let any dirt go down the run when you have opened it up and that you have smoothed out the run before setting the trap. Some moles seem to be more sensitive than others and sometimes even if you set the trap very carefully it will still get filled. In cases like that it sometimes works to try a different type of trap. Hope this helps

 

All the best
