bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just started using these and maybe it's just me, but they are so sensitive and go off with a fart. Anyone else use them? Quote Link to post

bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 So what does that do to aid my serious question, some folk on here really need to take a look at how they treat new members. Probably the most inhospitable forum I have ever joined bar the odd few decent posters. I can now see why turmoil has occurred here in the past. Poor show! and I'm back to reading if I can be bothered. 1 Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 For a member with 12000 plus posts to post such drivel regards a genuine question from a new member is laughable. 1 Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I use them just fine ... What problems are you having ...... Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi socks and thanks for the reply, bloody things seem to go off as I'm gently backfilling the hole and it's a case of dig out again.no probs with talpax or duffus just these. Will be my fault as they are new to me. Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 looking at the pic supplied with them from fourtenn acre it has plug of turf grass facing trap inside the run? Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Every time I see a new trap like the No-Mole hit the UK market and the way people fall for them I wonder if I'm a dinosaur sticking to my Duffus traps.... I keep thinking that I'd quite like to try this stuff out, and even just have it for my (feeble) collection, but then when it comes down to it, I just reach for the Duffus.. Having said all that, I've just forked out for a few genuine Talpex traps to shove into any blocked traps I get this year. I've got 300 duffus traps washed, bucketed up, and ready to go. I don't see the point in forking out hard earned coin for traps that look interesting, but in reality will rarely get used Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just a thought but to me it seems like the coating is to smooth where the ring is. How's about rubbing it with some emery paper to roughen it? Quote Link to post

Tricky mole under a patio or along a concrete wall where you can't get a Duffus or Talpex to sit right. How many visits might you make before the mole plays ball and comes out into the open? Or what about open areas where your shiny Duffus traps will get nicked? That's why discrete traps like the Nomol, Trapline or my own choice, the Putange are worth having. 2 Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 New area today was a bit of a mare, as all the snow melt from the adjacent fells has created underground streams in the runs. Hasn't stopped any activity just they are now running right under the turf roots. Quote Link to post
