Quick help against voles
Gnawed vegetables and roots, a favourite of voles, and wavy lawn scars will soon be a thing of the past. Like a lurking predator, this trap is stuck in the earth to catch the vole when touched with a smooth movement and an enormous impact force. As soon as it touches the fork, the trap snaps shut, which can be seen from the position of the handle of the striking bow. With this innovative trap, you don't need to dig into the ground to check whether the trap has been triggered or not. The trap is easy to handle and quickly ready for use thanks to the innovative Plexiglas protection. This also prevents the trap from being filled in with soil when it is closed.
Tip: how do I 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.
Setting up a vole trap
Voles have a very fine nose. Always wear gloves as a protection against odours.
Before you put the vole trap in the upper hole of the tunnel recess, you can use a piece of apple, radish or carrot in the hole as bait. Activate the trap by pulling out the red handle (striking bow) and cover the transparent tunnel with grass and earth.
Take a look at the trap at least twice a day. A successful catch is indicated by the retracted striking bow.

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.
