We have used these traps for years in our professional pest control business. The new springs and aluminum jaws are terrible. This used to be the best mole trap on the planet, now we are searching for an adequate replacement. DO NOT BUY!!!!

new traps using different metal jaws (possibly aluminum) do not work. 2 broke when I tried to set them.
Springs were changed. Don't work as well.

I have always used these traps. Just bought 2 more and they aren't like they used to be. The spring tension is weak. I can squeeze it to set it without having to use the tongs things that come with it. Very disappointing.

The spring tension was changed a few years ago and now they barely work. You can set them with 1 hand and do not even the the tools to open the trap.

Great traps because you can dig down to get in level with their tunnel. Kills 'em dead.

As a nusciance trapper I have always relied on victor for my business. I recently bought some new oops mole traps to replace my old ones and was shocked to see the light weight,weak spring piece of junk they were now selling. They should be ashamed. It will not even close in good soil.

I'm a contractor who used to use the Out O Sight traps exclusively for moles. They were one of the few traps that worked and most professionals were using them. Then a couple years back something changed. The springs became weak and useless. These traps will NOT work to trap moles and are a waste of money. The professional are switching to different traps now. The only thing caught in these traps now are poor gullible homeowners.
New version has much weaker springs

Bought a few to replace the ~15 year old Victor traps that look identical, however the new traps are much weaker. The springs are so weak I can set them without the tools. Meanwhile the same traps that are ~15 years old have much stronger springs and will actually trap moles. The new version is much weaker, time to try something different.
Used to be good, spring is way too weak now

These victor moles traps have been my go-to trap on the farm for decades. I have caught thousands of moles with these. Problem is, the company went cheap and the new traps suck. The spring is way weaker than the one from years ago. So now the trap closes so slowly that the mole just cruises right by. I still have 1 of the older traps, it never misses, but the new traps (2 of them) have never caught a single mole in 2 years. We have loose sandy soil, and I am setting the traps the same way I always have, this is a design flaw that makes these newer traps worthless.
Absolute horrible trap.

Absolute horrible trap. I just bought 40 of them and one of them broke on the first set. Another trap caught the mole but it drug the trap around until it died. Weak springs don’t do anything anymore. Would not recommend these.
