i suppose as it was over xmas and new year people just put doing anything on hold but i`ve had 8 bookings in just the last two days which is alot, for me anyway, glad of the work tho as its been real quiet the last few weeks.

I just got 10 genuine Talpex traps from this company:-

Buying 10 meant they worked out at £8 each which I don’t know is a good or a bad price but I was more interested in getting the the genuine article. I have a couple of orders with them and they are good.

Just had a few from them, very good service and the genuine article. Postage cheaper than Killgerm too. They've paid for themselves already!

 

Thanks for the heads-up Dave.

 

Collieman: Yeah I prefer the talpex, I find them quicker to set than the duffus, also less likely to get pinched and I have a much higher catch rate with the talpex. A mate uses duffus (I showed him how to use them so techniques presumably similar), and he gets on better with them than with talpex. Trapping's such a personal thing.

i`ve got a dozen talpex, a dozen trapline and various old sissor types i use them all sometimes but 99 times out of 100 use the half barrel of which i have about 160 i just find them easyer to use and much more effective and discreet when set.

half barrel is king for me

i like to try traps i havent used before but always go back to what i know works for me.

[salukiwhippet 6]

I do use the duffus in shallow runs, talpex is the daddy for me for most trapping though. I reckon 70% of the traps I set are talpex, and probably 90% of the moles I catch are in talpex. Still use the scissor type very occasionally. How do you rate the trapline ones? Quite intruiged by them I have to say.

less likely to get pinched

 

Just a question, why do you find them less likely to get pinched compared to the duffus traps salukiwhippet?
