Idiot's Guide To Trapping Moles

[walshie 2,804]

No this isn't an instructional post, it's asking the best way to trap a couple of pesky moles.

 

We've had moles for some time in the field but haven't been too bothered, but they seem to have moved into our garden now.

 

Can someone please condense their lifetime's knowledge of mole catching into a couple of easy sentences for me?

 

Like what traps do I need to buy?

 

Where do you put them?

 

How often do you check them?

 

That sort of thing. Ta.

When you find the tunnel make a tiny hole lay on your belly and dangle your little tadger down there ... The mole will come along and think it's a baby worm ... When he bites it whip him out ... Job done .......

If I laid on my belly, my tadger wouldn't reach the grass, let alone into the hole.

Marshmallow wouldn't even make it home from the shops if my mrs bought them.

 

Anyhoo...just set 6 putanges this morning, kindly donated by Smithie. What a star! Unless they don't catch anything....

 

If they do, i'll buy another dozen or so and blitz those furry blighters.

Well finally got round to putting some traps down. Had no luck at all with the putangues, then used these tunnel traps. Nothing for a week or so, then 3 in a week. I know it's slow, but one step at a time eh?

Well done pal. No stopping you now.

I can see the "so you want to be a pest controller" thread being grazed over.

Them taffy molemen are going to have their toes firmly stamped on.

I'm thinking of writing a book on it.
