STV International STV312M Defenders Mole Claw Trap, Catch and Kill Trap to Control Moles, Protects Lawns and Gardens, Durable, Rust-Free, All-Weather Design, Value Pack of 12, Silver

These traps are easy to set and are solidly made. They work well and I’ve a few less moles destroying my garden.

I was looking for a few traps, saw this and for the price and quality was ok. Works good.

There are 12 traps in the pack, which appeared to be value for money at the time of purchase. In some ways they are also effective: by the time i finished setting all 12 traps on the day that they were delivered, I had my first mole. However, maybe i had not set it correctly or maybe the spring isnt strong enough but the mole was still alive. Ill experiment with different arrangements for setting the trap, to see if that makes a difference, but i guess if you use these, you will need to check frequently in order to reduce any possible suffering to a minimum.

I had 3 traps originally and used without any success. Bought these 12 that are stronger than my 15 year old traps and set them all out. Within a day had caught a mole, day three another and day five the 3rd one. No more mole hills since and no more moles caught, hopefully that is it for now. Putting out 15 traps for me really made a diffrence as I have so many hills and runs there was more chance of finding an active one. Method used, places in a mole hill for a day or two to mask any smells, using gloves and a skewer prodded between holes to find the runs, cut out a neat hole with a large knife and set the traps with a pile of earth ontop.

fork perfect good value

I have mixed feelings about these. The more I read about these wonderful little animals the more guilty I feel about killing them. The traps work very well once you locate an active mole run. I waited too long before trapping as a last resort but the damage they were causing eventually amounted to a wheelbarrow of soil a day. Overall, the traps kill instantly, are simple to use and appear well made enough to last if that's a positive attribute?

Good quality traps.

I bought these to clear the moles that were peppering my garden with holes. They do work, but to be effective they need to be placed in the main tunnels. I wasted time thinking I would just place these inside excavated molehills, until I realised these were side shafts that were often closed off themselves. Once I got the mole-run finder from the same company and discovered the underground network of tunnels, I planted all of these traps and within a few days had caught five or six moles and that stopped the devastation full-stop. I assumed it was dozens of moles but in reality one or two can cause a lot of damage. I also got little marker flags as some tunnels run deep and the trap is fully underground, easily lost. I should add that these traps do not slice the mole, it breaks their necks, killing them instantly. So the mole looks a bit s-shaped, but that is all. So disposal is not gory and the traps are instantly reusable.

Habe wirklich jegliche Art von fallen getestet, da wir seit 1 Jahr eine maulwurfsplage haben. Mit keiner anderen habe ich einen fangen oder vertreiben können. Bei dieser Falle schon nach 1 Tag einen gefangen. Wichtig ist nur, dass man mit einem Eisenstab die gänge findet und die Falle in laufrichtung aufstellt und wieder mit Erde bedeckt. Das gute ist auch das die Falle für Kinder und Haustiere ungefährlich ist da der Teil der raussteht nicht zusammenschnappt.

Quest'anno con tutta la pioggia che sta venendo, le talpe mi hanno colonizzato un grosso prato tanto che coi sassi che riportano in superficie non posso piu' tagliare l'erba senza il rischio di rompere le lame della motofalciatrice. Finalmente dopo anni a usare inutilmente il carburo o altri dissuasori mi sono imbattuto in questi attrezzi. Non troppo fiducioso mi sono attrezzato di cazzuola e paletta e di una asta di metallo x punzecchiare il terreno in cerca di gallerie (anche se poi ho optato x scavare dove vedevo i mucchietti di terra). Ho fatto un buco in corrispondenza della galleria e vi ho posizionato all'interno questa specie di forbice in acciaio caricandola con il suo sistema. Passati 15gg ne ho presa una e la settimana dopo altre 2. Vanno posizionate altre in corrispondenza dei nuovi cumuli. Naturalmente mi dispiace molto, e preferirei sistemi non letali, ma visto che per legge bisogna fare almeno uno sfalcio dei prati sono costretto a usare questo sistema. Ho fatto altri 2 ordini x altri 24.
