Caring for your EasySet Mole Trap

Your EasySet Mole Trap is a precision made item, and should give you many years of untroubled use. However, just as with any other valuable tool, regular cleaning and exercise will ensure it remains in tip-top form.

The main issue with any subterranean equipment is the chance of it becoming jammed or damaged from the ingress of moisture, soil, grit and stones. Even when not being used, dust can gather in the trap’s mechanism and affect its operation, and we therefore recommend that you follow these care instructions:

Before each use:

• Check that the trap triggers easily and quickly. If it does not, it can sometimes help to repeatedly depress and release the plunger to ‘exercise’ the springs and effectively loosen things up a little.

After each use:

• Thoroughly clean your trap by washing out in a bucket of warm soapy water, then rinse.
• Repeatedly depress and release the plunger to ensure it triggers easily and quickly.
• Allow to dry and store in a dry, dust-free environment.

Caution:
We advise you not to apply oil or other lubricant to the trap mechanism. Moles have an aversion to strange smells, and after a period of time the residue from a lubricant can become sticky and attract dirt and grime – creating a bigger problem than you might have started with.
