Putange Mole Traps with Triggers
French wine and French food are hard to beat. Don’t let’s take that away from them: but their Putange Mole Traps are excellent as well.
You will need a setting key or some setting pliers too: please don’t even think you can set these traps with just your precious fingers.
Normally used in pairs, so the minimum order is 4 traps.
Please read the instructions that come with the traps carefully: we hope to have a full instructional video soon too.
£2.75
284 in stock (can be backordered)
Tie the triggers to the main trap loops – otherwise you’ll lose them! (It’s worth ordering some spare triggers too).
To set these traps you might well need to buy a setting key from us for £4.99. Click on the image.
Mole catchers in France have used the Putange mole trap for decades. Many say for centuries! The Putange is sold all over France in garden centres and hardware stores, and ours are made in England of 5.5mm mild steel. They are simple and effective, and we recommend them – especially for those who find the strong springs of a tunnel trap awkward.
Please note that if you are buying these for the first time you will need either some Putange setting pliers or a setting key: you cannot easily arm the trigger with just your fingers, which are also reasonably valuable to you ….
Comprehensive Instructions on arming the Putange mole trap, and how to set them, come with the parcel.
Tricky one this, because “one mole make a lot o’ show”! And who are we to say?!
Because we usually use two of these in the place of one tunnel or Talpex trap, you can safely double up on normal estimates. So, if you have a small garden, two, minimum. Larger gardens of over an acre it could be six or more – more than that needs more than that. For a paddock, start with ten and buy more when you need them. Try to find a couple of runs in a 30 foot diameter circle.
And if you’re in charge of a golf course you might have fifty or more.
Feedback
As you may like to have some feedback, I am delighted to tell you that my first attempt to catch the mole busy burrowing through our lawn was successful. I set two traps, following your excellent instructions to the letter, and that was it. It may have been just beginners luck but at the moment I am pleased to say there are no more tell tale mounds so I will have to wait and see until the next time to see if I’ve got things right. I am sure those pesky critturs will be back later in the year.
Anyway thank you again for your first class recommended product and your excellent “down to earth” video instructions. They have already saved me Sixty pounds.
