    When the use of strychnine hydrochloride for mole control in the uk finally came under review,i knew this was the first real chance in years to be rid of it.Myself along with a FEW others campaigned hard to try and ensure this outcome.Who then, would have realised that the use of monstrous explosive devices in the form of burrow blasters, would be permitted here in the uk for destroying mole tunnel systems, unbelievable!Im also a bit taken aback at the current LEVEL of interest in traditional mole trapping,what with every tom,dick and harry wanting to become a molecatcher!A certain organisatio

    On the odd occasion, i've had the misfortune of discovering a mole caught by it's forelimb, in my duffus traps.Anyone else experienced this ?

    Fair point, I considered this and after checking the area out during the day,returned later in the evening,about 9 o'clock,all quiet so set the traps.I returned early morning the next day about 7.15 am,had a mole and lifted the traps.

    Trying to deal with a small area of mole activity, which is roughly in the centre of a park/playing field.Only one fresh hill being put up,rest of them flat and stale.Managed to set a couple of traps in tunnels that seemed old and not well used,anyway picked up a mole the following day.Problem solved (or so i thought)less than a week later another mole,which also is only putting up one or two hills.Im thinking the moles are coming from deep,maybe travelling along old field drains.Id appreciate any thoughts or comments on this one , Thanks.
