And as a hobby? You have a fundamental decision when: With us the peaceful coexistence of me and my eating competitors is difficult as well as two-meter drop large fruit trees and the harvest almost fails. After three weeks of use, I prefer the following balance:
I needed a few days to learn the fishing method: (quickly) find holes, cut out clean, the trap position at the correct height and align, seal the hole, remove the catch promptly. Since then I have every day rat large voles in the case. The animals are taken exactly in the neck. If one wants to fight the animals, I think the case for perfectly.
Disadvantages: I've already had two moles and several field mice in a trap. The moles are protected and do not bother me (pure orchard). The small field mice are sometimes not well taken.
Why then all the stars? There are fundamental disadvantages. I can think of no better alternative: poison kills in addition to other soil organisms have natural enemies of water vole; a performance review does not exist. With cheap traps I have not caught a mouse for years. Guns expand the "collateral damage" even on people (children).
In conclusion remain the five stars.
