I have voles. What size traps should I get for NC
800462
Voles are smaller than gophers so the larger traps are to big. You may want to go with the idea that MS had and get the 6 pack mole traps.

Sorry, I have no idea if mine were voles or moles. Either way, I did not have have any luck with these traps. I really had great success with: 6 Pack Revenge Mole Traps Package of 6 TrapsSold by PCSOUTDOORSJust my experience.

I didn't realize that there were different sizes available. I've never used the ones that I ordered because I theorized that the traps were more designed for gophers.

Based on what I know about voles, the Mole trap is definitely the most appropriate size, however, I did a quick search and some recommend mouse traps. I have never experinced the challenge of voles so this recommendation is based strictly on size. The Cinch mole trap opens to about 2" which sounds about right for vole runs. However, I don't know how this trap will work with voles - these work for gophers because they have a strong desire to close tunnels once you open them and insert the trap.

I trapped raccoons, possium and skunks never an otter. I have caught 33 raccoons in the duke traps, very well made.

The size is 5 1/4 x 8. They're great for catching bugs but the mice are able to free themselves by morning leaving only gray fur behind so I returned them and have ordered another brand. Hope they work better.

Katrina,There are two traps. You willremove the smaller from the larger and use separately. Jim

Yes, I use them for voles in my yard and garden beds. I caught over 20 last year. I complement it with mouse baits in my ivy and edge of my yard that abuts some woods.

The bigger one (I have used this to catch baby rats) is Havahart 0745 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Chimpunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel Trap. It works great!

I agree. This works great for gophers. I had to buy 2 sizes as the smaller size caught some, but other critters were too big and would trip the trap before they'd get into it. Once I sized it correctly, they're great. You could try for ground squirrels, but get the biggest size.

I have 1400 sqft single floor and am running two traps. we're in north carolina after a ferocious outbreak of fleas (... since an overnight vet visit for surgery) - getting 7-10 per trap per day (plus every other day vacuuming and cat is on week 3 of flea treatment). i think every two day vacuuming (and emptying bag each time) plus treating the animals works best.

Yes it is a big trap. In fact, the trap is too big for most gophers in Southern California. The trap looks bad-ass. However, I've tried it twice unsuccessfully because I think my gophers are too small. IO get them with my other traps. :)

For best results I would recommend checking with the manufacturer at http://www.havahart.com/store/live-animal-traps

Well I don't know. I am in Alaska and the squirrels we have seem a bit small. If the grey is smaller then yes, but otherwise I might go for a larger size. The trick is that it must me large enough so the squirrel can enter easily, without setting off the trap before they get fully inside, but not so large that they will not set the trap door because they don't weigh enough.

17.5 X5.5 X5.5 I had this trap for 10 years until a Racoon trashed it. The new trap seemed like the rods on the setting end were not ground down properly. Couldn't get the sensitivity set properly.

I have caught field mice, Voles, Chipmunks, One time a frog, regular mice. This trap is good for all small critters. After they get caught in the trap you can take them to a safe place to release them.

They are too small fr a squirrel ; I had a trap outside that was dragged around in the leaves prob by a squirrel but it got away ...our intended targets ( snakes ) avoided the traps but we have since used them fr mice ...

The holes are 7/8" square with rounded corners. I don't know how big your mice or voles are. Works for rabbits, squirrels and weedeaters.

The traps are just big enough for 2 field mice;however once 1 has been trapped it's not likely another will attempt to go in for the food. These traps work extremely well , and fast. Put a little bit of peanut butter on a small piece of a cracker, place it inside the trap. Then smear just a hint of the peanut butter on the outside of the door. I suggest you purchase several traps and spread them out...check them often!! Empty the trap w/each catch...then put them back again for more. (make sure there is still bait.) I caught 4 mice in as many traps w/in 1 hour of setting them up..as soon as the lights went out.

I just use the mole traps. Not the gopher ones. We have moles and mophers or thats what the locals call them. They are cuter than moles. But more destructive. It takes two traps per hole so one trap won't work.
