  1. Spilt some on its belly too. Proper Essex mole.
  2. Did you just move to the Chorley area from another part of the UK? Or are you trying to expand an existing collection of perms?
  3. The light from those screens is a real drag. You turn it off after peering at it for 5 minutes and find yourself blind in the dark. Been thinking about getting some of those gel filters in red or green, to fix over the screen and calm it down a bit.
  4. That is my point, Rez. A bit more accountability, and some basic safety principles could have prevented this. Not such a bad thing? The details of this particular incident are unknown, and I can only imagine whatever chain of events would lead to this boy dying from a pellet wound. Ultimately the person with the most questions to answer is whoever had responsibility for the weapon within that household.
  5. As has been already said there's been a few of these. How often do you hear about accidents involving kids getting blasted with 12 bores in the UK?

  7. Tragic for the kid and his family.
  8. I always carry 2 head torches. These rechargeable li Batteries don't just go dim when they run low; they die suddenly. If you've not got a phone on you with a torch app, or other means of illumination, you can be pretty screwed. Always have back up.
  9. What sort of time of night was this - when would you say the bulk of these were shot?
  10. I once used manual techniques to remove a live wasp nest from between two bales of hay - the client didn't want her horse fodder contaminated with pesticide. Never again. That was an attack that became very serious indeed.
  11. If I get a hushpower 20g Mossberg 3 shot, can this be held on a standard shotgun certificate?
  12. I baited some Snap E traps outdoors for rats with peanut butter and found them stripped clean - and I mean not a trace - within 24 hours. Reckon it must have been ants?
  13. I've never had a moment's bother from my XL8/Dr5/Michelin tyre pump combo.
  14. Shotgun out of the van window. No need for jam.
  15. Wasps are rare now! I'm going to charge £500 a pop this year in an effort to make them a sustainable 'pest' once again.
  16. Anyone got any recommendations for PL insurance. I'm just a one man rural pest controller. The premium has now crept above the £200 mark and I'm wondering if this is standard?
  17. Got a mole job on in a garden on a steep hillside. There are several springs in the area but this one runs all year round and has been piped off to duct it away down hill. There's still a permanent damp patch where it rises and this is where I set a putangue in a very shallow run that seems to come from higher ground. Two weeks on and I've taken 10 moles from this single trap. Quite a little bonanza.
  18. Seen more hornets than wasps where I am. They are definitely in decline round these parts.
