Nicepix 5,650 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Have caught some moles with the £2.99 traps, apart from really hard to set, have worked well. I got some cheapie traps when I first started out. They worked OK at first, but the wires soon stretched and corroded making them increasingly harder to set and activate. After a few months there was so much play in the trigger loops I abandoned them. Quote Link to post

After a few months there was so much play in the trigger loops I abandoned them. The same will probably happen to these, but since I needed extra traps to fulfil all the farms that suddenly wanted mole control, it was worth buying these and often find it can take "Flatpack" 2-3 weeks to deliver depending how busy they are at time of order.

ponte 222 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks Shropshire Anymore thoughts on the £2.99 ratbaits half barrels? Quote Link to post
shropshire mole 190 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 They are what they are - cheap, hard on the thumbs to set, but have been catching with them. Do like the flat base when set, They may last, they may not only time will tell, my guess is not as long as a flatpack trap, but then there half price Quote Link to post
