   I have heard about using peanut butter and tried catching mice/rats using   
   it. It worked. I also used fresh apple to catch rats. Moles in my area have   
   no eyes and don't need to be on the surface. They remain, mostly,   
   underground. The English scissors trap I am using.... buried , hasn't worked   
   with my past placement efforts. I will continue in the hunt. Maybe I will   
   put peanut butter on it....maybe that will work although my understanding is   
   that moles eat worms and the like that live in the ground. Maybe a worm tied   
   to the trap will work....have you heard about a worm that was fit to be   
   tied?
