Talpex Mole Trap, with Video Instructions
Our Talpex Mole Trap is the original genuine item made in the Netherlands, and they are much copied. As with many other types of traps most of the copies are vastly inferior or indeed useless. If you look at the image you can see the stamp on the tongue of the trap denoting it is a genuine Talpex from the Netherlands.
The Talpex is an excellent all round trap unless you have stony ground, in which case you may need to sieve the soil with your fingers or a garden riddle to remove the stones. We mainly use this trap for moles that will not push a tunnel trap trigger loop which is blocking their run. Fortunately this is not a common occurrence but moles can become trap shy and the Talpex solves that problem. However there is no reason you cannot use it as a main trap, and many people do. Many of our customers buy a few tunnel traps and one Talpex trap for that specially tricky mole.
An online video lasting a few minutes shows you exactly how to arm and install the trap.
You can of course buy cheaper traps. Many will have weak springs, cheap metal and poor design. Some of them come with large setting handles on top, which are totally unnecessary as these traps are easy to set once you know how!

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.
