Your videos are a massive help I almost feel like a professional myself now. Now I know what I need to do. Great work thank you
Always a pleasure to help @paulhindmarch4923
Half the skill is laying the traps, the other half is getting traps that work.
The ones we sell are the only ones we use…..so we know they work 👍🏼✅
THANK YOU, SIR! Shurely theres is a knighthood waiting for you!!
I have tried and tried and tried again… Turns out, that the important thing is the loose soil! I set 4 traps yesterday, and this morning, a 14cm big boy was caught! And right in the spine, so it didn’t suffer.
I have worked for 24 years as a pest controller (in Denmark) but just with rats and insects. So thank you again.
@brianhasenkam8607 this is awesome news and we are happy to give another string to your bow. ✅
I have moles on my allotment. Set two scissor traps on Sunday, Tues I had my first mole 👍. I am on solid clay, so have to use a couple of thin bits of wood over the top of the hole, grass over that, then soil to seal the light out. Seems to work OK. Thanks for the expert info.
That’s what we are here for. 👍🏼
you can always beef up the light blocking with a piece of cardboard with a slot cut so it doesn't impede the scissor arms. I used to use this a lot on shallow runs and it worked for me
@@bigoldgrizzly, thanks for your prompt reply.

lol ... when the missus asks me to do a job, a prompt response is about a year ;
I've got the buggers in my raised beds eating my worms, got 6 scissor traps and caught 1, but the other bugger is filling in the tunnel just before the trap, and tunneling round it, now ordered another 6 but gone for the duffers this time, should be easier to fit under the edge of the wooden beds. thanks for all the tips!
It’s a pleasure…as always.
I have a mole and a border terrier but he’s a lazy sod! I’ve just installed a trap! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼👍🏻
Good luck!
I’m out of terriers as Pinot the mole dog sadly went over the rainbow bridge. Plenty of mole traps though.
@@PestInterceptors I’m sorry to hear that.🙏👍🏻
Thanks for the video, great info. I will be trying tomorrow.. I subscribed
Crushed slag was used on fields as a 'fertiliser' to supply minerals such as phosphates.
I'm too old and arthritic to get down on my knees now and have spent this morning teaching my eldest to set traps .... we'll see how that goes ;
We are based in the Black Country. It is the home of the Industrial Revolution. There are signs of this industrialisation everywhere still to this day…even in the countryside.
Good luck with the trapping. Hope our videos help.
Bellend into the tunnel 😂👍🏻
The dog is so cute
Videos are class, deserve a lot more subscribers
Thank you. We try to get a little better every video. (The next one we use a new microphone on 🙈)
Very kind of you to say we should have more subscribers…you could always give it a share 😉
@@PestInterceptors, was going to mention the wind/mic.
P.S. I’ve subscribed. 😃
@@johnnunn8688 technology is constantly letting us down. It seems to make very little difference if we buy expensive or cheap. It’s all made in China rubbish. Amazon doesn’t really help because all they care about is selling, they don’t care if the descriptions are misleading or lies.
I think we’re on our 5th microphone now. It’s so annoying when we get everything right, only to have to delete everything because the mic or camera has let us down.
We keep trying ☺️
@@PestInterceptors, maybe contact other CZcamsrs for advice?
I followed your advice and managed to trap 2 in two days . Thank you
This is fantastic news! And a total pleasure for all the Interceptors to hear!
Thank you for watching.
Ps. The next video we are releasing is all about Talpex traps.
@@PestInterceptors Glad I’ve found your channel , I have 2 acres of paddock at home and I feel more confident in keeping pests away . 👍🏼
The dog in a high vis vest❤❤❤❤
@Hyd-mr2dz we miss her very much. She loved that hi viz jacket.
It had Pet Interceptor on the back ☺️
Your dog is cute!! lol. I'm in Illinois, US so we mostly have the eastern grey mole. Do you have many 'feeder runs' with the European moles? I see you mainly focusing on the 'mole eruptions'. Also, do you have links for the traps you use? I like those scissor trap designs as well as the loop traps you used in another video. Thank you! :) Happy Hunting!
We sadly lost Pinot the Mole hunting dog last week. She will be sorely missed.
We find some traps work best in the feeding loop, some traps in the mole hills, it just depends on the trap and the land/soil/trap.
The loop traps (barrel traps) are from Lodi based in Kingswinford, West Midlands, England.
@@PestInterceptors OH noooo Pinot! I'm sorry to hear about ur doggie!
I have used a scissor trap every year over the last 5 years and have NEVER caught a mole. I thought I may be setting it wrongly but I do EXACTLY what you do and it NEVER works. I wear gloves, find the tunnel, set it in the centre cover with soil and a bucket over the top and voila NO Mole caught. The only tome i got one was with a spade!
Lots of traps look the same as the ones we use.
Like everything though there are good makes and bad makes.
I recently bought 50 mouse traps that looked absolutely identical the the ones we usually use, they were £1 a trap cheaper.
I’ve ended up throwing them all in the bin, all 50.
So buying cheap not only cost me the cost of the traps, it also meant more waisted time. The time was a lot more valuable than the £50 saving on the traps.
Mole traps are no different. Always try to buy British. Never buy Chinese!!!
bell end love it x
The Midlands is full of bellends, sods and slag. 😂
Is there a best time of day/night to set traps?
@lawts1240 it’s said that moles work 4 hours on 4 hours off 24/7, so no, set the traps whenever you want.
The moles live in packs or are they generally the in pairs?
@bidders77 Moles are never in a pack, they are super solitary apart from breeding season.
it's so cute
Where do you get these traps in USA? The have scissors traps but you at them with your foot.
I couldn’t tell you. Perhaps try amazon?
how much would this treatment roughly cost
We price mole work like this:

What brand and model is that scissor trap?
Take a look in the video description. 👍🏼
Do moles ever go under property
Very rarely as they make tunnels to find food, the soil under buildings are pretty lifeless and don’t contain the insects they like to eat.
