Froudy 40 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi lads, Just wondering what people charge roughly per acre on farms for catching moles with traps. Atb Froudy Quote Link to post
lanber 3 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If you read through some old posts, you will probably find that those who trap on farms will charge per mole caught or a daily rate.. Quote Link to post

Butler 396 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Work out what it will cost you in time and fuel and charge accordingly, not all jobs are the same you will learn by your mistakes. Quote Link to post
hutch6 550 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If it's an acre with a mole in I charge £15. If it's an acre without any moles in at all I charge £10. Try to only work acres where there aren't any moles as the work's easier. 1 Quote Link to post

davedavedave 69 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I charge £20 for the 1st mole then £10 for each mole after with a 'no catch/no fee' policy. I make this clear up front on my business cards, web site etc and then customer can either take it or leave it. atb, Dave. 1 Quote Link to post

Try to only work acres where there aren't any moles as the work's easier. WTF you on about?? could you please explain as i believe i have missed something What if your pulling 20 + per acre And im sure the land owner would love your working method It's quite simple. If I am catching 20 mole an acre then I will charge £15 everytime I work that acre. If it's a thursday or the second tuesday of the month I will work an acre where there aren't any moles as it's an easy day and I still make a tenner. If I manage to catch a mole a mole int eh acre where there weren't any then I will not charge for a mole in the acre as there wasn't supposed to be one. I'm only pulling your leg.
