Scissors for moles or voles

Bait is added to the trap, possibly a small piece of meat for a mole, an apple for a guinea pig.

The handle is clamped together so that the plate can be placed in the needle between the tentacles. The plate only needs to sit on the tip of the needle, exactly as with an ordinary mouse flap trap.

The soil is dug away at one of the tufts and the tensioned trap is set down in the corridor. The hole must be covered so that no light enters the hallway.

This can be done by placing an upside down bucket over the hole.

Soil must be piled up around the edge of the bucket so that no light enters the hallway. When the trap needs to be examined, simply lift the bucket. If the handles above the ground are close together there are no animals in the trap, but if the handles are apart then there is a profit. Galvanized.
