Keltin mole and vole trap guillotine 14.5×11 cm, Keltin model 5903418305321

The Keltin guillotine trap for moles and voles is a compact, mechanical capture-and-kill device designed for use in subterranean tunnels and runways. Measuring 14.5×11 cm, this trap is intended to be installed directly in active burrows where moles and voles travel. It is a reusable metal unit that operates without chemicals or bait, providing a physical method to reduce damage to lawns, garden beds and plant roots in domestic and small-scale agricultural settings.

Advantages

This guillotine-style trap offers a compact footprint that fits into narrow tunnels and runways. Its mechanical action is simple to set and reset, enabling repeated use without replacement parts. Because it does not rely on poisons or sticky surfaces, the trap minimizes the risk of secondary poisoning and does not leave chemical residues in soil. The metal construction provides durability for outdoor conditions and repeated deployments in garden and field environments.

Suitable for

• Controlling mole activity in lawns and turf
• Reducing vole damage near vegetable beds and flower borders
• Use in home gardens, allotments and small farms
• Installation in active subterranean runways and burrows

How to use

Locate an active tunnel or runway by probing or observing fresh soil mounds and openings. Excavate a short section of the tunnel to create space for the trap and place the guillotine unit so that the passage aligns with the trap entrance. Arm the mechanism according to the included instructions, ensuring the trigger is accessible to passing animals. Replace soil or cover lightly to guide animals through the trap without obstructing movement. Check the trap regularly and remove any captures promptly. After use, reset the mechanism for continued control; the unit is reusable and should be inspected for wear and cleaned as needed.

Usage recommendations

For effective results, install the trap in tunnels showing recent activity and check twice daily during peak activity periods. Wear gloves when handling the trap and captured animals. Store the unit in a dry place when not in use and inspect moving parts for corrosion or damage before redeployment.
