Product 001 // Kill system // Rev. 5
Not a trap. An execution system.
Five revisions of engineering spite in one box. The Molehawk locates the tunnel, holds the line, and closes the case. Sound it. Set it. Stake it. Bag it. Everything you need to turn an active run into a crime scene, minus the chalk outline. The mole is too small for chalk.
Price & availability are placeholders until launch.
Every other trap is one part and a prayer. The Molehawk is a system: find him, hold him, finish him.
Part tunnel probe, part tomahawk, entirely unreasonable. Drive the spike along a fresh ridge and feel for the drop. That sudden give is you finding his hallway. Hammer poll on the back for setting stakes. Axe head on the front for intimidation.
Moles are cowards. A wounded one will try to drag your trap into the dark with him. The coated-steel retention lanyard anchors the trap to the surface. Nobody leaves. Nobody hides the evidence.
The proven spring-loaded kill mechanism. Seat it in the run, kill the light, walk away. When he comes through on his morning patrol, his shift ends early. Permanently. Re-arm. Redeploy.
The tomahawk head comes off for safe transport and storage. The knurled cap that locks it on threads straight onto the shaft as a mushroom striker, so you can hammer the stake into hard ground.
Head seated, cap cranked down. Chop roots, slice sod, set stakes with the hammer poll. Look extremely serious about a four-ounce animal.
Unscrew the cap and the head slides free. Toss it in the truck, hang it in the shed, ship it home. No blade riding loose.
Thread the cap onto the bare shaft and it becomes a striker. Pound the stake into clay and hardpan without wrecking the head, or your hands.
Four steps. No batteries. Death is analog.

We reached out to every mole that has encountered the Molehawk for comment. None of them responded.
Because the Death Stick is a tomahawk, and moles are the only thing it hunts. Five design revisions went into it. The mole gets one try.
It's fast. That is the most humane thing we can say about it, and the most humane thing the mole is ever going to get.
In most places, yes. A few states restrict body-gripping traps. Check your state and local regulations before deployment. We want you killing moles, not paying fines.
The Molehawk is designed and tested for moles. Gophers dig differently and we won't pretend otherwise. Yet.
Glove up, bag it, bin it. Or bury it in the tunnel it dug. Poetic.
