Original Talpex Label

The MoleSlayer is meticulously designed and engineered to duplicate that "original" talpex. The difference is trivial -> you will not see the word "talpex" stamped within the trigger pan.

The MoleSlayer vs Victor Out O' Sight

The original Victor Out O' Sight (VOOS) mole trap is without a doubt the most widely used mole trap within the US professional mole trapping community. Oddly enough if you asked a European Mole Trapper if they have ever heard of a VOOS the resounding answer would be no. In Europe the talpex is widely used to catch their much larger and more powerful European mole.

 

So How Do They Compare?

Nearly Identical Inside Dimensions

Nearly Identical Trigger Height

The Victor Out O' Sight (VOOS) could be coined as the US version of the European Talpex. The MoleSlayer is significantly smaller, lighter (8.6 oz vs 1 lb 5 oz), and more economical than the VOOS. Because of it's larger, heavier design the VOOS requires a heavy-duty spring. This requires setting it with the aid of a separate setting tool which takes finesse and time. The trigger pin is wedged into a 90-degree bend at the end of the trigger so there is less adjustability than that of The MoleSlayer. In many respects, a VOOS's over-powering design can be threatening to the average homeowner and makes a professional trapper significantly less efficient. VOOS traps should always be covered if there is the potential for children or pets to come in contact to a set trap.

For the the mole trapper The MoleSlayer means;

  • Lighter design (15 traps = 8 lb 1 oz vs 19 lb 11 oz) -> a lighter load to carry in the field = More efficient!
  • Lower profile -> less excavation = More efficient!
  • No trap covers required (safe) -> Less to carry in the field = More efficient!
  • No setting tool required (for most) -> Quicker to set and no tool to lose = More efficient!   

The MoleSlayer makes you More Efficient and at up to 1/2 the cost of a VOOS it's a More Economical mole trapping solution!

Are All Mole Traps Created Equal?

   

Don't be fooled! The three traps appear to be identical. Not true. The trap on the left has straight legs and 14 spring turns (it also weighs less than a MoleSlayer). The trap in the middle has 13 spring turns. The MoleSlayer on the right has 16 spring turns making it the most powerful talpex on the market. Notice the curved shape of the trap legs (similar to that of a VOOS) as compared to straight trap legs. The curved shape is much more conducive to scooping the mole into the jaws. The design of The MoleSlayer will cut through very heavy soil conditions and apply an ethical and humane force. Minor differences in design can mean significant differences in catch rates!
