A pressure ring is placed in the middle of the opened forks; when the mole disturbs the pressure ring while moving through its tunnel, the jaws snap shut, grasping the mole. The traps are set in mole run. They are made by a company called 'Defiance', and might have been bought for resale through Finch Foundry.
