1. General
Voles dig through the soil and feed on routes
and plants. Every day they are in search of
food. The Vole Trap from Gardigo is an effective
defence against voles and installed by placing
it in their tunnels.
2. Application
• Rinse the device thoroughly with clear,
warm water and leave it outside in the gar-
den for a few days, so that all foreign odours
are eliminated.
• Finding a vole tunnel: sometimes the course
of the tunnel is already apparent from the
top. It is often a straight line between two
entrance holes. In order to find the tunnel,
take a long screwdriver or small metal bar
and use it as a probe. When inserting the
probe the resistance will significantly be re-
duced if you find a passage.
• When installing the trap we strongly recom-
mend the use of gloves. This increases the
chances of success considerably and will
also protect you from injury.
• Carefully dig a hole in the area in which you
want to place the trap. Make sure that the
tunnel is in the centre and the two ends of
the tunnel are free of dirt. The hole should
be just wide enough to allow the trap to slip
in. If it is too wide the animal might try to
go around the trap. To avoid this you can
additionally make the side walls harder by
patting down the soil.
• Remove all stones and sticks which could
hinder the trap on closing.
• Place a piece of bait on the trigger plate. You
can use any kind of vegetable pieces.
• Prepare the trap. Make sure that one hand
is always on the clamping handles. This will
prevent an accidental triggering and possib-
le injury.
