Mole Land Mines??

[shropshire mole 190]

This is one for Clive to comment on!!

 

Had a lady ask me about moles in a garden as she has run out of "land mines" when asked she said her brother brought them over from France last year.

Apparently they are placed in the run and "blows the mole up"

 

What do you know about these Clive??

Yes, the Detauper. They work on a 9mm blank and by the amount I find laid around my customer's gardens, they can't be that effective. One guy I met while picking up a trailer load of compost reckoned that he had 'killed' over 40 moles in his front garden in 6 months. No bodies and the only evidence for his 'kills' was the cartridge going off. Another bloke known to a customer of mine now has two perforated eardrums when he accidentally activated the device whilst crouching alongside it.

 

The village handyman makes his own using wrought iron and a 12 gauge cartridge with the lead emptied out

Here's an idea for someone. Have you seen those home made stun guns and cattle prods on Youtube? They use the capacitor from a flashgun to discharge 400 volts or more. I had an idea of making one using an old flash gun for mole killing. Once the capacitor is charged anything like a mole or rat bridging the two wires would get a lethal dose. I can't find a cheap enough flashgun out here and with one thing and another didn't get around to looking in Cash Converters last week. I'm sure there are some on here who would be able to knock one up properly (and a few who will try anyway )

Dont know if it is the same one as you are all talking about but i have seen one on you tube that is called molecat .Also uses a blank .

This is an older version...........

 

 

 

Basically charge with 1 - 2 grams of powder (without lead shot), cock the pistolet and place in the tunnel.............................

 

Imagine running this past the Old Bill for your FAC

i have a story about a similar thing i see for cats round a pigeon loft

 

an old boy a long time ago in a land far far away...and this may have been a dream or a story from the man down the pub or ali from the kebab shop..

had a pigeon loft being mobbed by the moggies off a estate. this loft had a red brick wall down the back of it and was supplied with mains electric..so he made a box from ply wood that sat on the wall about 3 ft long and 14"-16" inch square ....inside was a rubber mat and 2 stainless steel plates on yop of that about a foot square and about a foot apart. these were wired to the mains in the loft one plate on + one on - when a moggie went along the wall and thru the box it would step on the plates and complete the circuit and the old boy/dream/ali said he knew when he had one as the trip switch would go in the house! he would nip out scrape it off and re-set the trip switch
