  1. Hello to the mole catchers. I only recently discovered these forums & Hunting Life. Lots of interesting stuff posted on here. Part of my duties as a maintenance man on a private estate is pest control and that's how I got into mole catching. I'd done plenty of rats, mice, wasps and ants etc before the mole hills started bubbling up, so I found an old Duffus in a drawer and went from there. I started doing private mole jobs last year - all gardens so far - and have started generating a useful 2nd income out of it. Just beer money at the moment but more than enough for a few pints. I like t
  2. Hi all,what does everyone use as a mole probe?I have done a search but there wasnt that much on the subject,also what do you think of the flatpack one?worth the money?
  3. Just out of interest...... Which trap do you reach for first? You can explain why if you choose. For me, it's the Duffus every time, although I can see the attraction of the Talpex type traps.
  4. come on guys n girls a bit of fun whats your record catch in a season? i know this is gonna show some very big numbers from some of you agricultural mole catchers of present or past,honesty please,its gonna be multiple thousands we know but please say of you best season even if very small.dont be shy,i expect some beginers to be shocked and even disbelieve some figures, my catch is small compared to most agri trappers lets say 1500 modestly for myself to start it off over many jobs,so come on king mole who are you!
  5. nice to see these punks i caught a few colours over the years anyone worked out the cause?there not exactly common i thought fertilizers but not sure,anyone got a theory or know?
  6. anyone know talpex manufacters direct?are they in germany?website if one or contact?
  7. Hi all, I have been setting tunnel traps from 'Flat Pack' for moles. Unfortunately the moles seem to fill them with soil rather than set them off. Any tips as to where I might be going wrong? Ta.
  8. in this oic is mole traps that my dad makes and has used for bout 20 years with excellent catch rate.anybody else use them?
  9. could anyone tell me the price they charge to catch a mole thanks.
  10. Thinking about it the other day,i remembered how i first got into mole catching.It was an advert placed by a welsh mole catcher in the old Shooting News( now the Countrymans weekly)offering his booklet " The A to Z of mole catching " I sent away for it,and what a fascinating insight into the world of mole trapping it was.(I read it that much it eventually fell apart!)I SLOWLY took it from there,and when i EVENTUALLY caught my first mole,i was well and truly hooked.This was all more than 20 years ago.Anyone else want to reminisce?
  11. anyone using the trapline/steve albano type mole traps, i have used them in my garden quite a bit and am warming to them, i don,t think i will ever be able to set one as quickly as a half barrel , but at the moment i,m pretty impressed, any thoughts ?
  12. I do abit of mole catching for are local golf course where i work, probably not that good at it, but good enough to keep the little buggers at bay, done a few jobs for the members now with success, i use the Talpa mole traps and i havent failed yet with them. Went round to have a look at this job today and this mole is partly on the lawn and having a party in the flowerbed, set a trap on the lawn in a pretty good run couldnt find to many good straight runs as this little bugger is all over the place. I looked in the flowerbed and attempted to set one in there and it collapsed, carried on rega

  14. Just started using the talpex (genuine) this season.Its an effective trap alright,but a bit costly.I wonder who currently supplies these at the best price ? Cant be any fun for anybody who has to order a large quantity !
  15. With the dry weather and all this sunshine, had a pisser of an afternoon tryin to get traps in a ploughed field!! In the other fields the ground is baked solid, snapped a few trowels, last week or two!! Just wondering if anyone still got much work on or has it all 'dried up' ??
  16. I Was talking to a Colleague in Work the Other Day and he Said that Moles are Absent in Ireland.Any Truth in this?
  17. A mate of mine caught a silver mole in one of two double catches off one field this morning. The chances of that must be pretty darned slim... Here are a couple of pics.
  18. This came about a mile from the last silver mole apparently....... Bloody lovelly pair they will make if they end up at the taxidermist. Happy Silver hunting... JD
  19. been thinking about this tonight,so who are the men behind testing the traps for uk use.and testing new traps that aint been approved does that mean they breaking the law by doing so....just something that crossed my mind thats all.
  20. I've been into metal detecting since the 's and detectorists were always advised to search molehills as they could bring historical artefacts up from depth and deposit them in the hills, ready for you to find. In all the years I've been detecting I have always done this and never found a bloody thing. Since being a full-time molecatcher I've sifted through thousands of molehills and again never found a thing. I'm always dreaming that some day I'll pick up a handful of soil from a hill and a gold sovereign will drop out. Is there anyone out there who has found any coins/artefacts/other i
  21. Back to my earlier comment on this thread, a couple of days ago i came across a totally submerged run with slight activity here and there so decided to drop a trap in. No picture taken when the trap went in as it was bucketing it down, Although the water level had dropped a little it was still up to the top of the trap. I come across this regular on some of the wetter land i trap on. Scuba moles
  22. I have just got 15 new duffus traps from the flat pack company and have read that ideally they need a bit of tweaking - i.e. bending the triggers. Could someone tell me how much they need bending and a couple of picture of before and after tunning with the trap in the set position would be brilliant as a guide please. Thanks, Dave.
  23. Do they mak a difference, ie do they work, I've missed one mole three days on the trot, it goes through the trap, fills it fulla soil and makes it run between the trigger and edge of trap ???
