    Got to be worth a go. It's one thing getting cold hands, but when you get back in the motor and the feckers start to thaw.... I have sat more than once in a lay-by, weeping in agony. Mind you, it puts the doggers off. Which is why I weep, not wank.

    make holes at the other end and put 4 break backs in there.

    Squirrel make a helluva mess. I used to use mk VI fenns on them, till going over to body grips - I put them in ply cubbys with a slot for the spring. Easy to see when a trap has fired and a more attractive way to present a bait. What bait are you using in the pics, DIDO?

    I bought 10 peststop tunnels from Solway Feeders and they all needed tweeks. That said, they were robustly made. Couldn't call them rubbish

    I have twice been asked to sign a 'gagging' document before a mole job which states I will not disclose or discuss anything that I see or hear on site, but never for a method statement. I was told the otherday by the housekeeper for one rich customer to "turn my back" while she entered the combination on a gate lock. Is that land with public access? Or do they have race-horses on it?

    That was my gut feeling. If there was an actual warren on the permission itself, you could argue that eradicating that would have an impact, but there is no warren. Thanks for your interest.

    Its about 2 acres comprising a small vineyard, some scrubby trees, a bit of lawn, a bit of long grass. Surrounded by farmland, no proofing, no footpaths. The owners house is at the front of the property.

    I have achallenging permission in North Essex near Sudbury . The owner wants rabbits cleared off it and I don't have the time to have a serious crack at it due to other commitments. I've tried live catch cage traps to no avail. Are there any snare/trap men or serious shootists that want a go? The owner will pay for good results.

    I got one of these in .177 recently, and to be frank, absolutely hated it, and wanted to sell ASAP. Then, during an extended make or break plinking/ counseling session, I realised I was actually in love and wanted to be with her forever.

    My phone has no torch and was in the van on the day in question. I now have 2 head torches which I can charge off the old fag lighter. Next time I go into an unknown void I shall take both with me. I know I've said it before, but I cannot convey just how shit scary it is to be suddenly totally blind, like having your eyes plucked out and having a couple of lumps of coal jammed in the sockets. I went on a 2 day bender afterwards and drank myself into a stupor. I'd be bloody useless in a crisis, that I do now realise.

    Keep plugging away. Once you've got a couple you'll find they start rolling in. Perms are like money; the first million is always hard-won - after that they just keep stacking up!

    Google will let you have 1 free business listing - search 'find my business on Google' and register yourself as a Rabbit Controller or similar. It's free and you never know what might come out of it.

    I never use markers where members of the public have access to the land. Indentations on mole hills, strands of wool, white spray paint; anything that'll point me to the spot but won't catch the eye of a footpather. very wise I keep some of them trapline for those area’s, in an on footpaths as they go into the run, and sketch a small plan on notebook roughly where they are, people just can’t leave things alone, I even have a trail camera, I use in area where I expect a problem, never caught anyone with it, but it’s there,I use markers on farm ground that’s not got public access, but push them

    Got these Pest Stop branded traps from Solway Feeders. Not a design I've seen before. Are they any good? They set and fire ok.

    From my own limited experience of cage trapping rabbits and the advice of a farming mate who does a lot of it, it works best in colder weather when natural food sources are less abundant and the pressure is on the bunnies to work harder for their scoff. I had a go in June this year at a vineyard that was poisoned with them, 10 traps out for 5 days on the bounce and caught 1 youngster - useless. I have been told that if you haven't made a catch within 3-4 days to give up - you ain't going to catch a thing. I have had a lot more success in gardens with leaky rabbit proofing where the

    Well, here endeth the lesson. The guy had a job lot of tunnel traps but was having no joy. Poor choices made when it came to siting. I think he's one of these people that relishes a challenge but was getting severely frustrated by not catching anything. I gave him some pointers and then just said point blank what my charges would be if I were to catch the moles for him, and end all the heartache. Now the pupil has become the customer. Hopefully he will sell me his traps too! I didn't ask if he had a cellar or a snooker table.

    I'm getting quite excited.
  21. LuckOrJudgement
    It makes you wonder, eh? Is he a bona fide diy er, or someone trying to get a fast track into the game? Or perhaps he's an Anti trying to lure me to my death. I might end up locked in a cellar with a snooker ball stuffed in me gob....

    Just had a text from a householder asking me how much for a lesson on how to set Duffus traps. I said I can teach him that for £50, no problem, but if he wants to learn to catch moles, we are talking ££££'s !

    I got a call the other day. Lady gives me the address. She sounds kind of well-designed, well-heeled, and ina lazy moment, I Google's the place on Google maps. I see a big pad, a lawn with stripes so well defined they're visible from space. I slink down there as dawn is breaking. Just 2 mole hills and one of them sonic repeller things. I don't want to trouble the dame by knocking - I just get my gear off the van, couple of prods with the dibber and in with the traps. As I'm setting where the grass ends in a stand of lilacs, I hear footsteps behind me. It's a handy looking fellow in a silk d

    Thanks. Good call.

    Good idea. From now on there's going to be back up. I don't mind confined spaces but couple that with total blindness - never again. I could feel myself losing the plot.
