Scissor claw mole vole trap x 2

When we moved house the rear garden lawn looked like an alien landscape due to mole hills. A serious attempt was needed to solve the mole problem. First we tried a sonic deterrent which we persisted with for a couple of years, but it became clear that this was completely useless - the moles eventually making their earth mounds around the deterrent! Then we tried a humane trap. This required quite a long hole, so setting the trap itself produced a mess. After a couple of seasons we did catch one mole - which then needed to be released elsewhere. But the overall success - one mole - had caused lawn damage which was as bad the mole hills, so we ditched the humane trap. The next attempt used tunnel traps. Setting the spring was difficult. Also, hidden below ground, you could not tell if the trap had been sprung. After several seasons we caught one mole - at the cost of considerable lawn damage setting the traps. In the end we gave up on these traps. Then we bought these scissor claw traps. They are more solid in construction than tunnel traps and are very much easier to set. Though no instructions were included there is plenty of advice on setting mole traps on Utube. An immediate advantage over tunnel traps is that the tops of these scissor traps are visible above ground so that it is obvious if they have been tripped. They need a smallish hole which can easily be cut with a trowel. The claws of the trap should touch the walls of the tunnel with the trip tongue centred in the run. Also as with all traps the mole run must be clear either side of the trap to avoid soil pushed by a mole triggering the trap. So, after the first few days use did we catch a mole? Well, one trap was sprung without success; but oddly, the day we set these traps the moles disappeared! This was obviously a coincidence (though I sometimes think moles are smarter than we give them credit for!). Later, mole hills reappeared so I set two traps. After 24 hours we caught two moles! My skill in setting traps had obviously improved. We now have moles under control. I recommend these scissor traps as convenient to set, effective, durable, and good value.

Arrived very quickly. Caught the mole first night. Good price. Only 4 stars because you get no instructions. Had a look on YouTube for how to use it. I liked that it stuck up on lawn so you knew it had gone off. No more mole hills.

Was going to leave 4 stars like others because there are no instructions, BUT, omg, set it up, checked an hour later and we got the little monkey who had made such a mess of our beautiful garden that we have spent so many hours working on! It’s humane and instant, the jaws of the scissors are very strong. We previously spent £42 on garlic and mint balls to drive it away naturally, but they were useless. We looked on YouTube for how to set it up and it was easy! We set both traps and are leaving the other one set up for a while in case there are more moles. Very happy customer!

Did the job as in it caught a mole within 30 minutes, unfortunately didn't kill it as only caught by a claw so not that quick a kill. Main issue is total lack of instructions on how to use.

Why should I have to fix this product when it arrives in pieces? One of the traps was fine, the other had a piece missing that was lying in the box. I’ve bought before and each time I need to fix the item in some way. Sure, it’s a fairly straightforward fix but I should NOT have to do it. I will not buy again. Addendum: One month later and at the second time of using, one of the traps has broken. Very poor quality workmanship, do not buy.

Tired of paying an expensive and annoying pest control guy who seemed to think he was doing you a favour (with no results). I decided to try and deal with the moles in my garden myself for just over 25% of the cost of each visit from expert mole man (when he bothered to turn up). I can tell you this device works. Proof is in a green bag in my waste bin. This was after 1 day out. I've had 3 other traps from another manufacturer, but they haven't been as successful and cost more (one triggered with nothing caught). Maybe i got better at laying the traps which is important. Thought it was a bit macabre to share the picture. Well made, sturdy and effective. There was a bit of rust on the trigger after a few days, but I'm sure the mole didn't mind. Removed mole with the tap and bagged straight away. Hoping that's the only one, but I'm ready if any more. Would definitely recommend.

Moles are really cute looking animals. They are a sign of a very healthy garden. But left unchecked, they will leave your garden looking like The Somme. I am no lawn fanatic, I don't keep our lawn looking like a bowling green, but it looks good, and with dozens of large mounds of earth all over it, it looks terrible, and is impossible to mow. Considering their diminutive size, it is incredible how much soil these tiny creatures can shift around in such a short time. Not wanting to harm them, we tried putting used cat litter down holes after we heard this can discourage them. We just got piles of cat litter pushed back up. We tried the solar powered scarers that you stick in the ground, which whine and vibrate. To start with we thought these were working, we had a couple of weeks of apparent inactivity, but then the hills started appearing again, one of them even actually burying one of the scarers, it was so close to it. Clearly the mole was making a statement! We did our best to be kind, but it wasn't working. So reluctantly, we resorted to traps. They are really very easy to use, there are loads of videos you can find online on how to place them. I found a suitable tunnel leading from a fresh hill, dug it out, placed a trap, and carefully covered it up. We had one false alarm, where the trap was triggered but didn't catch anything, probably due to the mole pushing soil along ahead of it. After a few days, I repeated the procedure on another fresh hill, and the following day it had fired again, and this time it had caught the mole.

Ok

Nous avons décidé d'acheter ce type de piège après de nombreuses recherches sur Internet et en utilisant d'autres pièges achetés dans les magasins, mais sans succès. Ces articles sont de meilleure qualité que prévu, très bien conçus et extrêmement robustes. Vous pouvez l'ajuster à un réglage très fin. Nous avons vérifié la meilleure façon d’utiliser les pièges et notre première tentative d’attraper une taupe a été couronnée de succès - M. Mole est mort! Donc, pour nous, c'est un moyen idéal pour se débarrasser des taupes et nous recommandons vivement cet article.

funziona, funziona, funziona... Se fate un po di pratica nell'inserire la trappola nel passaggio del tunnel non ha scampo... ne ho prese tante, il problema è che tornano, ma questo non è un problema che può risolvere la trappola. La trappola è facilissima da utilizzare e funziona eccome. Io ho un cane in giardino e copro con un secchio capovolto la trappola per far si che il cane non vada a infilarci il naso e anche coperte dal secchio funzionano bene!!! OTTIME!!! Ne ho comperate altre due... più ne prende e altrettante ne arrivano di talpe... lotta all'ultimo sangue!!!

provate in mille modi l estate scorsa e non ho preso mezza talpa. passavano li vicino e non si chiudevano .

Produit de qualité vraiment. On se que ça va tenir dans le temps. Néanmoins, après quelques semaines d'essai, l'écartement semble un peu juste pour la taupe que je souhaite attraper.

pratique, la petite goupille qui sert a ecarter les broches est accrochee avec un petit cable au systeme ce qui evite de la perdre. de plus le systeme de fermeture permet de voir depuis la partie emmergee si le systeme a ete actionne.
