Aye, it's not always easy to 'make ends meet' when you just specialise in moles alone, mainly ,......(like myself)

I hate rat jobs. (with the exception of shooting them)  and I only do them for me mole customers to protect my own interests. 

Holding stocks of poisons, boxes, climbing into shthole lofts etc. Horrible.

If you're into your moles then other pesting activities are a distraction - apart from wasps and maybe cluster flies.

I envy blokes who make a fulltime gig out of moles, I really do

That’s the only reason I got into it is because I knew passing rat jobs on was and end of that mole job

It’s horrible and a pain in the arse

Well mate, i get where your coming from,...but i think anybody's far wiser, to branch out from the moles, to include dealing with the other pests, too. ( commercially) It just makes sense.(believe me, i recognise this,.) In my case too, it would have been better. (& for all the obvious advantages of it) i probably had a chance at one time , but through lack of interest, & laziness too, if i'm honest, it's still mainly moles for me. So good on you all, for it, & i reckon it's definitely the right way to go.

I've come across a few mole men, who include placing the 'bait boxes' for rats. It's no bad thing,......& i know what your saying here, but your doing the right thing, i reckon.
