Your right, the kits are back up! £25 20 traps, pliers and 70 triggers. Hmmm, do I don't I? Never used one, seen one.

 

Dont ! lol,....you use the 'duffus', dont you ? & the 'trapline', and i take it you have a few 'talpex' ? ,.....sounds like youve got everything you need, then,.......lol

And the Fenn scissors! But.....oh bugger, your probably right.

Nicepix, unfortunately I know gamme vert all too well, she drags me around at least one every time were over, not like we haven't got enough ruddy garden centres in this country!

Yeah, but I'l bet that you can't buy a nose ring for a bull or a halter for a ram in your local garden shop. Some of the stuff found in these store still amazes me. Cage traps, spring traps, all sorts of vermincide powders and tablets, electric fencing components and bits for rotavators that haven't been made since the Beatles were Quarrymen.

Haha, good point, lol.

It appears I was incorrect last evening, the putange kits are still out of stock and the talpex.

However I did have two overpriced ones turn up in the post this morning bought from over here "talpex sorry".

Can't believe I've never tried one in all the years I've been doing this for a living, stick them in on a job I'm doing Monday to see what happens.

Cleared over 500 acre of first cut silage land with the above. Loads more to do once I do a reset on Tuesday.

I don't use Talpex much mainly because of the type of terrain I work in. Most of the time it is either too claggy and / or stony. But I agree with torchey that the Putanges will work in any soil, any weather, anywhere. I'm using them more and more.

 

I had a job last week that I didn't really want to do. It was far too much travelling and so I quoted a high price expecting to get the knock back. But the customer agreed to pay the fee and so I went out 90 minutes each way to catch his one mole. However, in the neighbour's garden I spotted a few molehills and as the neighbour wasn't around I nipped in and put a pair of Putanges in. They were under a clod of turf, nothing obvious to mark the site and nobody would have known that they were there. I got the solitary mole from the customer's garden on the second visit, and on the third visit I popped back into the neighbour's, lifted the clod and took out the neighbour's mole before it got chance to cause me a re-visit to my customer

 

They are good for rats, stoats, weasels and field mice too.

Talpa have been proving quite good for me over last 10 days

Iv'e caught with them but only in good going,talpex works in shite conditions regardless.

Trapline sets will be my first come Tuesday.
