Настройка і ўстаноўка

Follow these steps for optimal trap placement using your SWISSINNO Install Kit:

  1. Locate the Tunnel:

    Insert the 25 cm tunnel probe into the soil near fresh molehills or vole mounds. Apply gentle pressure. When the probe suddenly drops with ease, you have located an active tunnel. This indicates the ideal spot for trap placement.

  2. Падрыхтуйце адтуліну:

    Using the serrated hole cutter, create a clean, vertical hole with a diameter of 6 cm (approximately 2.5 inches). The hole should be 1-2 cm (approximately 0.5-0.8 inches) deeper than the floor of the tunnel. Carefully remove any loose soil that falls into the passage or press it down into the hole to ensure a clear path for the trap.

  3. Set the Trap (SuperCat Trap, not included):

    Note: This kit is for use with SWISSINNO SuperCat traps (sold separately).

    Pull the top handle of your SuperCat trap upwards to set the trap mechanism. The red prongs will retract, indicating it is armed.

  4. Insert the Trap:

    Push the set SuperCat trap into the prepared hole. Ensure the trap openings align with the direction and height of the underground tunnel. The trap should sit firmly in the hole.

  5. Secure the Trap Area:

    At the ground surface, tightly enclose the trap with grass, leaves, or loose soil. This prevents light and air from entering the hole, which can deter moles and gophers. The trap is now ready for use.

Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

Once the trap is installed, check it regularly, ideally within 24 hours. Often, the trap will be successful within a few hours. A triggered trap indicates a successful catch. If the trap has not been triggered after a day, it may indicate no active pest in that specific tunnel section, and the trap should be moved to a new location.

Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Install Kit and traps:

  • Уборка: Clean the tunnel probe and hole cutter with hot water only after each use. Do not use soap, detergents, or chemicals, as these can leave unfamiliar scents that deter pests.
  • Handling Traps: When handling the SuperCat traps, it is recommended to wear gloves to avoid transferring human scent, which can make pests wary.
  • захоўванне: Store the kit in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Ліквідацыю непаладак

праблема Магчымая прычына / рашэнне
Trap not triggering after 24 hours. The tunnel may not be active. Relocate the trap to a new area with fresh signs of activity (e.g., new molehills).
Trap is triggered but no pest is caught. The trap might not be perfectly aligned with the tunnel, or the hole might be too wide. Ensure precise alignment and a snug fit.
Trap access portals are clogged with soil. Moles and voles sometimes push soil into the trap. Relocate the trap and rinse it with water. Consider cutting additional openings or damaging other tunnel sections to encourage use of the trapped tunnel. If the problem persists, a different type of trap may be needed.
Pests are avoiding the trap. Pests can detect human scent. Always wear gloves when handling the trap and the install kit. Clean tools with hot water only, avoiding chemicals.
