Dear Trap Man,I purchased 2 tunnel type mole traps to try and eliminate a growing problem with resident moles. After weathering in my traps in the compost heap and selecting two suitable areas for setting the traps. I left them for 3 days.On checking the traps I was sucessful in trapping my first mole, what a strange looking, but fasinating animal they are (bit of a shame as he looked soft and furry, but non the less had overstepped his boundary!)So for my first attempt I would say this was good going. I have re-laid another trap in a fresh looking run, just to make sure Mr mole is not working in a team! Nick

Fox trap arrived 9am the day following your delivery EMail. An excellent service, it fitted together quite easy, thanks a lot. R.E.Town

 

Rat safely trapped, transported and released within 24 hours of receiving your trap. Very many thanks for trap, prompt response to questions and advice given.
Liz

Thank you for kindly supplying the above.
our trap has been most effective.  We have a small back garden the size of half a tennis court surrounded by trees.   Since first setting the trap on 29/7 it caught 12 squirrels, before one escaped through the gap.  Again, many thanks

Hi  ,
Many thanks for your advice . I wish some of the other web retailers were half as easy to use and efficient as yourselves . FYI you ( TrapMan ) are recommended on several of the web forums I spend a bit of time on - self sufficiency & angling stuff . I'll be happy to endorse that in future .
Anyway , I've just had a chat with and ordered from Tony at Strangford - saved a bit on the carriage - which I'm sure was your intention so if you would cancel the order I placed with yourselves that would be great . I'm sure I'll be back , whether directly or via Strangford . Seems like a good bloke up there . Turns out he knows parts of Nairobi where I was teaching about a million years ago . Definitely a small world !
Cheers
Nick

Dear Sirs
Just to let you know that you forwarded our order to your agent in N>
Ireland.  He was very efficient. The order was placed last Monday and we
received the squirrel and rabbit cages on Thursday.  Regards H S

Dear Andrew

We used the trap today for the first time.

We caught 4 squirrels in 2 hours.

As far as we know these were the only 4 using our garden regularly (no doubt we shall be proved mistaken  of course),

The results speak for themselves.  Absolutely excellent.It was effective and easy to use and painless to the squirrels (whom we have released in woodland a few miles away - I know it is illegal but  we will not kill animals - hence the trap).

Many thanks.
Cheers

Hi Richard
I'm sorry you have had such a problem with this delivery, lets hope the trap will prove to be more effective than the delivery service, I'm sure it will be !

We have tried other delivery companies, Amtrak, ANC, parcel force, target, interparcel........ they ALL have their own faults.  We find that City Link is far from perfect and certainly not the least expensive but just about bearable.

Thanks for your comments they will be acted on.

Andrew, a good point.  In all of this I had overlooked that I'm trying to kill lots of squirrels!  this is the first trap I've seen that looks strong enough for the job.

Richard

Many thanks for your prompt and efficient service.

Dear TrapMan

My Mother-in-law spotted that she had mice in her garage when she was attempting to clean it out. After emitting a scream I was tasked with getting rid of them. (she said she saw 2!!!). Having 2 children they demanded that the mice be caught alive and set free and under no circumstances was I to set traps that would kill them.

I bought 2 cheap humane traps from the local DIY shed and these proved useless. The mice were obviously going in them but also getting out of them. On trawling the internet I came across your site and ordered one of your humane mouse traps.

After following the instructions I baited the trap and after 2 days caught a mouse. This was taken well away to a local wood and released. In another 2 days it caught 2 more who looked quite content in the trap and were released. The trap was re-set and another was caught and I've just had a call that another has been caught. The trap has caught 5 mice so I presume they have been in the garage a while and have bred.

I would like to put on record that the trap is first class. It works and the mice don't look too distressed when they are in there as long as it is checked regularly. My mother-in-law is now pleased that I am catching the mice but is getting a little nervous on the quantity. I know it is hard for you to say but from your experience how many mice do you think she may have. I'm sure they are not returning as I am taking them 2 miles away.

Thank you for your help and keep up the good work.

thanks

Thanks for keeping me informed, very professional and much appreciated.

I have contacted City Link and collected my package this morning. One of the traps was dinted on the short edge but I have straightened it out and it doesn't seem to adversely affect the operation of the trap.I had waited in yesterday until 1:30pm but the delivery was timed at 3:30pm.... you can probably guess City Link aren't my favourite carriers. :-) 

Very happy with your service and product ... can't wait to start evicting my uninvited house guests.

Best regards,
Ian.
Thankyou,
The delivery driver returned in the afternoon.  I heard him at the door this
time and took delivery.  Everything seems ok.

I've worked out how to cock the mechanisms without catching my fingers (some feat!).

However, would be grateful for any other advice.

received your squirrel trap this week and have trapped and released SIX squirrels in 24 hours. I can’t recommend your traps highly enough.

A small improvement would be a small metal pate for the bait to stop them digging under the trap to get the bait and perhaps a plate at the back to stop them getting their paws through te bards and nicking the bait! I have solved these problems with a sheet of plywood and a brick – but just a suggestion.

Thanks,

trap arrived 2 days ago and is now set and awaiting mr squirrel, thanks for the info

Having used your squirrel trap for a while now I feel that the design can be improved.

When the door is open and the trap is set, the door can jam against the top of the cage with the result that when the trap is triggered the squirrel escapes because the door does not close.   A thin smooth rod along the edge of the door would stop it from jamming against the top of the cage.

Three squirrels have been caught so far.   It would have been more if it were not for this defect.

 The Trap Man,  Design has been changed, but the problem was with a damaged trap

 

We were out today so I left a letter on my front door to Initial City Link to say that they can leave the parcel at our rear porch or with a neighbour but to put a note through my door to let me know where the parcel was left.
We were home about 4 hours and at about 5 p.m there was. a knock at our door. A neighbour found a package  outside of  someone's house (they were away and she was going to walk their dogs). She was going to put the parcel in their house but saw our name and bought it over. Our house name is clearly on our house. There was no name on the house they left the package. They left it at a stranger's house and didn't let me know . City Link did not leave me a note or even leave the package at MY house.
I think this is very shabby. The other people could have taken the package and kept it and I would not have known.
I think you should get in touch with Initial City Link and let them know what happened.
Regards,
Susan Thorkildsen

I have followed your instructions to the letter – washed it, put in new bait, re-sited it – and done so several times, but I have still not caught any mice.  There are definitely mice still around as there are droppings all over the place.  I don’t know what else to do.  I would really like to return them to you and exchange them for a set of 20 self-set traps and see if I have better luck with those.

I tried phoning this morning but didn’t get an answer.
Thanks
Mary Davis

I had to let you know how pleased I am with the service and the Larsen Trap I have received from you.  The confirmation/delivery e-mails were as promised and in 2 days Hey Presto! my trap was here. 
    I particularly like the concept of the trap being able to be flat packed for storage when not in use,as so easy to assemble with the cable-ties. Also the plastic coated floor for easy cleaning.

In the summer I borrowed a trap of similar design and was catching a magpie most days.  Unfortunately, the Game-Keeper wanted it back and I was using a wooden framed trap with side entry.  For the last 5 weeks I have not caught anything,hence my order to you.  I assembled your trap yesterday and this morning I was greatly pleased to be back on the catch again!

Just goes to show a magpie can't resist a great trap when it sees one!

One very Happy Customer

Hi

I bought two more multi mouse traps from you last week but so far have not managed to catch anything.  Can you help?

I already had a couple of the traps in the loft where a few mice were caught towards the end of last year but nothing since.  The new traps have been laid since last Tuesday, one behind the sofa where we found lots of droppings and the other on the kitchen worksurface, again with evidence of being on their trail. Both have also been covered on top to make them darker. We tried Snickers bar and peanut butter as bait for the first 5 days and changed it to seeds and dog treats (they seem to like those!) yesterday.  We have removed everything from our worksurfaces in the kitchen as they had obviously been running riot everywhere, just leaving the trap and they completely avoid it.  We are unable to ascertain where the mice are entering the property and they seem to be getting braver by the day.  Do you have any ideas as I really cannot continue to live like this?

We also purchased a plug-in ultra-sonic mouse and insect deterrent (I think from yourselves but really can't recall) (not from The Trap Man) last year and have had this plugged in all of the time but it really does nothing to deter & in fact seems to attract them!  Any thoughts on this?

Kind regards

Thank you for your excellent service!.  I place the order on Sunday evening and it has just arrived.

I am very impressed. I ordered a squirrel trap on Friday and it was delivered at lunchtime today (Tuesday) as promised. I baited it and have trapped my first squirrel after just 2 hours. Great service, great product.

received your product this afternoon at 2.45 thanks very much  c d

Thanks for sending the replacement gloves they arrived this time.

Thanks also for supplying the trap. I left it out for a week for weathering purposes and then opened it on Friday night. By Saturday morning I had trapped it's first squirrel. Same again Saturday night Sunday morning.

So far the trap has a 100% success rate, set twice two squirrels.

Cheers,

Having invested in Espalier section in garden, along with other reasons, am wanting to artificially and temporarily limit number of grey squirrels. Invested in 2 of your traps and baited them with peanuts, but success awaited. Having semi-resident barn owl that regularly see, blamed heavy infestation mice/voles for devouring every single peanut, rapidly. However, beneficiaries of my feeding were eventually seen through binoculars as being a small squadron of bluetits. My boxes, where they nested this year, have holes of 7/8" and checking mesh size of trap find it is exactly 1".  I love to have bluetits around and their nest boxes are topped up with peanuts because believe they overnight there in winter. Question is do you know how to otherwise lure greys into the 1" meshed traps ?  Even if majority of cage is wrapped with ½" wire, inevitable there must be some parts of trap that are of 1", seems to me.
Regards,
R B
Thanks your response, having no idea where I got the 2 things from, you are absolved from any further questions. Have dumped them and the (excellent) website of Trapman and am trying something else.

Got it today. You have made so many people here happy – a squirrel was systematically emptying out pots of bulbs and eating them.

Many thanks foe your excellent service. I received the trap next day and am hoping for results

Score so far with your trap is just one. I am having a problem with birds eating the peanuts. If the door is open Blue tits and Coal tits - which abound round here, just go straight through the door. I tried hanging some mesh inside the door flap, which should in theory allow squirrels of all but the most timid nature to gain access, but ought to deter birds. Unfortunately, the mesh from which the trap is made is sufficiently big to allow small birds to go straight through. Have other people had these problems?  If the trap were made of smaller mesh, this would stop birds getting through the side, but that would still let them in through the door. Could you design a flap that deterred birds but allowed squirrels in?

Dear Mr TrapMan,

Just wanted to say thank you ever so much. The Monarch Trap arrived 
today, 1 and 1/2 days after I placed my order. It looks very well 
crafted indeed, simple but highly effective. I'll start using it 
right away!

Have a very happy year!

Order arrived today - no phone call needed - most efficient and many thanks for that.  I will now see if I am any good at getting rid of squirrels!

have recently bought three different “ultrasonic” devices and although I suspect the creatures are not living in our attic & bird room know we are still having visitors. We are also having visits from a rat in the last few weeks.

Any suggestions please?

PS I once bought a £10 humane trap which was plastic, and they chewed a hole in it!

Dear  Sir or Madam

I have just purchased your squirrel trap and I was very happy when it
arrived so that I could begin the process of eradicating this problem in my
loft but on opening the box I discovered that a small upright above the door
was missing and another 2 bars were slightly detached where the weld had
snapped apart. I repaired it temporarily by binding it with some wire that I
found and I used it that evening and I was very impressed with the results
and the next evening when I looked the trap had done its job. On reloading
the trap, the couple of welds that were holding the door section in place
detached completely and for that reason I had to take the trap to work to
reweld the parts back together so that I can use it again. I am pleased with
the results of your trap but very disappointed with the quality of
workmanship. If I was not in the position to repair it, I would have had to
go through the inconvenience of sending it back to you.

Regards A S
Hi.

Thankyou for your quick response to the E mail I sent you about my broken trap. The transaction reference number was 1######9 but as I pointed out in my previous E mail, I took the trap to work and rewelded the front back into position and filled the gap with a piece of welding wire. So I do not require any further action to be taken as I said it is a very good kit with the gloves and the torch but I was just a little disappointed the front became detached so quickly. I have reset the trap  but until now I have not caught another one so hopefully I have solved the problem and it was only the one. Thanks once again for offering to send me another trap, it is nice to see a company take aftersales service seriously.

Regards A S

Hi There :)

Thankyou so much for the speedy delivery of my order, also i would like to thankyou for sending a mail in regards to the missed delivery (you dont get this with other companies)  I have been in touch and they will re deliver tomorrow again thanks :)

Thanks for the trap, arrived Wednesday,  it was easy to put together and was
put out that night.  The fox took the bait from the unset trap the first
night and on the second night, the trap was set and the fox caught!!  Great
job.  This "villain" has slaughtered over 20 chickens and rabbits over the
previous month so as you can imagine we are very pleased! Would recommend
this trap to anyone with a persistent fox.  Thank you.

Spoke to you last week regarding new wire for fox trap, you asked me to put
it in the email about the success of the trap and I think I forgot.  If I
did, please could we have a new wire.  Also, just to let you know that
because of the number of foxes, my dad rigged up a temporary wire (very
fragile as first fox mangled the clips) and has now caught another 2 foxes,
that is three in less than a week.  However, the last fox (a dog) has well
and truly finished off temporary wire so we do still need the proper
replacement.

Great job done - think there is one more to go but based on this last week
don't think it will be a problem!

Thanks very much.  Have recommended trap to several people as we run a
poultry club in Sussex and foxes are a real nuisance to our members.

Dear Sirs,

We look forward to receiving this trap.  Our experiences with the American edition have not been good, the squirrels take the bait but failed to set off the trap, as a consequence we now have some very fat squirrels in Cambridgeshire

Kind regards
W P T

Hi

Very impressed by the speed of delivery.  As one of your other customers
said, saying, "Thank you" for a good service sometimes goes amiss in the
high speed world we live in today.

The only thing i would have liked is to have a sheet of setting
instructions.  Other than that first class service.

Yours sincerely

M J

Squirrel setting instructions should be on the back of your invoice attached to the parcel

from: D O, Guildford, Surrey (next to NT woodland of some size)

Before Christmas I bought one of your £19.95 humane squirrel traps on-line. It arrived quickly, well-packed, and was easy to set up in our garden following the instructions.

Within 24 hours I had trapped my first squirrel.  By 20 January I had successively trapped 17 grey squirrels (they are, or rather were, a pest in our garden and a menace to our RSPB birdfeeders, as we have many rare bird species that feed, such as the Greater Spotted Woodpecker (six of them). We also trapped and killed one magpie (good, as they raid smaller birds' nests !)

We only had one near-miss: an unusually small squirrel was able to eat the bait without tripping the trap, and escaped out of it. However, moving the setting bar slightly so as to ensure a 'hair trigger' release of the door from the treadle (not in the instructions, but if you're a model engineer like I am you can work these things out), ensured success the next time the small squirrel came back to eat more peanut butter.

We now have achieved our objective of a squirrel-free garden, and I shall recommend your squirrel trap to anyone.

Oh, by the way, the thicker and the chunkier the peanut butter, the better.  Our squirrels turned up their noses at the Co-Op or Tesco brands, and preferred Waitrose or Sainsburys.

Hello Andrew

Just wanted to give some feed-back on the Humane Squirrel Trap. We have had it less than a week and have trapped 6 squirrels so far. The trap is easy to set up; we have found that smearing the top of the pressure plate with peanut butter and putting a piece of Snickers bar (also liberally smeared with peanut butter) behind it makes an effective and durable bait. Licking the peanut butter off the plate seems to give the squirrel confidence and then they lean on the pressure plate to get at the Snickers bar. Scatter a few peanuts around the trap and you have a squirrel magnet!

Overall an excellent product and great value for money.

Hi there,

If you could give me some advise with the use of the Duffus mole trap I'd really appreciate.

I bought a pack of ten from you a few months ago and on the first use we had success.

Recently, mole activity in the area (like many) has really increased and the lawn has lots of mole hills.  I have set around 10-12 traps and each one has been back-filled by the wiley little buggers: I have caught none!

Can you give me some advise as to how I can increase my strike rate and perhaps minimise the amount of traps that are getting filled?

Thanks,

Nick
Hi Nick
dig down to a horizontal run carefully excavate to expose the clear run.
set the trap and push it down into the run, make sure the catching loop(s) is below the run floor, pack soil down each side of the trap, sprinkle loose earth over and openings around the trap, cover the hole with a slate or tile to exclude light, leave for two days.

if this does not work, move the trap to another run.

if he still pushes the traps up, cup some soil into an upturned set trap and set it as above. (fill the trap with soil)
let me know. The Trap Man
You are a genius!!  I bedded the trap in to the soil and hey presto we caught a large adult male - no more hills for the time being!

Just to let you know the latest tally is 17!
I still have the same decoy bird,it is almost a pet.
The traps have been closed from before Xmas up until 2 weeks ago as I was away up North as unfortunately my father died and I had a young lad feeding the ducks and magpie.  But I did put the trap besides the duck house to protect it from the wind and covered the whole top of the trap against the weather.

When I got back 2 weeks ago, trap was back out and caught a couple of singles and then best of all a PAIR,one in each trap.  The buzz was wonderful
and now a total of 17. Amazing how another pair move in, and soon be young ones coming along too.  I have passed one I caught to a local farmer
who was most surprised to learn that I had a trap, well, it was the least I could do in exchange for 2 pedigree farm kittens for a friend with a rat/mouse problem at her livery yard.

Right, that's about all for now......but will keep you updated

hi there, received the trap yesterday and last night we caught 4 big mice which have now been set free a few miles away. i have tried various forms of humane traps and plug ins with little or no success. we are so pleased with the results so here goes for another batch tonight! we live in the country so its an ongoing problem.  thanks once again and i will certainly recommend you.   regards 

Hi there,
Just a quick  note to say thank you very much for such excellent service. We only placed the order at the weekend, and the trap came yesterday! 
We set it up last night, but have not tried your suggested bacon or kipper yet. Will get some of that tomorrow, as it seems our little friend is a bit wary!
Many thanks again,

Thank you for your delivery which we got this afternoon in good working order.

Hi,

Just thought I would let you know that I have caught all 3 little buggers…..but guess how….did they get caught in the new fandangled hi tech mouse catcher trap? Surprise surprise, NO…
These three little blighters had no intention of going into such a contraption….I waited and waited and waited and waited patiently for the little buggers to find a way into the said trap. I bet you’re really intrigued, how did I catch them without the use of your trap?
Having the patience to get to know these little buggers is how. They began to come into the kitchen round about the same time each evening using the boiler above the toaster. They would find they’re way into the cooker, into the grill pan and attack the aluminium paper sitting on the grill pan. Upon our arrival into the kitchen, they would in single file pile down the back of the cooker out of sight, but not out of mind. We would find evidence of the little buggers having been in the toaster, they ate the crumbs on the crumb tray and would leave a mess under the toaster.
One by one they were caught in seven days, gosh how did you do that without using the traps? I hear you ask….Well I’ll put you out of your misery now and forever and perhaps you  will start selling these as the new modern way to catch mice….i caught them in wait for it wait for it THE TOASTER, THE TOASTER!
What a wonderful invention. On creeping into the kitchen at about 8.15 pm I would hear munch crunch, munch crunch. I couldn’t believe my eyes when upon peering into the toaster where the sound was coming from there sitting inside was a Woodmouse, being totally consumed by his hunger, he continued to much and crunch his way through the offerings of the toaster, quickly I reached for a tea towel and put it over the top of the toaster so that the mouse could not escape and transferred him into the awaiting fish tank all ready and waiting with a comfy little house with a comfy little bed with food and water.
I caught the other two the same way. I caught the last one last night and put it into the fish tank with the other two, they are really rather quite sweet, the two others came out to say hello and thy all seemed to know one another so I guess they must be from the same family. I think there maybe one or two more, I heard more scurrying above the boiler in the kitchen, so wish me luck.
We are hoping to let them go at the weekend, take them on their long vacation to a nice place where food is plentiful and housing good.
Anyway hope this gave you a laugh,

Best regards

S

This is a brand new folding larsen trap, it has either double side entry or double top entry, Half the trap is used for the call bird and the rest is divided into two catching cages.The trap folds down flat and comes complete with instructions, this is the best larsen trap i have seen and all the previous problems associated with these traps has been addressed in this design.Made from coated weld mesh and will last for many years.

Thank you for your e-mail. I attach a photograph of my Squirrel trap. I have put a blue circle round thepart which has broken off. It should attach to the flap when the Trap is set. The last time the trap was triggered it broke off. I hope this is sufficient help for you. I am afraid that I have mislaid the invoice of the original purchase but it was ordered on the internet at the end of December or beginning of January. Paid by Mastercard
Sorry Jeff this is not one of our traps, we do not make or stock spare parts for big cheese traps, if we did supply spares for big cheese traps we would be very rich !!

Dear Sirs

I have just received my order 1######2, I am very pleased with the items,and
their quality, they are ment to last for some time, do you manufacture a
smaller version that perhaps will go in cupboards or at least in confined
area's

Many thanks A C
I've tried all you suggest with the result that the bait gets eaten and the door is closed behind them! I came to the conclusion that we had mice and not glis-glis, so I bought a simple humane mouse trap which did yield some results, i.e. 3 mice in 3 nights!

In view of the above I would like to ask you to accept the return of my ferret trap and give me credit on a humane multi-mouse trap, which is what I really need at this stage
Just send it back with a print out of this email and I'll arrange to send a multi mouse to you by return.

Unbelieveable!! 

Your humane mouse trap was delivered to me yesterday and I baited this overnight with some peanut butter and blue riband chocolate biscuit.

This morning there were 4 mice in the trap, which have now been relocated.

Based on these results I would certainly recommend this product

We are a local rescue group and we recently bought a trap from you. Not only
did we find the price very reasonable (a must as we have limited funds) but
the service was excellent. We needed to trap a young cat that had recently
had kittens. Although sadly one kitten died mummy and babies are now happily
reunited which would have been impossible without your trap, A heartfelt
thanks to you and your staff from Fur and Feathers Kent.

Hiya, just to let you know the order was delivered today and I am very happy with the goods.
Thank you

Fox traps are NOT designed to catch badgers.

Hi,

Just wanted to say many thanks for the quality product and great
service.   The score as of today is Squirrels 0 , Me 3 !! It took a
little time to find the best position and bait but three straight
catches and no near misses gets the trap a big thumbs up from me
although I doubt the squirrels would agree. Hopefully that's the whole
family out of the roof at last but needless to say I'm keeping a
careful eye on things up there and will be ready to repel further
boarders if necessary before sealing the hole when it's all quiet.  A
very surprising amount of serious damage in such a short time :(

Thanks very fast delivery owl looks great he should be a hoot

Thanks for the update.

I'll tell the rats to get their bags packed as they are about to go on a long journey

Hello there,

Firstly thank you for the speedy delivery, two days sharp!

I got my humane mouse trap yesterday and placed it beneath the sink as it is where I have seen the mouse droppings, not actually seen the mouse....thanks god! and put some hazelnuts and water but my mouse still in the loose. Could you tell me if it takes a while before the little fellow feels tempted to get in? can I maybe place something more temping in the box? I am guessing this is a very tiny mouse (my cat dragged it in as it's happened before but on the other two occasions I was at home and caught them on the spot) and I am concerned if it is too light to actually move the ramp down and get in, could I please get some advise as it's been almost a week since I got this house guest and it's making me very anxious. I want it out!!

Many thanks and kind regards,
L

Dear TrapMan

I should like to comment on the advice on your website concerning trapping squirrels & suggest some simple but very effective alternatives for baits & locations.

The baits which you suggest attract other mammals & birds. They also degrade quite rapidly & can be "messy" to use.  Ideally a durable "Squirrel-specific" bait is required.
I have found that hard-shell nuts fill these requirements ideally to the point where they seem to act as Squirrel attractants!  I have found that 3 or 4 old Xmas nuts like hazels, almonds, walnuts are excellent & at this time of the year nectarine & peach stones are very good alternatives. I expect that in the autumn "conkers" will be equally effective since squirrels bury them all over my garden!  I place the nuts on a small lid or dish in the trap.

I have found that by far the most effective location for the trap is close to a bird feeder since squirrels are very partial to peanuts. In my garden the trap is below a bird feeder against the house wall & only 2m from the back door.

I was under the impression that there were only 2 or 3 squirrels in the vicinity of my garden. Since April I've trapped 17 of the beggars----5 in the last 7 days, 11 in the past 3 weeks! No other species have been trapped by accident.

Perhaps this info will help others who are determined to reduce the grey squirrel menace.

Hi,

With your advice on setting mole traps, I’ve got the bugger (at last!).  Now his mates moved in so off I go again.

Anyway the point of the email.  On the page http://www.trap-man.com/mole-trap-catching-hints.htm you say “ I'm not sure about the latest type of electronic mole deterrent devices, but I suspect that you might need a lot of these (and even more batteries) to cover a large area”

I’ve tried these and they just don’t work what so ever.  I followed the instructions and had 2 in a 30m x 10m garden for 6 months.  The mole even made hills right next to them.  They ‘may’ have worked for a few weeks to begin with, but I’d guess Mr mole gets used to the vibration/noise and carries on regardless.

Cheers,
Gary Robson

bought a squirrel trap in spring and have put it to use over the last 3 weeks and am delighted. 27 in 13 days. Had some dificulties in getting started (now us an neigbours garden) but very effective trap. I use frozen turkey slices as bait but must be fresh for some reasonif if it dries out they dont want to know! The squirrel trap too is brilliant. Loaded with a bird feed fat ball hung inside the trap using a paper clip and they flock to it, 17 in 10 days An advantage is that the complete cage can be picked up, inverted, and is a nice fit into a standard kitchen swing-top bin. All in all great products.

trap delivered Tuesday mole dead Wednesday thanks will recommend your trap Barry  

Thank you so much for your reply and your excellent website!  I have been at the end of my tether!  I have actually just spoken with one of your distributors - shooting shack retail, and they are coming to see me tomorrow evening, and are going to deal with this problem for me!  (as much as I hate these magpies, I could not destroy them myself!). 
So again - thank you!

Hi

Just wanted to thank you for your very prompt service in getting two traps to France.  I ordered them last Monday and the delivery should have been on Friday (but we were out) so we got them on Saturday.  I wish everyone was as efficient!!

Traps look fine and I shall wait and see how well they work!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you ! - the mole trap was a success - now we can restore the lawn !

Morning

I bought a fox trap from you last week.  I know you said it was not for a dog, but that's why I needed it.  My dog was too scared to be caught by any other means.

It worked absolutely perfectly!  Wonderful - many thanks.

Hi,
I received the trap yesterday and caught my first loft-dwelling squirrel tonight, a youngster who had managed, at the first try, to take the bait without setting off the trap! So I tried attaching a bit of Snickers to the treadle with a paper-clip, as your instructions suggest. Bingo!! I caught the mother with another trap on Saturday, but only your trap has been sensitive enough to catch a juvenile. I'm hoping to catch its sibling tomorrow! Delighted with the product - easy to set, very quiet door closure, large carrying handle, no chance of catching the squirrel's tail and it works! Thank you very much. I'm feeling better already!
Kim Forster.

Hi, Thought you'd like to know that I followed your advice and caught another, larger squirrel this morning. Thanks. Here's hoping there's not many more to go!

Dear Trap Man Company

YOU ARE ABSOLUTE DARLINGS.   I really do appreciate all the trouble you have gone to, despite the fact that none of it was your fault.   SEUR should not be able to constantly get away with their sloppy attitude.   £15 can go towards the next trap, should we need another.

We have so far we have caught 3 cats, but last week they managed to eat the food & get out!
Hopefully, we can make a little improvement to the animals in this area, who suffer dreadfully.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Y

Thanks very much for this quality of service. I didnt expect you to send me another one as it was the fault of the courier. With regard to your earlier email, I'm sorry but I put the courier damaged trap in the bin yesterday and it's on its way to a landfill by now.

I will be showing my trap to my neighbor, who has a similar rodent problem to me at this time of year, and will pass him your company details.

Sorry for for any bother this has caused you.

Regards

Hi there

I received my humane mouse trap today.  It was delivered to Tesorillo, Spain post office as we had agreed.

Thank you very much

Hi there,

Success a week ago, though it's a bit difficult knowing where the lil' bustard's head is when one is hitting the jute bag.  I used peanut butter as instructions advise, placing it on the treadle.  I then watched and seethed while a furry invader checked it out, went inside, and proceeded to lick all of the peanut butter off the treadle, with its tail sticking out the end of the trap.  Just as I was about to take video of this I figured out how to really make the trap work: They've got to step on the treadle, so I put a few nuts and suet past the treadle.  This tripped the mechanism.  I returned home an hour or so after setting this up to find my prisoner awaiting despatch, and took care of him in the following manner:

1. Place jute bag round end of cage where plastic door is;
2. Pull door up and open - squirrel rushes into bag;
3. Grabbed end of bag to assure its closure and trapped vermin;
4. Try to hold it down and bang away with hammer.

When I was finished with this awful-but-necessary business I looked down to find that my left forearm had been scratched rather badly by the little $%&, with some blood resulting.  Flushed with alcohol then water, repeat.  Bandaged up, and a tetanus shot the next day at the clinic, and applied Savlon for the next week or so to help avoid scarring.

1. Place jute bag round end of cage where plastic door is;
2. Pull the door up and open - squirrel rushes in;
3. 2x4 down to keep squirrel in bag, pull trap away;
4. Hold 2x4 down, grab hammer, bang away.

Along with the instructions above I would advise a revision to your instructions along these lines, but most of all add the line, "WEAR LONG SLEEVED CLOTHING".  I've already got elephant-skin gloves but in my enthusiasm to get it over with had forgotten to put a long-sleeve garment of any kind on.  Thoughts about werewolf movies resulted, and a craving for nuts.

The trap was left out in last week's rain, and then hosed off as well when I was going to use it again.  While there have been occasionally workmen at the back-of-house - this is a 60ft-deep garden - none of the remaining three squirrels have gone for the bait.  Is it possible that in his panic the first squirrel sprayed the trap enough to send a warning to any others in the clan that might approach?  They haven't even come close to sniff at it, and I have put it round the garden in various places to no changed effect.

Thanks in the meantime, only three left.

Regards
S G

I am very impressed. I ordered a squirrel trap on Friday and it was delivered at lunchtime today (Tuesday) as promised. I baited it and trapped my first squirrel after just 2 hours. Great service, great product.

I had to let you know how pleased I am with the service and the Larsen Trap I have received from you. The confirmation/delivery e-mails were as promised and in 2 days Hey Presto! my trap was here. I particularly like the concept of the trap being able to be flat packed for storage when not in use,as so easy to assemble with the cable-ties. Also the plastic coated floor for easy cleaning.

In the summer I borrowed a trap of similar design and was catching a magpie most days. Unfortunately, the Game-Keeper wanted it back and I was using a wooden framed trap with side entry. For the last 5 weeks I have not caught anything,hence my order to you. I assembled your trap yesterday and this morning I was greatly pleased to be back on the catch again!
Just goes to show a magpie can't resist a great trap when it sees one!
One very Happy Customer

Dear TrapMan
My Mother-in-law spotted that she had mice in her garage when she was attempting to clean it out. After emitting a scream I was tasked with getting rid of them. (she said she saw 2!!!). Having 2 children they demanded that the mice be caught alive and set free and under no circumstances was I to set traps that would kill them. I bought 2 cheap humane traps from the local DIY shed and these proved useless. The mice were obviously going in them but also getting out of them.
On trawling the internet I came across your site and ordered one of your humane mouse traps. After following the instructions I baited the trap and after 2 days caught a mouse. This was taken well away to a local wood and released. In another 2 days it caught 2 more who looked quite content in the trap and were released. The trap was re-set and another was caught and I've just had a call that another has been caught. The trap has caught 5 mice so I presume they have been in the garage a while and have bred. I would like to put on record that the trap is first class. It works and the mice don't look too distressed when they are in there as long as it is checked regularly.
My mother-in-law is now pleased that I am catching the mice but is getting a little nervous on the quantity. I know it is hard for you to say but from your experience how many mice do you think she may have. I'm sure they are not returning as I am taking them 2 miles away.
Thank you for your help and keep up the good work. thanks A H

We used the trap today for the first time. We caught 4 squirrels in 2 hours. As far as we know these were the only 4 using our garden regularly (no doubt we shall be proved mistaken of course), The results speak for themselves.
Absolutely excellent.It was effective and easy to use and painless to the squirrels (whom we have released in woodland a few miles away - I know it is illegal but we will not kill animals - hence the trap). Many thanks.

Dear Sirs
Just to let you know that you forwarded our order to your agent in N> Ireland. He was very efficient. The order was placed last Monday and we received the squirrel and rabbit cages on Thursday.

Just received your product this morning Thank you for your prompt service and delivery. Yours K.B

Rat safely trapped, transported and released within 24 hours of receiving your trap. Very many thanks for trap, prompt response to questions and advice given. Liz

dont be so flippant you a**e hole, i have been an internet user for ten years, I will of course report your poor service ( i work for B******g & D*********m environmental control). I do hope your business gets what it deserves, AE
subsequently ordered online (although the office didn't want to accept his order)

Hi Andrew, Just wanted to say thanks very much for sending trap. It arrived Friday and is now in use. Thanks again. Regards J (Arch)

I thouht you’d like to know that within a couple of hours of setting the squirrel trap with a peanut butter covered walnut I caught a female grey.
Thanks Good service and good product.

Hello, just to let you know that I received the traps today & wanted to thank you for a really excellent service. Thanks again P B

Many thanks, Trap has arrived - assembly couldn't be easier - nice product CF

I just wanted to say thank you for my order which I received today.
Mrs P F. Kidderminster

Thank you I can report that the mouse in the front room was caught on the second night , also put trap in next room and one in there also. Thank you for making something that worked. Both mice are happy in a small copse on Lincoln common. Thank you Chris

Superb delivery time, many thanks. Squirrel sighted, trap set and first one caught within 20 minutes - brilliant. T H

Dear All
We live in a society where nobody says thank you anymore - so I wanted to put that right by saying a big thank you to all concerned in the above order no. From the start of the transaction to the arrival of the cat trap in Spain the service was exceptional.
All my emails were answered promptly and with courtesy. I know you probably don't have contact with DHL direct but again the delivery service was superb. My friend in Spain can now trap the local feral cats, have them neutered and return them to their surroundings knowing that the cat population of her area will be reduced.
Once again thank you all so much
Kind regards
M O'M

Just a note to say fantastic service - delivered next day after order. Our errant cat has now been recovered from her lair under our shed.

I thought i had one or two suirrels damaging my oak trees. I set my trap and caught one every day for two weeks ,what a success! I did nearly lose my trap when before checking in the morning it had been dragged 100 yards and thru a hedge by who knows what. Visitors Name: simon c

Probably a fox, secure the trap with a stake or tie it to an immovable object

Here is a log of my experience in buying the Folding Rabbit Trap, good and bad. There are a few points you might wish to address for future customers.
1 Enjoyed the web site and like another customer was impressed that user comments were printed whether favourable or not. Slightly worried that only one other customer as far as I could see had tried the rabbit trap but I had a rabbit problem and the folding rabbit trap seemed to be the solution.
2 Had some difficulty ordering the traps as at one stage I got diverted onto an American web site. Placed the order at the second attempt.
3 Traps arrived about a week after placing the order and was I pleasantly surprised at how small they folded up.
4 Opened up the packaging and looked for the instructions. Not that I am the sort of person that reads the manual before assembling but it was not immediately clear how it slotted together to set the trap. Also I was not sure that I had correctly fitted the non-moving end. No instructions were included.
5 Went to the web site for instructions. No specific mention of the non-moving end panel but there was a photo of the assemble cage with invitation to click for a larger picture. Unfortunately got a "404 error" message- picture not found. The small picture suggested a more vertical set up for the non-moving end than I had managed. It seems that the prongs should fit into the last set of mesh holes but the best I can manage on one is two from the end and three from the end on the other, which reduces the space for the bait. Hope it does not impact on the success of the trap.
6 Printed off instructions for setting the trap. It ran to 4 pages, padded out with non relevant garbage, which was quite unnecessarily long and non user friendly. And it lost part of the text because it runs wider than A4 Portrait. Printing it in Landscape is much better but still 4 pages (or to be more precise 3 plus a bonus blank page). Tried to cut and paste it into Word in order to have a one page manageable version but the web page was protected by a copyright device that I have never seen before which prevented cutting and pasting. It made some comment about needing the express written consent of the copyright owner and that “information on the Trap-Man downloaded may be used as reference material by the person to whom it was downloaded for their use only”. Yes, that’s me- I am the bloody customer and that’s what I am trying to do and you are making it difficult for me. You’d think I was trying to hack into the NASA web site! What is so top secret? Why can I prin! t it in an inefficient way but not in an efficient way? This is ridiculous. If no instructions are to be sent with the trap, you really ought to have a printer friendly version of the instructions on the web site. And tell people to print the instructions when they order rather than have to go back to the site at a later date (which might be quite impractical if there is no internet connection where the traps are being used).
7 Wondered why one trap had a convenient carrying handle to keep “your finger's out of harms way” (sic), whilst the other nconveniently, did not? could my fingers now be in harm’s way?
8 Not yet having caught my first rabbit, (and being totally new to this sort of thing) thought that some sort of advice about how best to open the device with rabbit inside might have been helpful. Perhaps it will not be a problem.
9 Four day later and it is still not a problem. No rabbit has yet ventured into the trap. I refreshed the carrot yesterday but that hasn’t tempted them. They sit on the lawn and laugh at me. Fortunately the cats are proving more effective and have brought me two dead ones! I will let you know when I get the first success! DS 24/6/2005 Visitors Name: Don Shore from: web page form

Excellent delivery service, amazed that we ordered our trap after 8pm, got a confirmation email within minutes and the trap arrived before noon two days later. Just need the little beggar to oblige and we will be over the moon. Trap is so easy to set aswell not like things I've seen offered by our local council - they were as vicious as Arkwrights till in 'open all hours'. Ian H

Thank you for your exceptionally prompt and eficient service.
I had browsed your website thoroughly before placing my order and I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of a small number of dissatisfied customers on your feedback page. More than any other factor, this persuaded me that I should order the trap from your company, rather than one of yopur competitors. Your responses to these dissatisfied customers, coupled with the massive amount of extremely satisfied customers, indicated to me that your company was a reputable one.
The squirrel trap arrived the day after I had placed the order, just as you had promised. Since the infestation is in an utterly inaccessible part of my loft, I set it up the same evening at the closest possible location - which is about 10 feet away from the nest. Following your advice, I baited it with peanut butter, as well as a handful of dried cat food for added odour. Next evening, I had caught a very healthy, plump female squirrel. Never having seen an adult squirrel close-up before, I had not realised what attractive creatures they are - it is only a pity they do so much damage. I have now reset the trap, since I believe there are several more "just waiting their turn".
Although I noted from your feedback that your customers reported success within 24 hours, I was really rather dubious due to my particular circumstances. How pleased I am to have been wrong! I shall have no hesitation in recommending your company whenever appropriate and you are, of course, most welcome to use any part of this email as you may see fit. D B M W

 

Thanks very much the Traps arrived at 4pm 17-5-05, ruddy marvelous service thanks very much

Hi
Many thanks for your very prompt delivery of the trap. Within 24 hours of setting the trap baited with peanut butter I had caught one small / baby squirrel. After resetting the trap I came home from work a further 24 hours later to find an adult and two small squirrels caged within the trap.
Hopefully we can now get some sleep after removing the squirrel population from my loft.
Many thanks from a satisfied customer N H

Hi Mr Trapman,
Thank you for the trap, it arrived ok and my husband is very pleased with it

Hi Andy,
Just to let you know the multi-catch mouse traps and wind up mouse trap are still catching well. We're looking forward to the results we're going to get from the family catch rat traps and folding fox trap. Your service is second to none and trap build quality is excellent. can you let us know as soon as you have more wind up mouse traps available.
Buying from you again soon!

Duly received rabbit trap yesterday – thanks for prompt and efficient service

Absolutely fantastic !!
The squirrel trap arrived the next working day after being ordered and within 3 days I had caught the pest !!!
Previously I'd bought untrasonic devices etc but to no avail ... This squirrel trap was fantastic .. after a few months of being driven mad by the noises in the loft, the damage to the soffits etc I have removed the culprit thanks to your wonderful human trap. It's extremely well made and without doubt is the best £30 I have spent in a long time .. as suggested, peanut butter was used as the bait along with a few nuts placed behind the treddle ... success ....... THANK YOU
A W

Thank you for such a prompt service .. I received the trap earlier this morning and considering I didn't order it until Friday afternoon I'm amazed .. next working day is very impressive.
Kind Regards .. I hope it works as fast as your delivery was !!!

Trap order was received today - many thanks for the speedy delivery. Off squirrel hunting now !

Thanks again, J B

Hi Trap Man. Thanks for the very quick delivery of my mouse trap. Caught one later that night and it looked like a very healthy specimen and not in the least distressed by the experience. I was really happy and drove out to the countryside to give it a new home. However, when I opened the box, it managed to hide in the wee tunnel areas and totally refused to come out. Had to leave the trap there overnight and go back for it in the morning. Any hints on ways to lure them out as I am worried that I was freaking the poor wee soul out? Many thanks Su

Just thought I would mail you and let you know my trap was delivered this morning and it caught my first squirral within 30 minutes. 1 down 2 more to go!
Brilliant Thanks again C R

Brilliant. I caught a mouse within three hours of setting down the trap. Since then I've not had much luck. Is is better to keep moving it around or keep it in one place? And should I wash it in case it has picked up my scent? Also, the mice I am after are little dark-brown field (?) mice. Thanks for a great product. cheers jim

Give it a good clean and Move it to another place

thank you for your excellent service - trap arrived today as promised. Let's just hope we can now rid ourselves of some of the pesky things!
