Instructions for care
Clean the trap occasionally with water and leave
to dry. Lubricate with odourless milking grease
if needed.
Spare parts
All parts can be replaced individually. Please
contact your nearest reseller.
Bringing misaligned triggers into the
right position
Bring the rocker into locking position (see
page 25 ). Bring the two triggers, one after the
other, in position and hold them there with one
hand. Grasp the small hook of the snapper arm
and turn clockwise until the hook and triggers are
positioned parallel to the rocker.
Functional check: set the trap and check if both
triggers (Fig. left) are positioned parallel to the
rocker (Fig. right).
Recommendations
One to two traps per burrow are suffi cient.
✔
Check traps frequently, to see if the mecha-
nism has been set off.
If a trap is often fi lled with earth, clean the
✔
tunnel and make sure that neither light nor
air penetrates into the tunnel.
For voles, no bait is required, while common
✔
voles are caught more quickly in baited traps:
attach a piece of carrot or apple to the upper
trigger.
Moles (if allowed to trap) are diffi cult to catch
✔
because they live individually in their exten-
sive (100 – 250 m) galleries. Thus patience is
needed.
Voles and moles are sensitive to odours.
✔
While the smell of humans does not repel
them, the strong odour of dissolvents, dung
or perfume does. Traps with such odours are
often fi lled with earth and need to be washed
thoroughly with warm water. Store traps in an
open container in an odour neutral area.
Trapping can be optimised if catches are
✔
protocolled and the following is observed:
•
Voles live in family groups: a male, one or
two females and 4 to 5 offspring.
•
Field mice live in larger groups. Catching
more than 10 mice in the same spot is not
unusual.
•
Moles are solitary except during the mating
season.
