How CINCH Traps Work

Follow a simple three-step process to identify activity, position the trap correctly, and monitor results with minimal effort or disruption.

Step - 01

Spot and Flag the Tunnel

Search for fresh excavation activity, reveal the main tunnel opening, and mark the location clearly to make trap setup precise and easy.

Step - 02

Position for Effective Activation

Insert the trap securely into the tunnel and set it according to instructions, ensuring proper placement for dependable triggering.

Step - 03

Monitor Without Disruption

When the mole or gopher returns to investigate the disturbed tunnel area, it will activate the trigger. Remove the trap, replace the dirt and continue to observe the area for further activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If a Mole Tunnel Is Active Before Setting the Trap?

Active tunnels are usually shallow and run in straight or gently curved lines across your lawn. Press down a small section of the tunnel and check it again within 24 hours. If the tunnel has been repaired or raised back up, it's active and ready for trap placement.

Is the CINCH Trap Safe to Use Around Pets and Children?

Yes, when used according to the instructions. Place the trap only in active underground tunnels and keep children and pets away from the installation area until trapping is complete. Always handle and reset the trap with care.

How Long Does It Typically Take to Catch a Mole?

Results vary depending on mole activity and trap placement. Many homeowners see results within a few days when the trap is installed in an active tunnel. Regularly checking and repositioning the trap, if needed, can improve success.

Can the CINCH Trap Be Reused After It Is Triggered?

Absolutely. CINCH Traps are built from durable galvanised steel and designed for repeated use. Simply reset the trap following the instructions and place it in another active tunnel if necessary.

What Tunnel Size Should I Choose for My Yard?

Select a trap that matches the size of the active tunnel and the target pest. For the best performance, use the trap finder or consult our product guide to determine the right CINCH Trap for your property and pest type.
