The Mole Trap most commonly sold in the UK, the scissor type, is the least suitable for the inexperienced user.  Many of the cheap foreign copies are so bad that moles can pass through them without triggering them.  One of the most commonly sold Tunnel Traps has a design flaw that allows moles to escape. This page and the Trap Review page will hopefully assist you to purchase good equipment and give you every chance of becoming a successful mole catcher.

ITEM DETAILS

1. 1.CD Rom Mole Trapping with the Tunnel Trap (also available as 20 A4 page printout at extra cost)
   

Most books on the subject of mole catching dwell on the breeding cycle, feeding habits or history of the mole, and sometimes of the author.  I have yet to find one that contains step by step details of trapping technique

This CD contains those step by step details, with over 40 colour photos.  Pure catching technique. Also has 5 short video clips

This CD only covers catching with the Tunnel Trap.   Yes I know that thousands of moles are caught each year in Scissor Traps, but I find the Tunnel Trap vastly  superior to the Scissor, but only when it has been fine tuned.  An unadjusted one will probably give you worse results than a scissor trap. 

CD-ROM is pdf format, requires Adobe Reader to open file. Most modern computers already have this. This free download is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html Other formats may be available on request. Email me

2. Mole Run Probe.

Makes finding the mole run simpler. Made of mild steel rod. The tip is of larger diameter than the shaft of the rod. When you push the rod through the ground, it creates a larger hole than the shaft. This means that when you hit a mole run, you feel the distinct ‘drop’ as the shaft of the tool  is not being gripped by the soil. Unpainted to keep cost down.The CD Rom describes how to make your own but you will need access to a welder and bench grinder.

Mole trap facts.

I am a mole catcher, unlike most sellers of traps.

The trap most commonly sold , the scissor type, is the least suitable for the inexperienced user. One of the most commonly sold Tunnel Traps has a design flaw that allows moles to escape.

Duffus or half tunnel traps have a far higher success rate than scissor traps, but only if you know how to fine tune them. As an inexperienced user, your chances of catching a mole without assistance are fairly low.

What are you trying to achieve when setting a mole trap? (apart from catching the mole!) You are trying to expose the mole run, place a trap in it, then cover to exclude light. Just by looking at the traps you can see which one is the easiest to cover with an inch and a half of soil.

Preview of CD-ROM  Mole Trapping with the Tunnel Trap

A sample from the CD is given below

I have picked just five photos with accompanying text.  There are over 40 photographs on the CD. 

CD  is divided into two parts. Part One is in effect a QUICKSTART for those who have bought a pre-tuned Tunnel Trap from me, or who have done their own. With no deviations or distractions it goes through the procedure that I follow each time I set a trap.  Each step is explained, and alongside is a colour photograph of the action being carried out.

Part Two goes into more detail on various points of mole trapping. It includes basic details such as how to FINE TUNE a tunnel trap, how to make a Mole Run Probe, and advanced stuff such as how to make a very cheap molehill harrow to tow behind an ATV or tractor.
