DETAUPEUR Complete Kit Case + 4 Refills Mole and Water Vole Trap | Usable in the Rain

The DETAUPEUR Complete Kit Case + 4 Refills is a pyrotechnic-type device designed to control moles and water voles. Its practical format includes a carrying case, making storage and transport easier, along with four ready-to-use refills. This set makes it possible to target several areas at once or to renew the device in the active tunnels. Built to withstand outdoor conditions, it can be used in the rain, which makes it a robust and versatile tool for users looking to protect their land effectively.

How it works

The principle of the DETAUPEUR rests on a specific behaviour of the mole: it systematically blocks up any opening it finds in its tunnels.

• When it detects the hole left open, the mole pushes a plug of soil into it.
• The feeler of the trap rises, coming into contact with the electrical mechanism.
• This action sets off vibrations inside the tunnel, which kills the mole or the water vole instantly.

The exclusive vertical triggering ensures targeted firing, reducing the risk of misuse or accident.

Setting up and safety

For completely safe use, it is essential to follow the instructions given in the leaflet supplied.

• First locate the active tunnels, recognisable by recent molehills.
• Open a passage into the tunnel carefully and set the DETAUPEUR trap in the vertical position.
• Make sure the feeler stays clear of any obstacle so that the system triggers correctly.
• Once the trap is in place, put a light mound of soil back around the rod without obstructing the feeler.

Follow the handling instructions scrupulously, as this is a pyrotechnic device. Wear gloves and keep the device away from children and pets.

Upkeep and conditions of use

The device has a power suited to eliminating moles and water voles, even in rainy weather. After each use, check the condition of the trap and replace the refill if necessary. If the tunnel stays active, you can reposition the DETAUPEUR at another spot likely to disturb the animal.

• Keep the complete kit away from damp and excessive heat.
• Store the refills in their original packaging until use.
• Before each new installation, clean the feeler area to avoid any soil residue.

By following these instructions, you extend the service life of the equipment and maintain consistent effectiveness.

Practical advice

To improve your chances of success, identify the main tunnels, generally longer and deeper than the secondary ones. You can use a spade or a metal rod to locate the runs. Set the DETAUPEUR in the busiest section, where the soil looks recently turned over.

• Check the tunnel regularly: if the soil is pushed back again, the trap must be reset.
• Alternate the setting points: the mole may change its habits if disturbed.
• Check your local regulations before using a pyrotechnic trap, in order to comply with the rules in force.

By combining vigilance with careful application of the instructions, you effectively reduce the presence of moles and water voles in your garden or on your land.
