Mole Run Probe, with Video Instructions
A Mole Run Probe is an absolutely essential item – we wouldn’t go to set traps without one.
And – at about 32″ (80cm) it’s long enough to use without bending double!
FOR OVERSEAS DELIVERY – for UK Delivery please select the One Piece Probe
The full length probe is too large for a Royal Mail parcel. In the UK we can deliver these by carrier, but for overseas delivery we supply this two-piece probe which can be posted anywhere in the world with Royal Mail.

A Mole Run Probe is a vital piece of equipment that no mole catcher should be without. We have these made for us in England, at about 80cms long – unlike cheaper rivals. So no more stooping. They’re made of steel rod and brightly powder-coated in orange so you can see it on the ground.
One of the trickiest problems when mole catching is finding the mole run. This probe makes that task far easier than using a screwdriver, electric fencing post or any of the dozens of other probes that are in use.
The tip is of a larger diameter than the shaft of the rod. When you push the rod through the ground, it creates a larger hole than the shaft. This means that when you hit a mole run, you feel the distinct ‘drop’ into the tunnel as the shaft of the tool is not being gripped by the soil. In fact you can sometimes feel if you have hit the side of a tunnel rather than the middle.
You’ll need a 13mm or adjustable spanner to make up the joint, preferably tightening it up in a vice. It is shown in the second photograph.

Just set my traps
Tired of waiting for a contractor to come once a week to check his Duffus traps whilst new molehills appeared I thought that I would supplement his work. I had stayed and chatted with him three times whilst he laid traps and I saw how he probed, cut out a section of earth, cleared the passage to either side, set and placed the trap and so I thought that I could do it.
I ordered three Duffus traps and a probe. They arrived with video passcodes to instruct on their use and I was pleased to learn that the traps had been tuned before dispatch.
I was really rather wary about setting them, mindful of the fact that they looked like they could crush a finger if handled incorrectly but using the safety principles in the video I overcame my fear.
Today I probed, found runs, cut open tunnels and placed traps. The next 48 hours or so will show how successful I have been.
I was really impressed with the quality of the materials, the fact that they were optimised before dispatch and the video instruction and would highly recommend the company. They have done as much as they can, now let’s hope that I reap the success that they have set me up for.
