World's Best Mole Traps

Moles turn a good lawn into a minefield in a matter of days. The World's Best Mole Trap handles them the direct way — no bait, no poison, no chemicals, and no waiting around to see if something worked.
It's the same proven design as our top-rated gopher trap, sized down to fit a mole tunnel properly (2" W × 1" H × 4.5" L). Stainless steel throughout, ready to set straight out of the box.
Why this mole trap works
- Built specifically for mole tunnels — the fit matters. A trap that's too large won't fit correctly, and a trap that won't fit won't catch.
- Stainless steel construction — no rust, no plastic parts, no replacing it next spring.
- Fits where bulkier traps can't — along a sidewalk or driveway edge or tight under a fence line. This is the trap we reach for in cramped spots.
- No bait or poison needed — nothing to mix, nothing to keep away from pets or livestock.
- Safe around kids and pets — all moving parts stay below ground.
- Approved control method for organic land — farms, ranches, orchards, vineyards, and nurseries.
Important: how many traps you actually need
This trips people up, so read this part carefully. Two traps make one complete set, they go into the tunnel facing opposite directions, because you don't know which way the mole is traveling.
- 6 traps = 3 complete sets
- 12 traps = 6 complete sets
If you have one active run in a small yard, six traps is a reasonable start. For larger properties or multiple active runs, go with twelve.
How this compares to the Mole Master
Straight answer, because you deserve one: for most open runs across a lawn, our Mole Master is the trap we reach for first, it only takes one trap per set instead of two, and it's more forgiving if your placement isn't perfect. Where this trap earns its keep is the tight, awkward spots the Mole Master physically won't fit, and in genuine stainless steel construction. Trappers who work at this regularly carry both.
Make sure you've got the right pest
These traps are designed for broadfooted moles or small pocket gophers. Mole and gopher damage look different — moles push up volcano-shaped mounds and raised surface ridges, while pocket gophers leave fan- or crescent-shaped mounds with a plugged hole off to one side. If you're not sure which you're dealing with, get in touch before you order. We'll help you identify it, and we'd rather point you to the right trap than sell you the wrong one.
