Identify the active mole tunnels. Create an indentation in the middle of the tunnel to allow for
correct trigger placement. Align the trigger with the indentation and push the jaws of the trap
into the tunnel, aligning the jaws perpendicular to the direction of the tunnel. Push the foot
pedal down until it locks into place, making sure the trigger post is visible through the slot in
the foot pedal. Push the trigger post down until it is flush with the top of the foot pedal to
ensure the trigger is set correctly. If you have not caught a mole within 48 hours, move the
trap to a new location. For more detailed instructions, visit the Tomcat Mole Trap - How to
Use page.

To apply Tomcat Mole & Gopher Repellent Granules: spread the granules on your lawn
by hand or spreader. Water the granules into the soil for about 20 minutes to allow for the
best penetration. Granules are best applied over the course of 4 days to gradually encourage
the moles to move to the boundaries of the property. For more detailed instructions, visit
the Tomcat Mole & Gopher Repellent Granules - How to Use page.
To apply Tomcat Mole & Gopher Repellent Liquid: attach a garden hose tightly to self-
dispensing container. Turn water supply on to full pressure. Adjust the spray nozzle to the
"ON" position. Spray the product over mole-infested areas. Adjust the spray nozzle to
"WATER." Continue to spray with water for 5 minutes to soak Tomcat Mole & Gopher
Repellent liquid into the soil. The liquid is best applied over the course of 4 days to gradually
encourage the moles to move to the bouandaries of the property. For more detailed
instructions, visit the Tomcat Mole & Gopher Repellent Liquid - How to Use page.
Q:
How will I know if Tomcat Mole & Gopher Repellents are working?
A:
Once moles have left the property, their tunnels become inactive. To check for activity,
flatten the soil above the tunnels, thus collapsing the tunnel. Wait 24 hours. If the soil
remains flattened, the moles have vacated the tunnels. If activity persists, you likely have a
particularly difficult infestation, and we would recommend using Tomcat Mole
Killer or Tomcat Mole Trap.

called "Ground Penetrating Technology™" (GPT™). GPT™ significantly improves the
ability of the castor oil to mix with water and penetrate deep into the soil.
