ShropshireJohn Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Did you bury them in the Garden before use Martin? (EDIT - No idea why I'm calling you martin MM...) Dad has some (still yet to use them!) and says you should bury them in fresh earth otherwise the moles won't be near them due to the 'unknown smell' Edited July 24, 2009 by ShropshireJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did you bury them in the Garden before use Martin? (EDIT - No idea why I'm calling you martin MM...)You can call me Al. Dad has some (still yet to use them!) and says you should bury them in fresh earth otherwise the moles won't be near them due to the 'unknown smell' I was thinking i would have to do the same thing mate. I was 'directed' to a PDF which gives good info on setting them and says not to bother weathering them. I didnt bother, and they worked for me. Two things i found hard to get my head round. The first being setting the trap still got the whelts now And the second is digging out the tunnel. Its easy when you have got your head round, but im a long way off offering sound advice yet mate.

MM Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks Phil. Do you use the tunnel or scissor traps? I have had the traps pushed out in some places, so just reset them back in the same hole. is this a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonty Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks Phil. Do you use the tunnel or scissor traps? I have had the traps pushed out in some places, so just reset them back in the same hole. is this a good idea? If the trap is being pushed or filled in it probably means it's too loose in the tunnel or not square so moley can feel it/move it. If he senses anything wrong, he'll just turn round and fill it with soil. Your best bet would be to take the trap out, fill that hole and look for a new spot in the same active run and start again. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks Jonty Im checking them every second night, so ill go tonight and try that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
