I live in what was once a keepers cottage and is now named after him as he took his own life with a 12bore in the kitchen, he had been unwell for a while and was awaiting test results back with a strong history of cancer in his family the thought of the illness was to much for him to bare.

So to summarise you use the device to stop re-infestation by collapsing the burrows ok ive got that much. So that would be along the idea of a mole or moles would be discouraged on entering a piece of land because there are no mole runs there? A clever mole or maybe just your average mole actually might find it much easier to burrow through soil which has been freshly blown up, just a thought.

You would think that being a user of these devices you would like to put forward what you feel are the advantages to try and give others a better understanding and therefor possibly end some prejudices. But since you do not feel the need to share i will have a stab in the dark for you. You give a client a price for Mole trapping and you give the client a price for Mole trapping with "burrow collapsing" to stop "re-infestation"??? Im guessing the customers who do not take it are the ones who have either used this "benefit" before or ones which are completely clueless and take everything you say

Yes and the use of alley phos gas is a much better way to die?? No dig intended, but defra and natural england reccomend the use of gas to vacate occupied runs before blasting. And we all know how successfull that method is!! I have one of these devices and yes i use it, For the removal of tunnel systems. I trap more than my fair share of moles, using traditioanl teqhniques and have done for a good number of years. Molecatching makes up probably % of my work. The tunnel blaster adds to the service i offer, some want it some dont but by the time it comes into use i will have already

Completely agree about the burrow blasting instruments, the only saving grace being that i think it is only a matter of time before they are miss-used to the point of them being banned. As far as every tom dick and harry wanting to become a Mole catcher i can see your point and have definitely noticed an increase in interest myself. In a way the strychnine ban i feel may have been a nail in the coffin as it suddenly made Mole catching much more sought after and then in turn lucrative to the traditional and regular mole catcher and unfortunately this day in age when anything under the sun sudd

Just work out your expenses for doing the work i.e fuel etc then charge him minimum wage per hour on the ground on top of that if your not fussed about the money, but do bare in mind if you do go down the charging him route you will need to have proper public liability insurance and the full method statements and risk assessments in place for carrying out the work.

Is anyone using the Collarum in an urban environment, gardens etc? Im finding more and more Foxes are becoming trap shy in these environments and would like to hear about anyones experiences with this trap in urban or any environment really. Cheers
