We do the impossible -ELIMINATE MOLES !

The guy to the left kindly named ExterminatorMatt, he spent 12 years of dreaming and building the perfect Mole/Vole kill trap. After creating 7 differnt styles, he gave up due to failure. After two years of brain rest, his wife said 'What ever happened to your Mole trap idea, you were so close?' - That night he recieved a new and modified idea. The trap was finished in 3 weeks, tested in Michigan, and Ohio. Two states that are loaded with large relentless turf destroyers. 

The trap never missed, simple to set...   

Take a look at the photos and the Mole kill 'captured on video' - Don't feel to bad, one cant appreciate the action unless you have battled for suppremacy over the lawn year after year! But never again...

There are three options:

The initial first time treatment is $250 dollars. We will survey and set between 5-25 traps around your house. Within 2 weeks there will be total elimination. Free follow up visits extend 8 weeks thereafter, just in case we missed one that may be hiding deep under ground.                                                                                      

Renewals are $125 thereafter.                                                                                                  The renewal extends the trapping 8 additional weeks.

It may be time to buy a trap, now that you see how exillerating it can be to have victory over the mole monster

Follow the simple 3 step lesson taught by MoleManMatt. I promise you can do it if you can change a light bulb or a full refund in the mail along with an apology signed by MoleManMatt-worth big bucks someday! A home owner really only needs one or two traps. Each trap is super duty strong and comes with a 20 year no question asked guarantee!-send us the old one and a new trap will arrive days later. $65 dollars buys you a mans toy that gives that feeling of complete satisfaction and high five victory.                                                                                                    (Two @ 55 each, Three-Five @ 50 each, and six or more @ 45 each.)

The Moles Geographic Range

Scalopus aquaticus is a mole found from southeastern Wyoming, South Dakota, and central Texas east to Michigan, Massachusetts, and New England, south to the tip of Florida, and north to Ontario. Small relict populations are found in southwestern Texas and in northwestern Mexico.

Habitat

The eastern mole prefers fields, meadows, pastures, and open woodland. It is not found in stony or gravelly soils or in clay but frequents moist, sandy, and loamy soils.

Physical description

Head and body length in Scalopus aquaticus ranges from 110 to 170mm. Tail length ranges from 18 to 36mm. This size variation occurs on a gradient with the largest animals in the northeast and the smallest in the southwest. The robust body is covered with a thick velvety fur of a color that varies from silver to black to copper. The short tail is round, almost hairless, and indistinctly scaly. The feet are scantily haired above, naked below, and quite large. The webbing between the toes of each foot aids in digging. These moles have no external eyes or ears. It is thought that the poorly developed eye may be effective in detecting light.

Reproduction

Breeding and parturition occur once a year in Scalpous aquaticus. Breeding takes place in late March and early April in most of this mole's range, but the season begins in January in the south. Estimates of gestation length range from four weeks to 45 days. Litters usually contain two to five young. The young are independent in one month and are sexually mature by the next breeding season. One captive animal lived longer than 36 months.

Nurture

Young eastern moles are cared for and nursed by their mother in her nest and tunnel system until they are weaned. They continue to share her tunnel system until they are able to forage on their own, when they leave and establish their own tunnel systems.

Life span

One captive animal lived longer than 36 months. In the wild it is likely that eastern moles live for less than this.

Behavior

A study in Kentucky found that S. aquaticus has daily activity peaks from 0800 to 1600 and from 2300 to 0400. Male home range averages 1.09 hectares whereas female home range averages only .28 hectares. These moles are not solitary. Their home ranges often overlap and several individuals have been found using the same tunnel systems. These tunnels are found in two forms. One type consists of deep, fairly permanent passageways that are used as burrows and as routes to feeding sites. The other consists of surface runways used for collecting food. Winter tunnels tend to be deeper than summer tunnels. Nest chambers of dry vegetation are usually below the surface underneath a boulder or the roots of a plant. Eastern moles can dig up to 4.5 meters in one hour with their powerful forefeet. One individual dug 31 meters of shallow tunnels in one day. Special morphological developments enable the mole to burrow with such speed. Their forefeet are large and as wide as they are long. The bones of their shoulder girdles and upper forelimbs provide broad suraces for muscle attachment. When they burrow, these moles essentially "dive" into the earth; they first thrust their forefeet into the soil and then follow with the head and body as they rotate their forelimbs and pull the loosened dirt backwards.

The mole has high energy requirements and needs considerable amounts of food daily. As a result this animal forages widely; the incidence of inbreeding is low and the level of gene flow is fairly high. These patterns are unusual for fossorial mammals. Soil type and moisture are the eastern mole's major barriers to dispersal. They are good swimmers and are limited not by water itself but rather by the moist, clay-filled soils that accompany water courses. Soil acidity, which determines food abundance, provides another potential barrier to dispersal.

Food Habits

Scalopus aquaticus eats primarily earthworms. It also eats insects and their larvae, some vegetation, and, in captivity, ground beef, dog food, mice, and small birds. Each day this mole eats 25 to 100% of its own weight in food.

Eastern moles spend 99% of their time in their underground tunnels, there are few predators that can find and catch them there.

Ecosystem Roles

Eastern moles are important predators of insect larvae and other invertebrates, they can profoundly impact the communities of their prey. They also act to aerate and turn soil where they live through their extensive tunneling activities.

As an insectivore, this animal eats the larvae of many insect pests. It also helps to aerate and turn over the soil.
