  1. Trappa, How have the Pest stop traps faired? How much did you pay for fifty? Best I can see so far is about £2.80 each
  2. Need to go round and knock on door, as others have said. I find that standing on the doorstep asking politely for payment works well. Be brave and do it
  3. Still use the good old fashioned charcoal sticks, does a reasonable job
  4. Been looking to by a few more mole traps. Flat pack charge £100 for 20 plus delivery Anywhere else to look, or are they the best for quality
  5. Thank you, thought it was more complicated than that!!
  6. Hi, Have been given a job for mole trapping in a 10-acre field, but for a client who uses a land agent. They require a copy of my insurance - no problem there, have 5 million They also need my risk assessment and method statement, now not too sure what this actually entails. Can you help please or pm me any examples? ATB Gravy
  7. Can I ask how you use them then? Because most posts here seem to find them rather limiting. I have used in a domestic garden with carrot as bait in/around trap - but mice seem to take them. Have used in fields with the traps set to catch rabbits as they run for home, but again limited success. Would love some top tips Torquemada
  8. Very true, have only had very limited success, young ones tend to go in, but adults are wary
  9. How have you managed all these years, without this vital information!!
  10. Thanks for all the replies. Are the folding ones any good? It would be really handy... PS I once bought a folding fox trap. Never again! I think they are pretty good, and folding flat is great will take some pics tomorrow for you
  11. I have purchased a few before, they came from "the trap man" has a website, but also on ebay. the ones I have fold flat, so really useful for storing
  12. Showing your age now Trappa, O levels have been gone a long long time, lol
  13. Spiders in the garden? That is where they should be, leave alone, it`s nature
  14. Thank you for the replies. Used a piece of bendy wire, was easier than I thought, but still a faff. As soon as the rubber tube was back on the dust pipe, and could see the tube through the air line hole, the brass connector fitted to hold it in place Seems it pays not to have too much dust in, It was easier to decant the dust out, find the rubber tube and put back.
  15. Sometimes, even with a family, a move is necessary, granted it is better without, to reduce the impact of schooling, friends etc Good Luck Rowan - hope you have a good log burner for the winter
  16. Had a malfunction whilst doing a wasp nest yesterday, just no dust coming out, eventually after many failed attempts I looked inside the duster and found that the copper pipe that attached from the outlet pipe and should sit in the dust at base had come adrift. Is there an easy way of correcting this? Or is it a case of trying with a long pair of improvised pliers to try and fix through the top where the dust is put in? May be that it should not come off in the first place and even if i do reattach will simply fall off again. Has this happened to you? or am I just unlucky. Any
  17. Do not know much about Shropshire, but around here £15 per hour is good. Would you get more than that at a general factory job in the winter? (if pest control was slow)
  18. £15 per hour every hour of working day on the same farm is ok IMO.
  19. Does this work well for you? If I was the customer would think perhaps you are not very good or trying to rip me off as you charge every visit, so would be in your interest not to catch quickly?
  20. Clivertons every time mate , plus there in norfolk , looks like you are there as well . I see that Clivertons are now advertising, got their flyer through with the latest edition of "Pest Magazine" Nice to have a company that understands the pest control industry and what's involved. And as long a not making a claim, much cheaper than the well known ones
