I'm a 58 year old divorced woman (the ONLY "bad" thing about the divorce was that I no longer have my "mole killer" LOL!). I have 2+ acres of woods/bog with only about ½ acre of lawn/gardens (surrounded on three sides by said wood/bog). So yeah... Moles I got. In SPADES. Last year, I spent over $600 for a professional to come out and rid my yard of the moles. Yes, he caught 6, but it turned out to be $100 per mole!!! I wasn't going to spend that kind of money this year if I could help it... My ex left me the scissor traps but I can't get them to set right. Maybe he has them too sensitive, maybe I'm senile; but I fight with them for over ½ hour and just give up eventually. They either won't "catch" (set), or set and then spring the moment I try to flip the safety off. So, giving up on the "scissor type", I bought 2 traps on Amazon. This one (Victor Plunger style), and the Nash Choker Loop. Took the Choker Loop out of the box, read the instructions and thought it too confusing, and it required me to use brute strength (which I no longer have at my age). Figured I'd go find a video on how to set it and maybe that would help. I put it back in the box... Took the Plunger one out of the box, read the instructions, and had it set within MINUTES! No "strength" required, no worry about fingers getting chopped off, and it's easy to understand (pretty much just from the pictures). About 2 hours later, I had to go into the garage and went through the yard, just to "see" if maybe the trap was sprung (thought "no way" it would be, but didn't hurt to look). Hmmmmmmm... It appears sprung (WHERE'S THE SHOVEL???). Pulled the trap out of the ground, turned the run with the shovel, and O! M! G! I caught my first mole!!!!! YIPPPPPEEEEEE!!!! I did the "dead mole dance of joy!" Went to another active spot, and reset the trap. Again, using NO "strength", NO "worry" of crushed fingers, and all within a minute or two! I have been trying for TWO YEARS to use those scissor traps with no luck, and this one, right out of the box, caught a mole within an hour or two! So... Yeah. This gets 5 stars from me, and I HIGHLY recommend it to you women out there!!! If *I* can use this thing as EASILY and SUCCESSFULLY as I did, then YOU can too! You GO girls! Get them d@mn moles! UPDATE, 07/05/14: I'm now 2 for 2! Caught another this morning!
