Stuart, i didnt know we had moles in ireland ? Maybe we have and i just have not come across them .
Hi, looking for some advice, Im a novice in mole catching. Yesterday I set 4 traps when I checked them today one trap is still OK but the others are covered up by little mole hills. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
I’ve had no success with the Talpex traps this Autumn, so they’re back in a bucket. Barrel traps have been working well though. Last time I was trapping, the Talpex were catching nearly every time. Different soil conditions maybe?
This has inspired me. I'm going to dig the mole trap out of the cupboard and have a go tomorrow.
If I get to it around heptavacing sheep.
If you’re feeling that inspired, I have a bag of scissor traps that have been modified as suggested on that website. Free to collect, as I won’t be using them again......
No moles or no luck?
most of my traps are barrel type which i get away with ok, but if i get them backfilled a couple times in the same area i usually swap for talpexDon’t know but I sometimes think varying which type of trap is used confuses the little buggers and helps catch them. Certainly had one last week that filled the barrel type twice last week so I put a couple of putanges in and that was the end of him
Variety is the spice of lifemost of my traps are barrel type which i get away with ok, but if i get them backfilled a couple times in the same area i usually swap for talpex
