Yeah! You stomp their main trail for a day or two. You'll come back and they'll have rooted the tunnel back open. That way, you know it's their main highway and they're actively tunneling. You insert the scissors in the tunnel and stomp the top flat. The little round plate sits on the ground directly over the flattened tunnel. I usually take a stick and try to ever-so-slightly lift up on the plate to give it a hair trigger. The next time they come tunneling through, their head hits the plate and BAM!. It doesn't cut the mole in half, but pinches the hell out of him. When you come out to check on it, if it's triggered, you pull the unit and mole out of the ground. He's either dead or close to dead. I caught one within 30 minutes one time. The best thing for mole eradication!!!
Here's a video. Not a killing, but setting it up.
