    Brilliant. Those eyes ...

    True, but given time it can develop into a very useful 2nd income, as long as you keep it local, or find a free source of diesel.... The thing is to stick with it and not give up when the phone goes quiet. I have many customers who tell me they used to use so and so "but he doesn't do it anymore". Once your name gets out there, leave it out there.

    Another avenue you could consider is setting yourself up as an independent, paddle your own canoe, and have some control over the type of pest jobs you do and how you do them. It'll take you a while to get going, and you'll never get rich at it, but at least you'll still have the buzz of being able to practice a craft and present the delighted customer with the body of the rat that's been keeping them awake at night, or the mole that's been trashing their lawn. Compare this to working for The Man, hauling your sorry ass around bait station after bait station after bait station in lonely c

    Look up the RSPH Level 2 course. Most companies require their staff to either have it or be working towards it. Worth knocking on their door mate. Nothing ventured and all that. The hours may be different from the building game. Pest control can involve a lot of evenings and weekends.

    I made him wash his hands. He ain't the brightest star in the sky and quite disobedient at the best of times.
  6. LuckOrJudgement
    Great picture.

    That's some good eating. Off the fields, no sewer rat. What Christmas is all about.
  8. LuckOrJudgement
    This will make a good pie.

    I hate rat jobs. (with the exception of shooting them) and I only do them for me mole customers to protect my own interests. Holding stocks of poisons, boxes, climbing into shthole lofts etc. Horrible. If you're into your moles then other pesting activities are a distraction - apart from wasps and maybe cluster flies. I envy blokes who make a fulltime gig out of moles, I really do

    If Moley gets wise to the putangues, a Talpex is normally his undoing.

    Can anyone recommend some kit that will enable me to shoot limpets in Cancun. Going there soon with the nanny. Better to hire locally than fly out with?

    I was doing the maths meself. I reckon during an average week I loose off 50-60 shots - mostly paper punching and some pest control. That Impact would be the nuts. Basically fill & forget!
  13. LuckOrJudgement
    600 shots. That is a plinkers delight! Sounds like the ultimate airgun.
  14. LuckOrJudgement
    Brilliant rifles, 97's. Took me a while to fall in love with mine, but I now I rate it highly.
  15. LuckOrJudgement
    Is that pump genuinely good? That's helluva price.
  16. LuckOrJudgement
    They're shrinking!
  17. LuckOrJudgement
    Christ, they look well fed!
  18. LuckOrJudgement
    A rat facing head-on drinking from a pond presents a perfect shot.
  19. LuckOrJudgement
    She looks lovely, though.

    Close range ratting is great fun. I did a job in a very small garden the other week and had no choice over the range which was 7 meters. That was 2 mildots of hold over on my hw97 and Hawke 4-16 ×50 combo through a Viper. About the very minimum I can get it to focus.
  21. LuckOrJudgement
    What is it you specifically need help with?
  22. LuckOrJudgement
    I'm near Colchester - not true EA but close.

    Crikey. Bet they're popular. I sold a hand-held agri laser to a rather eccentric man who wanted pigeons off his vegetables . It works for them, I can tell you.
  24. LuckOrJudgement
    Good points well made. I use Putangues most of the time and I'm satisfied that an overwhelming percentage of the kills are humane. The only method of ensuring moles don't suffer from being foul-caught would be round the clock 24 hour monitoring - an impossibility. From a purely commercial perspective, 24 hour trap checks don't stack up either; time, diesel, etc. Mole catchers periodically get a bad press. Did anyone hear the recent phone-in on the Jeremy Vine show? A member of the public had seen a bunch of scissor trap handles sticking up whilst visiting an National Trust prop

    Can you tell em to get a move on here in East Anglia! Starting to wonder if that dry summer did em any favours.
