Patent of the day:

Mole trap US6802152 

If moles are unwilling to move away of their own accord, these small but bothersome mammals must simply be caught. This US patent is one of many inventions designed to get rid of moles. Unlike the traps available in our stores, this one is placed on the ground. Inside the body of the trap there is an underground device. The device reacts to motion by capturing the mole inside the chamber that is above the ground.
