5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use well-built trap for moles and voles or any tunnel digging critter

This trap is well-built and effective when used correctly. All winter I noticed a tunnel near my greenhouse and could see the dirt disturbed. The ground was a little frozen to dig in Feb so I waited till last week to use the trap. I used a small shovel to dig a circular hole at the bottom of the hole. Be sure to note the direction of the tunnel. Trap basically get set at the bottom of the tunnel and point opening towards each direction. I placed some leaves in around the base of trap and didn't replace the dirt. Next day the mole was caught.

A week later I saw the same tunnel being utilized and decided to set the trap in the same location. Apparently a vole is notorious for using mole tunnels. The trap worked perfectly and caught a vole the next day.

I noticed many little holes near my gardens edge and while working in the garden I decided to set the trap again like before. Not even 2 hours later the trap engaged and got another one. It's a little expensive but very effective and should last a while.

Straightaway, please don't mistake this post for a cheap slam job. I purchased five different high dollar vole and mole traps; only to see one beautiful desert tree after another cacti on top of a succulent succumb to a vole and mole onslaught. All told, I'm out $1800-2K in losses, if not ten times as much in heartache.

After three weeks without trapping success, I sought out the Swiss manufacturer, a difficult task in and of itself. (Try to find their customer service prompt.) Going forward, I redeployed the trap per their instructions. Finally, I nailed a vole.

Or a snake killed it and the vole--missing large chunks of fur and flesh--simply tumbled into the TopCat.

In sum, for all its handsome Space Age attributes, the TopCat is a $9K toilet seat.

These traps work great for me. My voles are just about the size of moles, so I suspect they will also catch moles. In fact, they have been the ONLY vole trap that has worked. I saw a YouTube video on these heavy-duty TopCat traps and decided to give them a try.

I find the small hole (about 2 inches across) where the vole sticks his head out, dig down a few inches and put this trap upright. I purchased several of these so I can put them in several holes--no matter where they pop their head out, a trap will get them.

I use several bricks positioned around the cylinder to keep the trap upright, if needed. After I catch a vole, I make sure the bottom of the cylinder is totally free of dirt and then simply put it back in.

There are lots of voles in one colony, so I check the trap several times a day. I want to clear them out as soon as possible. I have read they breed quickly and are even active in the winter!

BTW, I have to make sure I avoid larger holes because I don't want to harm chipmunks. That is the only challenge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great vole trap

I've got a serious vole problem in my yard, they are eating all of my expensive plants in my flower beds. I've tried poison and snap-traps near the surface holes that they dig, but nothing was working. I watched a video by Shawn Woods (Mousetrap Monday YouTube channel) and he said this swiss-made vole trap was the best that he has ever seen. Shawn is an expert, so I bought one and in less than 24 hours I've already caught two of the varmints. I'm very happy with the build quality of this trap too, very robust and well-made.

UPDATE: While this is an excellent vole trap, I found some less expensive plastic traps (very similar design) that work equally well. Between this trap and the plastic ones, I've caught 28 voles in the past month or so.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work for larger voles

Seller was great - fast shipping, item worked as described. Unfortunately over 20+ attempts I caught zero voles and only one rubber boa that I managed to rescue (it eats voles! the exact thing I don't want to catch). Plenty of active runways and damage to potatoes around so they're active.

This trap just doesn't work for the larger Townsend's vole found in the PNW - it's a smaller trap, and these are big voles. The trap would be toppled over, unsprung, or plugged with a bit of dirt, or sprung in the tunnel, empty. It doesn't work well in soft garden dirt either - you want the tunnels to be hard packed dirt. It doesn't work for moles either - I have both, but the moles easily plug it up entirely and tunnel around it.

It works for mice in your garage, if you can get the trap to not topple over while standing above ground?

This is a heavy duty trap that won't fail. You will never find half-dead voles like in some cheaper traps. This works great in spots where voles have burrowed down into the ground such as next to sidewalks and raised garden beds.
