  1. I'd love to give them a go if possible?
  2. You taking the bend back out of the trigger plate?
  3. Good year for mole trappers.
  4. I'd shit myself if I pulled one of them out.
  5. No hard and fast rule, just do whatever works best for you I say.
  6. ......... then put in some Putanges, check them two or three times a month and get paid every month We cant get hold of them, the nomole alternative is crap in my book. Either that or I'm crap at setting them.
  7. Not sure what benefit rolled up balls of soil would be regards fitting a Talpex?
  8. I'm not sure regards this rolling balls technique sounds like extra time to me. Open the hill probe a tad and cut a tight hole for the Talpex,find the route place trap level with the run and back fill with the spoil. takes on average around 5 mins then move on to the next. Setting and catching is no probs, keeping track of where they are is my biggest problem but printing the maps off has helped no ends.
  9. Always angle the plate towards where I think he is coming from, seems to work but may just be the luck of the draw. plates are straight and unmodified as was suggested on here a while back.
  10. pay the money and get the right tool, springs are too weak on the copies and will snag. I'll take some pics of the new job tomorrow and as the wife is coming along with her new camera, I'll try to show my method of installing the Talpex.
  11. Are these Talpa or genuine Talpex?
  12. Yip straight in the top works a treat. Then simply rebuild the mound and mark with spray.
  13. set talpex on surface runs no probs,just recover with adjacent mole hills. don't cover the talpex simply fill it with fine soil.
  14. just had another job request 100 acre of silage and a graveyard to do ffs,not be checking the latter late on at night.
  15. Landowner wanted to come along with me and see how it's done, thats a no no and he soon realised why.
  16. They are a doddle when set fine, emery cloth the trigger pin to set a fine trigger and go direct down through the hill.
  17. extended family are Townies and think we are all fecked up.
  18. Thing that convinced me this last weekend was after a lovely family Sunday roast I stopped the car, and popped open the boot. only to find 3 talpex and my trusty hori hori, 10 mins later we were off again with the extended family following behind thinking WTF was that about lol. 3 out of 3 yesterday justified my actions.
  19. TBH everyone has their own favourite but I'm a bloke that likes every tool in the locker for each setting out. Talpex will never be the only one I carry as theirs always a place on a main run for the duffus and even the odd trapline come to think of it. but pound for pound and time spent they are the gear simple as that.
  20. I've got to say it's overtaken the duffus on my ground regards clearing areas for silage. using the hori hori and Talpex direct in the right mole hill is quick and easy. Yes it only catches one at a time I just place more of them and check more often,2 days at the least more often 24hrs if local. 15 out of 18 caught on the horse paddocks final count today.
