trappa 517 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Now ive taken to wearing neoprene gloves for moles- at first its a little fumbly but after the last couple of years of nearly crying like a bairn because of my frozen fingers ive decided to wear them, and can heartily reccomend it. Once your used to them you dont know youve got em on! apart from having warm fingers obviously. So, there i was at a run-of-the-mill call out for moles today and asked the owners if they had put anything in the mole run ( i always ask this as ive found broken glass and even syringes in runs before!!) and they say no, so i started planting my traps but keep getting this awful wiff of something. In the end i asked again if they were sure and they say, well apart from creosote , nothing! AAAHH . all the runs were flooded with the stuff and my £15 neoprene gloves are ruined ! they stink of creosote and ive washed and washed them to no avail. I also had planted 10 traps which now stink of the stuff and will be useless for at least a year! Quote Link to post
