bullfighter 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I trap moles mainly in private gardens but with a few large farms as well. Iv always used tunnel traps with the odd scissor trap as well, but when looking on the trapmans web site iv seen a new scissor trap which they call a pro scissor trap. Its a bit longer and dosnt have the long arms for setting it, does anyone have experience with these traps? They also look pricey, £4.99, can i find them cheaper? Quote Link to post

stephen58 1 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Bullfighter, they are Talpex traps and by the looks of them cheap Chinese crap!!! and the answer is no, you won,t find them cheaper, average price £6 + vat , try Killgerm or Barrentine always buy the best traps and preferably British don,t waste your money for the sake of a £1, why they are calling them pro scissor traps is beyond me ???? best regards Steve Quote Link to post

bullfighter 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Im trying to trap a mole in a mossy lawn, cant get a good set in the soft ground. The runs are very wide so just thought a different trap might help, any ideas? Quote Link to post

mole catcher 1 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 the moleman as he calls himself comes from my neck of the woods. the traps he sells for £4.99 retail to the general public from a company in Thetford norfolk for £2.99 the conning git. they are made by a company called STV and most will know their products under the banner of The Big Cheese company. google them and if you do wish to buy direct you will save yourself a small fortune, but remember cheep is not allways best Quote Link to post
username47 1 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 AAAGH. On no account buy big cheese traps. Their tunnel trap is particulaly useless. Loop is too long and does not pull up against the tunnel hard enough to humanely despatch mole, and they wriggle out Quote Link to post

bullfighter 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ive been catching moles since i was a kid but when i first decided to try to make a bit of a livin from pest control i went and bought 50 BIG CHEESE mole traps, it took me a week of frustration to work out why i couldnt catch moles. When i worked it out the whole lot went in a pond. NEVER EVER BUY BIG CHEESE MOLE TRAPS. Quote Link to post
