vole Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 For years I buried my traps and set them without touching them until hearing it made no difference . My claw traps have gone a bit rusty so I was going to take a wire brush to them but does anyone use oil on the springs ? Cheers for any info .

wymberley Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 "A strong hazel stick for the spring, two pieces of brass wire, a little string, a few hooked pegs and a top made of the half of a piece of willow pole, about six inches long a nd three in diameter, hollowed out, are all the requisites for a mole trap". So, where do you put the oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
