Great service
Looks like it should work but haven't caught anything yet.

Don't expect the mole will just craw into it
I don't have mice or vole problem so I don't know its effectiveness against such animals, but I have a mole problem and this trap doesn't work and should not maketed as a mole trap. My wife do organic gardening and the abundant worms attract moles. Having killed two with traditional loop traps I think I'm fairly competent at locating tunnels and placing traps. I thought I'll be done with the killing and gave this tube trap 3 tries but the mole would just simply block it with soil then dig around it. My guess is that as soon as the mole touches the plastic walls it decides the passage is compromised and would just avoid it and fill it up in the process. Went back to the loop trap and immediately killed the one that the tube trap couldn't catch. I have now killed 3 moles and too bad it looks like my killing days are far from over.

No Mole Yet
This trap has humanely caught 1 Shrew and 1 Mouse after installing it in a Mole tunnel. The mole has been in there twice but each time the earth it takes with it has left the trap's flaps open and the mole has escaped the trap. Didn't want to have to resort to killing the mole but that may be next move as this seems ineffective.

Our moles were cleverer than the trap
On the face of it this should have been a great, humane, solution to our mike problem but sadly the moles new my game and each morning when I checked they had simply filled it with soil. I tried numerous locations but these moles are smart. I’m sure they’re effective for done situations but sadly not for ours.In the end we found mole repellent granules worked really well for our situation.Give the trap a go as your moles may not be as smart as ours.

Simple, reuseable live capture trap that works.
The media could not be loaded. Was very simple to use and did what it was meant to do. Just make sure you put it in a nice location along and existing mole tunnel and make sure it is positioned correctly for the trap doors to work properly and fully covered to stop any light getting in.

Didn't work, flimsy trapdoor, not big enough for adult Moles
I tried to use this on several occasions to catch a mole - The mole would either fill it with mud or bend the trapdoor on it. I eventually got a mole-catcher in who said it wasn't really wide enough to catch an adult mole - a waste of time and money unfortunately.

Fantastic
Within 1 hour of having this product, mole caught alive a friendly. It’s a lot better than the £300 quoted for somebody to catch and dispatch. So a lovely little mole saved, he is digging somewhere nice now and I’m going to have a glass of wine to celebrate and of course fill in the tunnels left behind. So from me, get one, do a bit of homework where to place it and oooh I forget, a block of Cadbury dairy mill in the tunnel helped.

Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation : rien.
J'avais acheté ce piège afin de capturer les taupes vivantes et d'être en mesure de les relâcher (loin, très loin de la maison).Il n'en a jamais piégé une seule! Ni même un rongeur. Pourtant, les galeries dans lesquelles il a été installé sont visitées... les pièges tueurs, eux, ont remplis leur mission exactement là où celui-ci a échoué. Un piège tueur a eu la délicatesse de mal se déclencher et de piéger la taupe sans la blesser. Après une longue journée d'observation dans un grand pot de fleurs partiellement rempli de terre, j'ai pu constater qu'elle allait très bien et ai pu la relâcher dans une grande pâture pour vaches, qui lui convient apparemment bien puisque, depuis qu'elle si trouve, il y a plein de taupinières!!!Pour attraper une taupe sans la blesser, lorsqu'on en a le temps, il suffit d'observer le sol et de repérer où elle se trouve, puis de lui bloquer l'accès "fuite à toute vitesse". Piégée car elle doit creuser pour s'échapper, vous pouver la saisir tranquillement (et la rassurer avec des caresse).Sinon, j'ai un chien "détaupeur". On ne sait pas comment il fait, mais il les trouve (alors qu'il jouait tranquillement avec sa balle), les tue (sans le vouloir car il semble ne pas comprendre pourquoi le petit animal ne bouge plus), et attend assis, la taupe devant lui, avec son air triste et interrogatif. Dramatique, mais efficace.

Funktioniert perfekt
Wir haben es laut Beschreibung eingesetzt und nur mit Handschuhen angegriffen. Man muss darauf achten, das UP auch wirklich oben ist, sonst funktionieren die Klappen nicht und man fängt nichts....Nach 1 Tag nicht ganz hatten wir schon den ersten Erfolg :-)
