Fckin simple mate, other contractors go on with full tank of fuel and leave with full tank, this is the norm..

 

Why should it be any different for me????? leave with same ammount of traps i go on with....

 

Suppose its down to trust, like most things in life if you dont try and take the p*ss....

Cant fault you there 6pointer. I work on the same conditions regarding traps.

 

I have one farm that without fail old brock takes a couple of traps, yesterday in fact!!

Another didnt tell me he was having contractors in to spread fert, nor did he tell the contractors to watch for the markers. After a trap bill that changed

 

The absolute bain has to be golf courses. I have one which seems to have more dog walkers than members! I now use THEIR traps. You cant put markers down for obvious reasons but they still go missing and if they dont the traps get flattened with the mowers.

 

Seems absolutely fair to me

It's too easy to catch mole's and i do it for free for a friendly farmer just for the enjoyment of being in the countryside and seeing a good result from the trap's at the end of the day..

Moles are more active then ever since poison was banned.

 

I catch moles, but being as most mole catchers are certificated from the guild of british mole catchers register and done the training, I would not be classed as a "professional" despite years of hands on approach trapping moles.

 

Most mole catchers charge a call out fee - You have to..how are you meant to make any money if you dont? you need to cover your fuel however long the distance is. For farm land, I charge £10.00 per mole caught, with a discount on the second one i catch and so on and so on. I charge for domestic gardens, (not taking in to account fuel charges) anywhere in the region of £40.00 to £.00 + £15.00 trap set up fee no matter how many moles I catch that is a fixed sum. Traditional mole catchers (most of them anyway) Have a policy of no mole no fee, so if you are travelling long distance you better get probing for that tunnel because it will be a long way to come back if you dont catch him, thus loosing out on money. if you need any more info inbox me.

Being certified doesent mean your a better molecatcher than the next man nor does any amount of training. You have to be out there up to your elbows in it gaining the experience and know how. You train yourself.

As to obtaining " certification" from the "guild" it all costs and thats what it all comes down to. Being a member certainly doesent guarantee anybody work.

 

So why would you not consider yourself a professional? If you are out there doing it then your living the molecatcher dream!!
