i expect this has been asked regular but wondering what people are charging this year, as ive been under cut on a few jobs allready ,with prices that are just plain stupid

£1.50 a mole :thumbs:

you must catch alot of moles, that wouldnt even cover half my fuel on almost any local domestic job and unless you caught a minimum of say 100 moles even on a farm job you must struggle to even break even.

 

The minimum i have ever charged is £10 a head and this was on a small farm about 50 acres i caught about 30 in a week with 3 visits so not to bad.

 

If you catch hundreds a week like on moleys dvd then i can uderstand that price but the type of mole work i do is mostly under say 5 moles a job with the majority just 1 or 2.

 

my prices are on my website, click my link :thumbs:

right ive been charging £50 thats gets you 15 traps in the ground and £25 each call after that until both partys agree the job is done ,if more than 15 traps are required a second 15 are charged at just £30 ,the bigger the job then i try and come to a deal with the customer thats saves them money ,this has been working fine for me but theres a few doing it for half that i just dont see how they can do it and make any money ?

The price of diesel wear & tear on the vehicle you got to be looking at 30p per mile, then Your insurance cost plus your hourly rate which should never be charged than the minimum wage, or whats the point may as well be cleaning windows :thumbdown:

I never give a price over the phone You could be speaking to a competitor,always look at the job first and then work out a price,I have been doing this job for a long time now and no two are the same,thats part of the enjoyment I supose :thumbs:

      Hello to the mole catchers. I only recently discovered these forums & Hunting Life. Lots of interesting stuff posted on here.
      Part of my duties as a maintenance man on a private estate is pest control and that's how I got into mole catching. I'd done plenty of rats, mice, wasps and ants etc before the mole hills started bubbling up, so I found an old Duffus in a drawer and went from there. I started doing private mole jobs last year - all gardens so far - and have started generating a useful 2nd income out of it. Just beer money at the moment but more than enough for a few pints. I like the work and am fascinated by all the different traps and their suitability to different situations. I use a lot of Traplines and I'd be interested to have other opinions on them - the good, the bad and the ugly if you like. Although I carry Duffus and Talpex, I've gotten into the bad habit of defaulting to tlines which has revealed that certain moles won't have anything to do with them - they seem to just chuck 'em out the way. They also often fire without catching. Not on every job, but often enough to remind me that there is always another tool for the job. I really like the Trapline, and I'm working on refining my setting technique constantly. Just wondered what other mole men's experiences with them were. And to say hello.

      Hi all,what does everyone use as a mole probe?I have done a search but there wasnt that much on the subject,also what do you think of the flatpack one?worth the money?

      Just out of interest......
       
      Which trap do you reach for first? You can explain why if you choose.
       
      For me, it's the Duffus every time, although I can see the attraction of the Talpex type traps.
