The Bavarian wire trap is a classic among the animal traps

  • made of copper-plated steel wire
  • very catchy
  • bait attachment possible
  • tried and tested millions of times

The burrows of the vole or mole runs just below the surface of the lawn, so our trap can easily be placed in one of the burrows of the rodent.

Ideal for protecting your garden from unwanted voles or moles!

In order to get rid of the voles or moles as quickly as possible, it is best to set several traps at the same time in different aisles of the rodents.

Voles and moles have a very sensitive nose. Be sure to wear gloves to protect against odors and your hand.

The trap made of copper-plated steel wire is quick to set and can be used again and again.

 

 

 

 

WHERE TO BUY MOLE & VOLE WIRE TRAP?

How to use Mole & Vole Wire Trap

1.) Only lay traps in tunnels that are straight and have no branch tunnels. Use a pair of traps to increase the chance of making an early catch. Dig a rectangular hole 20cm x 20cm down into the tunnel splitting it in two and exposing two openings (see A). Widen the first 7cm of each tunnel opening so that a trap can be inserted completely. Remove any loose soil.

2.) To catch voles, attach a piece of bait (raw carrot, celery, potato) to the trap's sliding adjustment ring (a.). If trapping moles, do not use any bait whatsoever. To set a trap, squeeze its two long arms (b.) together to compress the spring, slide the adjustment ring (a.) towards the end away from the spring and secure the arms together by hooking the peg on the ring under the kink in the the lower arm (c.). Then, for maximum sensitivity, carefully pull the ring back until the peg is only halfway across the kink.

3.) With the large fixed ring forward, push a trap into each tunnel leaving just the spring exposed and secure the trap using a stick, or rod pushed through the centre of the spring. Refill the hole with soil. Usually several voles inhabit a single tunnel system. Moles normally live alone.
