Who Would You Say Made The Best Traps

[2.8 guy 403]

Who would you say made the best traps, from fen to fox and anything in between, is there such a company that makes them all.

 

Is it a british company? or is there any trap manufactures that are the ones to watch out for

ie, up and coming new designs ect

 

Any trap makers in yorkshire who maybe want to expand invest in new ideas

Sounds like you have a trap design you're looking to do something with? What's if for?

[2.8 guy 403]

Yes your on the right line of thought however carnt disclose anything at the moment, had a meeting with a patent atorny

Monday he advised me to make a primarily application get a pat number before speaking to any third parties but that would be UK based only initially the cost of the world wide patents are expensive as the atorny is 140 pounds per hour

My lap tops packed in so borrowed this tablet thing but I'll be on more regular soon at 2.8

[Steve Albano 21]

Wouldn't one patent cover you for most of Europe? Or would you get a patent that is just for the UK? Anyway, hope you get your patent application in as I'd love to see what you're working on.

new trap ideas are a bit hit and miss...very few traps that aint based on another design,and from experience there others who thought of your idea to... expensive to develop to .... good luck tho.

I have a new mole trap design up my sleeve, but it's been up there for almost two years, and I still don't have it quite right, but I have been working on it again lately.

Will you let people over here trial them at all Steve, Or would you do all that yourself ??

[Steve Albano 21]

Hey Darren, I'd love to get some feedback on it, but just like 2.8Guy said above, you can't publicly disclose something that you want to patent, at least not until after you file the patent application. But if I do get a patent application in, I'd be happy to send out some samples, or maybe I could even take a working vacation and come on over and do some mole trapping in the UK. That would be fun.

[moley 115]

its alright poncing about in california in all that sun steve, you would find it hard work over here, have you ever heard of things called waterproofs??lol

[Steve Albano 21]

I know I have it good over here, going to work in shorts and a t-shirt. I've seen your video--looks like real work trapping on those farms.

[logun 91]

thought you stopped sending traps here steve...many messaged you but you never reply ...that's what i gather reading posts on this site

[Matt 160]

Steve, you'd always be welcome to a day or two on the gents if you find yourself in the UK.

 

I've been working on a very windy Exmoor today; not quite as harsh as the part of the world that Moley is in, but still hard going.

[Steve Albano 21]

Hey Logun, I have been out of commission with some health issues for some time, so I haven't been on here much.

 

UK customs is really a hassle, and it's a lot easier for us to use Killgerm as a distributor in the UK, even though that does make our traps a bit pricey for the UK market. But they do sell.
