Same here. I don't think I've ever caught one in a scissor trap, despite modifying/widening them as per that chap on t'internet that someone posted a link to on here.
Talpex traps and tunnels seem to work much better for me.
Glad i wasnt the only one haha

Looks like I better ring the mole man then. I have trapped before now. It's quite time consuming. Then I loose interest the sheep knock the marker sticks and I loose the bloody traps.

Didn't you know moles were haemophiliacs?

Yuh, something to do with a high red blood cell content because of low oxy levels but, really, needles in corks! Better off making them get high cholesterol on marsh mallows So they die of a heart attack!
Each to their own I s'pose

shotgun on a frosty morning, did 7 in 2 hours in 1 nine acre field last winter. Frost helps, so you can see fresh earths, then when you see the soil move, fire at the base of the mole hill from about 4 feet away , and obviously be carefully near walls, stoney ground etc
On a similar vein Im wondering if one of these will be any use for the traps I have and scissor traps?

www.theflatpack.co.uk are the best traps I've used, following a recommendation on here.
Don't forget to put a peg near them so you don't lose them.

An old method was to put a blackthorn branch in the run

Never done any good with them, get a few traps set off. Usually because I didn't get all the loose soil out of the run, they'd just push any soil left and set the trap. Younger or smaller moles can sometimes set traps off so I put them abit deeper.

I was advised to try the 'Pest Stop' tunnel traps (sold by Wynnstay but they seem to have changed supplier) by a local 'mole man'. They have flat bottoms on the loops, so disappear into the tunnel floor better and .Mrs Mole doesn't feel them until it's too late.....
The FlatPack ones are good quality too though.

What about pins stuck in either end of a marshmallow as bait?

Value for money tunnel traps that work right out the box.
