Someone long, long, ago and probably far, far away posted where they got the little flags on the little wires that we use to mark the OS mole traps with, so people don't mow over them. I Googled and I Googled again and just can't seem to find them or how to phrase the title to find them. Anybody know where to get those flags? Would like to be able to customize them with the company logo as well. Any help would like really be appreciated.

Not who I got them from, but flags I will check the box in the Am and give you the name of the place I bought mine.

Home Depot orange flags.
I don't use flags that advertise that I have a trap attached to steal.

I don't often use flags as I like the low key approach. However on big farms where I'm doing 50+ traps I make my own from 6 inch plastic lollypop sticks and some pink duct tape. The flag is always pushed into the ground so the tape is showing. It just looks like a piece of litter.

I use the hd orange ones. I use 2 per set so clients have to try hard to run both of them over with the lawnmower. I found telling clients that without the flags I'd have no idea where the traps were also helps.

RF - Are you aware that "GOT MOLES" is trademarked? A few years ago I received a legal letter from Mark Dotson to this effect when using the phrase. However, a lot of people still use it. Perhaps I was singled out when I wasn't interested in buying a defunct AAAC franchise in SW Missouri.

We went to Lime Green or Hot Pink flags. The orange ones tended to get lost in the pile of leaves that hit the ground this time of year!

Thanks Mike did not know that about to order a new batch. Guess I will just put my name on them. Seems the whole English language is trade marked these days... Never picked up a job because of flags, also never lost a trap because of them.
