Probuk 93 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I use genuine Fenn traps and cheap traps..thing it the cheap traps i have are good cheap traps..and the springs are stronger than the fenn springs. Thats all ive said all along but for some weird reason i get greef for using them. Not sure exactly what trying to be proved here. Quote Link to post
Probuk 93 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Plenty of mole catchers use the fenn trap...but another mole catcher put me on to these cheaper traps and it just so goes there ok traps that ive used for two seasons..and there as strong as they where and killing just as good as my Fenn traps...so yeah..i think cheap traps are fine as long as there doing the job. Its a forum..and i can have an oppinion like all. Quote Link to post

albert64 1,882 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 looked on ratbait today to order some talpex and their duffus traps seem cheap has anyone used them ? Quote Link to post
Probuk 93 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Find your own cheap traps lol...ive had enough stick on here to last me a life time. Im not the kind of bloke that enjoys argument and snide comment but i dont roll over like a dog either..exscuse the pun..il defend myself.! Its like i was saying..the traps arnt chinese...there from europe. We have a farm in central europe cz republica and a good few of my traps come from there on my last visit. I also picked up some as equally as good on flee bay. Il stick a few pictues on soon of traps i have laid between fence posts..one of wich was taken by them black and white fffffflipin badgers lol. Around my way there a total nightmare and to many of them. Iv found six lambs recently with just there heads bit off and i doubt it moles doing it lol. Quote Link to post
DKGPestControl 22 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 The reason is you took offence for me reccomending a fellow mole catcher to what i belive to be the best trap on the market as do may others. I have used the "cheap" talpex type traps from primrose london before to good effect but the cheap duffas just dont cut the mustard for me. They are not strong enough for regular use.
