Mole
trap

In your box

Before you start

• Wear the gloves provided: they protect your hands and leave no human scent on the trap.
• Rub new traps with a little soil to remove the metal smell.
• Best time: September to November, then spring.

The secret: the right tunnel

1. In the evening, flatten the tunnels with your foot, between two fresh molehills.
2. The next day, look: a tunnel that has been pushed back up is active. That's where you set the trap.

Always set the trap in the tunnel, never in the molehill itself.

Set up in 4 steps

1. Locate. Open the active tunnel by hand or with a small trowel, and clear the soil blocking it.
2. Set. Open the jaws with the key, slowly and straight: pressing at an angle bends the jaw.
3. Place. Slide the set trap into the tunnel, tie the twine to the trap and the stake, push the stake in next to it.
4. Mark. Put in a yellow flag and close the hole with the clod so that no light or air gets in.

Checking and care

Precautions

• A set trap is dangerous for fingers. Always handle it with the key and gloves.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Store the traps unset.
