Why Purchase The MoleSlayer Mole Trap?

When it comes to mole trapping, having the right equipment is essential for success. Among the various options available, The MoleSlayer mole trap stands out as the best overall mole trap on the market. But what exactly makes The MoleSlayer superior to other traps?

Let's explore the key features and advantages of The MoleSlayer.

1. Precision Design: The "original" and "model design" for The MoleSlayer is the talpex of Netherlands origin. The MoleSlayer is meticulously designed and engineered to nearly duplicate that "original" talpex. The difference is trivial -> you will not see the word "talpex" stamped within the trigger pan. Every component is carefully crafted to provide maximum efficiency and effectiveness in capturing moles. 

2. Superior Quality Materials: The MoleSlayer is made of high-quality galvanized metal. This ensures durability and longevity, allowing the trap to withstand the rigors of mole trapping for extended periods. You can trust that it will remain in rust free, excellent condition, even after repeated use.

3. Easy to Set and Use: Setting up and using The MoleSlayer is a straightforward process. Clear instructions are found within the book Modern Mole Trapping. Those same instructional videos and much more are found on our YouTube channel. This allows trappers of all skill levels to quickly start trapping moles. The user-friendly design ensures focus on trapping without any unnecessary complications.

4. Proven Effectiveness: The MoleSlayer has a proven track record of success. Trappers rely on our trap to effectively eliminate mole infestations. Its design and functionality have been tested and proven to deliver consistent results, making it a trusted choice for professional trappers and homeowners alike. WE TRAP OVER 2,500 MOLES IN A 6-MONTH SEASON USING THE MOLESLAYER!

5. Ethical and Humane: The MoleSlayer is designed with the well-being of moles in mind. It ensures a quick and humane capture, minimizing any unnecessary suffering. By choosing our trap, you can effectively address mole problems while maintaining an ethical approach to pest control.

In conclusion, The MoleSlayer mole trap stands out as the best on the market due to its precision engineering, superior quality materials, ease of use, proven effectiveness, and ethical approach. If you're serious about mole trapping, investing in The MoleSlayer trap will undoubtedly enhance your trapping journey and increase your chances of success. 

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 larger and more powerful European mole and DOES NOT require a separate setting tool.

 

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 its 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 make 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 with 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! While these three traps may look identical, they are far from it. The non-traditional trap on the left has straight legs, 14 spring turns, and weighs less than the MoleSlayer. The non-traditional trap in the middle has 13 spring turns. Meanwhile, the MoleSlayer on the right boasts 16 spring turns, making it the most powerful traditionally designed Talpex on the US market. The MoleSlayer's innovative design includes curved trap legs, inspired by the original Talpex and VOOS design, which sets it apart from non-traditional straight-leg configurations. This curvature allows for a smoother, more efficient motion that prevents drag and reliably scoops the mole into the trap’s jaws. In contrast, non-traditional (off-balanced) straight trap legs create significant surface drag when triggered, slowing the trap and risking misalignment. Another advantage of the MoleSlayer is its ability to be set without needing a separate setting tool, reducing the chance of misalignment errors during setup and increasing efficiency. Its design excels in cutting through heavy soil conditions while applying an ethical and humane force. The MoleSlayer’s thoughtful engineering highlights how minor differences in design can lead to major improvements in catch rates, precision, and ease of use. Choose the MoleSlayer for superior performance and results you can rely on!
