Barrel traps all the way for me!

 

These are probably the best I have used

The flat pack

Second that. Flat pack traps do the biz for me

The reason the traps are full of soil is that you haven't been careful enough when setting them. The mole has come along, detected something suspicious and filled the trap. Make sure you don't straighten out any bends (it should be in a straight section of the run to begin with), you haven't pushed any soil up either side of the tunnels and that the floor of the tunnel is nice and smooth. Good luck with the rest.

I've been using the Trapline mole traps and can recommend them. Much smaller than Duffus/Talpex, which means that

you don't have to "open up" the tunnel as much to set them. And you can carry more of them.

 

 

Great little trap, get a couple and try them against the others.

talpex (genuine) for me

I use the barrel traps from the flat pack co but I have just been given a few fenn scissor trap and I quite like them

[logun 91]

i been using the trapline type trap for most of my trapping.trap in area of heavy,clay type soil and they work where talpex wouldent.think the best tunnel traps on the market at the mo are made by proctor.way betterthan any other duffus type out there.

[logun 91]

belive it or not lads,there is 100 traps in that pic.goes to show how compact they are

Go on clean up your barrels they will serve you well if looked after.

Dont be put off by back filled traps it just means you are in the right place, but be more careful with covering, cleaning the hole and not leaving open to topside smells and debris getting down there.

do you have to use 2 of these? 1 facing each way.. they also look small would they need an anchor?

 

thanks smithie

hi smithie. i tend to use a barrel trap at first,but do put the trap line types out a bit facing one way.also had a lot of moles in them when mole has came to the trap wrong way round.dont think you do need to use two if you set them out a bit .
