Just been on the web site and im sure i didnt pay so much last year, have they pushed their prices up?

 

They also do a talpex type trap, anyone tried it?

I think VAT has caught them up !!

I use their new claw traps and they are excellent. I think they are actually better than genuine Talpex. The steel of the frames is thicker (less twist)and has rounded edges being made from bar rather than being stamped out, there are washers between the frames so they move better and the spring is excellent. They also sell setting bars for people who have a problem with the spring strength but I find them very easy to set by hand or resting one side on the ground. They are a bit expensive compared to barrel traps but my catch rate is slightly better with them and I get virtually none sprung empty. I have 30 so far and gradually replacing my barrel traps with them.

All the best

Got to bite the bullet and buy some, got a nice local job so might do that first to bring a bit of cash in to pay for em. Only need about 25 to replace lost ones but wanted a dozen of 2 other kinds aswell, talpex ect, just to expand the armoury.

      Moles Down Holes
      By LuckOrJudgement
      Hello to the mole catchers. I only recently discovered these forums & Hunting Life. Lots of interesting stuff posted on here.
      Part of my duties as a maintenance man on a private estate is pest control and that's how I got into mole catching. I'd done plenty of rats, mice, wasps and ants etc before the mole hills started bubbling up, so I found an old Duffus in a drawer and went from there. I started doing private mole jobs last year - all gardens so far - and have started generating a useful 2nd income out of it. Just beer money at the moment but more than enough for a few pints. I like the work and am fascinated by all the different traps and their suitability to different situations. I use a lot of Traplines and I'd be interested to have other opinions on them - the good, the bad and the ugly if you like. Although I carry Duffus and Talpex, I've gotten into the bad habit of defaulting to tlines which has revealed that certain moles won't have anything to do with them - they seem to just chuck 'em out the way. They also often fire without catching. Not on every job, but often enough to remind me that there is always another tool for the job. I really like the Trapline, and I'm working on refining my setting technique constantly. Just wondered what other mole men's experiences with them were. And to say hello.

      Mole Traps

      Just out of interest......
       
      Which trap do you reach for first? You can explain why if you choose.
       
      For me, it's the Duffus every time, although I can see the attraction of the Talpex type traps.
