First Paid Mole Job

[bunnyboiler 1,053]

Got a call of a mate saying someone had asked him if he knows of anyone doing moles as his back garden is over run with them so he gave them my number and of I popped to have a look the garden must of been 40ft by 40ft with a lawn in the middle with dirt round the edges obviously for plants in the summer there was mole hills at the bottom right and top left with a couple in the middle so we agreed a price and in went three Duffus traps which I brought from flat pack ?managed to get back there today two check them and the traps I placed bottom right and top left had both gone of with a mole in each set them back in and told him I'd be back on Saturday to pick them up what I did find strange was it was two males living side by side from what I've been told that this is not the norm can any one shed any light on this ATB BB

Mine from this today. Horrible day, drizzle was coming at me horizontally and i was totally wet through by 12. Kept going but didn't enjoy it one bit. And i start all over again tomorrow. The joys of a moletrapper.

Farmer was happy though.

Thanks earth thrower. Im not keen on hanging em on fences tbh, its a bit "victorian" but its the easiest way farmer giles can see whats been caught.
