gnipper 5,945 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Is it not a legal requirement to check all traps at least every 24hrs? Quote Link to post
mole trapper 1,646 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nope not for moles, mice and rats. Quote Link to post
philstory 83 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Cheers lads. Just got some new traps and set them today. Haven't done any mole trapping since i was a kid. On me grand-parents farm. Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Is it not a legal requirement to check all traps at least every 24hrs? No. It's not even a legal requirement to check Fenns (other than those set for rabbits and hares) every day. Traps set for 'Small Ground Vermin' (rats, mice & moles) do not have to be approved, nor do they have to be checked unless you want to This, despite the desperate attempts by one foolish individual who's even gone running off to the RSPCA to get support for his demand to change the law Guild members take note Quote Link to post

Rowan 308 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I set them , then check after 2 days , then 4 days , then weekly until jobs done.usually in gardens and small-ish jobs the first 3 trips does it. To be honest it all depends on how busy I am , but you may as well check them , get the job done and move onto the next place. 1 Quote Link to post

To be honest it all depends on how busy I am , but you may as well check them , get the job done and move onto the next place. Just about the same as myself. I try to finish the job in three visits, two days apart but if there are still some stragglers to catch I'll leave a few Putanges out and check them when convenient. Quote Link to post
torchey 1,202 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Third visit is rapping up, i give a couple of weeks grace just incase i,ve missed one...... Quote Link to post
earth-thrower 490 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Once you have set your mole traps how often do you check them? Daily or every couple of days enough. Depends on the individual.If your keen,check them the next day.Particularly, if its a 'single catch' type trap.You can see,if its went off,or not.With the half-barrel,your better leaving it longer,than this.Especially, this time of year ?,.....lol Quote Link to post
