The simplest gattoopers with their own hands

Moles are very cute, but rather malignant fauna. They do not eat plants, but they bring considerable damage to farmers. While searching for earthworms, which serve as the main food for blind rodents, moles damage the roots of plants. If several families have settled on the plot, they can completely lime worms, which are producers of humus. The piles of land that moles throw out when digging, the site does not adorn. Getting rid of small pests is difficult: they rarely leave areas where there is enough food. It remains only to scare or catch them and carry them away from their garden or garden plot. In order to catch a mole, you need a special gag. Buy a ready-made product in the shops for gardeners. Usually it is a pipe, at the ends of which are fixed movable flaps. They open inward and work so that the mole can enter the pipe, but to get out to it the flaps interfere. Similar gattoons with their own hands can be assembled from metal pipes or hard plastic. Sometimes traps for catching moles use traps of small sizes. The complexity of their use lies in the fact that moles, unlike mice, do not eat food that can be set as bait. The way to catch the trap is too cruel: moles often break bones, after which they die painfully. Hunting traps are difficult to install in wormholes. For hunt for moles, it is preferable to use crochets made of improvised material or bought in stores. Of course, it is worth considering that the purchased traps are more reliable than the crooks, made with their own hands made of wood or plastic. However, both of them may need about a dozen, so self-made devices are more economical. The simplest of them does not cost anything: it can be made from an old saucepan.

The Simplest Trap

Such krotolovki, made with their own hands from unnecessary kitchen utensils, are installed simply. They find a move, an old saucepan (jar) is placed under it, so that the animal running down the aisle falls into this container. You can, of course, make a gag with your own hands from old children's toys, wooden bars or wire, but these items will require special skills. Catch the same mole in the soup tureen without help, can even a woman.

How to install a gendarme:

1. Traps are best set in the morning. To install the "pipe", you need to rake up the soil with the hands, where there may be a move. Inside to insert the trap so that it does not fall on the ground and does not interfere with the progress of the dampers.
2. To establish the mop-heads, built with their own hands from pots, it is necessary to a depth of 5-20 cm.
3. Moles are very sensitive to sounds and smells of animals. Therefore, it is necessary to install traps or traps in gloves and clothes, which does not smell of tobacco or perfume.

Methods to combat moles

Before installing traps, you can try to scare off moles. Ready-made scarers are sold, and self-made can be made, for example, from a plastic bottle. For this, a small plastic tube is digged into the ground below the molehill. In the bottle, cut the bottom (not completely, but slightly more than the diameter of the tube). In the lower part, the windows are cut and the plastic is bent so that the blades are formed. Push the device on the tube. The bottle will spin from the wind, fight against the tube, and vibration will scare off moles. If the animals are not scared, then the crocodile is useful. With our own hands, as we found out, it's easy to make.
