You're Dealing with a Mole Infestation

Based on your answers, the mound shape and surface activity clearly indicate active mole tunnels beneath your lawn.

Moles create shallow surface runways and volcano-shaped mounds while hunting insects and grubs. This pattern confirms underground feeding activity — not plant-root damage from gophers.

How Many Traps Do You Need?

Light (1–3 mounds)

→ 1 Trap minimum (2 recommended for faster results)

Ideal for early-stage activity or a single active tunnel system. Using two traps increases the chance of intercepting movement in both directions.

Moderate (4–10 mounds)

→ 2–4 Traps recommended

Multiple mounds usually indicate several active runways. Placing traps in different sections of the tunnel system improves overall coverage and success rate.

Heavy (10+ mounds)

→ 4+ Traps for full coverage

Widespread mound activity suggests an extensive tunnel network. Strategic placement across multiple zones ensures faster control and prevents re-infestation.

Which Size Do You Need?

CINCH sizes are set by the diameter of the tunnel, not the size of the animal. Measure across the tunnel where the trap will sit.

Recommended for you

Small

1 1/4" x 1 1/2"

Smaller moles and shallow surface runways — the usual choice east of the Rockies.

Recommended for you

Medium

1 7/8" – 2 1/4"

Mid-sized moles and established tunnel systems.

Recommended for you

Large

3"

Large moles such as Townsend's in the Pacific Northwest, which dig noticeably wider tunnels.

Most likely in your area

Broad-Footed Mole

California’s most common mole, found along the coast and into southern Oregon.

Most likely in your area

Coast Mole

A medium-sized Pacific Northwest mole that tunnels in everything from lawns to farmland.

Most likely in your area

Eastern Mole

The most widespread mole in the US, ranging across the eastern states west to Colorado and Wyoming.

Most likely in your area

Hairy-Tailed Mole

A small Northeastern mole of well-drained soils, active by day as well as night.

Most likely in your area

Star-Nosed Mole

Recognised by the ring of fleshy tentacles on its snout; favours wet, marshy ground in the Northeast.

Most likely in your area

Townsend’s Mole

The largest mole in North America, common in Pacific Northwest lowlands and known for heavy soil mounds.

Why This Is Right For You?

Because you selected:

Signs: —
Location: California (CA-compliant product logic applied)
User Type: Homeowner
Severity: Moderate Activity (4–10 active mounds)

We recommend:

CORRECT TUNNEL WIDTH TRAP

QUANTITY MATCHED TO INFESTATION LEVEL

DURABLE STEEL CONSTRUCTION FOR REPEATED SEASONAL USE

HUMANE, CHEMICAL-FREE UNDERGROUND ACTIVATION

This ensures faster results without guesswork.

Why CINCH Works Better

UNDERGROUND TRIGGER SYSTEM

VISIBLE ACTIVATION ABOVE GROUND

HEAVY-DUTY SPRING STEEL

NO POISONS OR HARMFUL LAWN TREATMENTS

REUSABLE SEASON AFTER SEASON

Traditional traps fail due to poor positioning and weak trigger design. CINCH traps are engineered for direct runway activation.
