Tube trap for catching voles and moles alive

With the TUBE vole trap, unpleasant garden rowdies can be captured and released at the location you want. This trap is easy to use, durable and made of sturdy plastic. It is immediately ready for use, reusable and can be easily cleaned with a commercially available detergent (rinse well with clear water so that the mice are not deterred by the detergent smell). 

Find vole tunnels. In order to use the tube trap successfully, the vole tunnel must first be located and then exposed.

Position the vole trap.Position the trap in the tunnel and then close it again, leaving a small hole. The small hole attracts the animal, which falls into the live trap while trying to close the hole.

Tip: how to find and recognize vole tunnels

Vole tunnels, like those of moles, run underground. However, they are usually not deeper than 5 cm and cause crusts and mounds of soil to be raised. Compared to a mole tunnel, the latter is usually deeper and the mounds are higher than those of voles. 

Use the sounding rod VOLE TRAP ACCESSORIES (item no. 05316) to dig into the ground where tunnels are suspected to be present. If no resistance can be felt, it is probably one of the branched vole passages. Mark these places with the Windhager marker flags (item no. 05317). If these lie in the grass a few hours later, the tunnel is being used. This is where you should place your vole traps.

Voles will cover an exposed tunnel quickly while moles tend to dig a new one underneath. This is how you can tell the tunnels of voles and moles apart. 

Important information 

The trap should only be touched and baited with gloves. This also protects against injury. The trap should be checked several times a day. Please release accidental catches such as rabbits, hedgehogs, cats or similar without delay, on-site. 

Note: In some countries the mole is a protected species, please observe the respective legal regulations in your region!

Are you interested in Voles and moles?

Nothing is as annoying as the destruction of your own garden. Especially with lovingly tended lawns, molehills are particularly visible. Even voles tunnels, which are usually quite close to the surface, are visible – moreover, voles also like to eat roots and thus destroy plants.

Decades of experience in driving away moles.

The Mole Stop 1000 was the first product that Windhager brought onto the market – and is still successful, because: it works! In the meantime, the product range offers a wide variety of possibilities for mole control and the control of voles.
