    Or, never ever sub for these or any of the other twats who ring on a weekly basis offering work! Honestly unless your on your arse and are so desperate for work you'll take anything, tell em to jog on.

    Boll%%$#s! Oops, sorry, I mean I must try this! How on earth have I made a living catching moles the last seventeen years without out it?.

    It's becoming a ruddy nightmare, to the point I'm considering dropping the farm contracts next year. Try telling a farmer paying you in excess of a grand a year that you're going to be putting down non tox to monitor, then only put down bait for 28 days, but we're only going to put down stuff that's not going to possibly have the effect other bait might, they will tell you to jog on and A, get someone in who doesn't give a monkey about rules, or B, go to farm suppliers and by jaguar, storm et al, and broadcast it around like fertilizer (most likely scenario). See why Matt said stuff it an

    That's really helpful np, I was wondering about how far in to set the trigger, already attached my triggers using fishing line and crimps, but not as you said, so I'll take them apart and do again using braid, and to the correct length. (Why didn't I think of that), oh yes, because I didn't know where to put the trigger.

    Funny enough we drove the van up a couple of those mountains, as you say get out mole hills everywhere?Those gamme verte are very interesting! Lots of traps, hunting gear etc, unfortunately the wife came in with me and found stuff she can't in the UK, that got expensive!!! Shame Shropshire mole didn't tell us we were meeting up for you to sell me traps, I wouldn't have needed to go in there. Lol. Good trip, can't wait to be back in September.

    Glad to see you've all been missing me! Lol. Just got back, bought the putanges from gamme vert as suggested by nicepix, they had the crappie ones you do with your hands, they would barely kill a mouse. The real ones are pretty powerful, looking forwards to giving them a spin. Nicepix, if you look in, we did go to Ile de leron as well, see why you like it so much.

    Seen lots of queens recently, won't get too excited though till the phone starts ringing. If the weather us good end of next week the first bee swarms will be needing collecting. Hopefully nothing will happen now though before 5th June as I'm in France.

    Yep, pissing in the wind! Stop manufacturers selling to retail. Qualified persons only to be allowed to buy, and I don't mean some micky mouse one day course either.

    Working on a Sunday! Taking up traps from religious ground on a Sunday?Rather you than me. Lol. Two nights a month I work crematoriums, you would not believe how dark one of them gets on a suitable rabbit night. There is one area right at the bottom tight to the woods , called the baby garden for obvious reasons, I hate going to this bit, it seems so wrong to be there with a gun, it also happens to be a very creepy place to be at night. Not nice.

    Now that really is surf and turf! Strange combination, but probably really good.
  11. mole trapper
    Blimey JD, you setting in peat? Proper black stuff! Obviously staged though as it's a mole in a talpex. Lol
  12. mole trapper
    Well I must be an old fart set in his ways, just seems way to much faffing about, bend this build a hummock, roll up soil into balls etc etc. Dig hole, stick in duffus come back three days later take out dead mole/s get paid.
  13. mole trapper
    You ain't wrong there! Lol.We done off a five year old petting ewe that started prolapsing on a holiday park, it was blooming handsome. I was supposed to dispatch it and bury it, lot likely. Now we have two mahoosive buggers here that the Mrs named, I'll end up burying these pair.
  14. mole trapper
    Lovely stuff! My Mrs does this and it's great.Try it with marinated pigeon breast that has been flash fried, bring on the decoying over stubble with the airguns.
  15. mole trapper
    Interesting topic, must stress them terribly but it's legal so there it is.
  16. mole trapper
    Are these Talpa or genuine Talpex?Probably copies, I bought them off the bay, brilliant quality, but........

    In the mole hill! Really??? I have set them as I would a say a Fenn scissor, then trickled in fine soil under the pan and to either side of the pan to replicate a tunnel collapse, my logic being it will push the soil forwards to clear the obstruction. Pin set so fine it's scary, still mole either fills or goes round?. Think I ought to stick to my duffus, traplines and Fenn, at least I know what I'm doing with those.
  18. mole trapper
    I recently bought a couple to see what all the fuss was about, I couldn't catch a mole in one if my blooming life depended on it! Must be doing something very wrong.
  19. mole trapper
    Sheriff for me too, the Mrs uses a sheriff also for her bee keeping.
  20. mole trapper
    Yep, I too would rate them highly as boat anchors!
  21. mole trapper
    Oh my gawd, I have got to get her to make that! We were only looking at the rhubarb patch earlier and saying there's a few pudding and demijons of wine there already.
  22. mole trapper
    Absolutely agree, trouble is I'm still enjoying chasing the quid at the moment. The rare occasions the phone goes a bit quiet I think right that's it I'm selling up, then the work goes mad again and I'm like a dog with three dicks. A local business man offered me 75k back around Christmas and I told him to come back with a serious offer and I would consider it. According to my accountant the general rule of thumb as a one man band is two and a half times your annual net profit as a starting point.

    Do you think you will be able to "sell" the business? Mole Catching is quite specialized and takes years of experience.Mole work only accounts for about 25_35% of my turnover, the rest is rabbit work, black box contracts and general pest control.So yes the business is very desirable as I've got my eggs in many baskets.
  24. mole trapper
    Not !!!!!
  25. mole trapper
    Expats? If so then it's fine!Only kidding (honest)
