    ?,...just for the novelty, & far too expensive, they are anyway.
  2. earth-thrower
    Was bored,....so I decided to purchase this trap, & some of the kit ?? Swiss manufactured,.. this device, quality materials (stainless steel, I think) & nicely engineered. Managed to get it installed in a mole run, failed to catch ,..but caught mole on my second attempt, in another location....lol (thank f..k,...don't ask how much this all cost me !! ???) Anyway, good design , & is set up to target the mole/vole, etc , around the head/ neck area. Seems a very humane dispatch.
  3. earth-thrower
    Right again,...ave had to tell a couple that too, basically, only wanting to go £5 & £6 a mole.
  4. earth-thrower
    Definitely !
  5. earth-thrower
    £12.50, minimum, on silage/hay now.
  6. earth-thrower
    Only actually talked too him in person once, like a ghost in the night, the c..t, lol but see all his markers, when he's around, can't miss them !
  7. earth-thrower
    Me being me, text asked if alright to ring him, about something, now I know it wasn't my place, but a says "Allan, should you not be charging them more , mate,....the boys I'm aware of , further down South, etc, charge more than that " (& rightly so), it was as much for him, I said that, (not just for me ! ??),.....as far as I'm aware now , he's at least £300, now ?
  8. earth-thrower
    I've observed (when passing, before) he actually bangs all the traps down, over a couple of days (if bad) , & I reckon he picks up end of the week, in reality,....not checking in between, etc
  9. earth-thrower
    Hopefully, you'll get a couple more mate ? (anno, depending on competition, etc)
  10. earth-thrower
    Katch, would you be surprised to know how much this quad moley boy, charged per farm, when he first appeared here, bout 5 year ago,......£250 ! no matter how 'black wi moles' ! , gives them a weeks attendance (still not sure if hes actually over the 5 days or 7,.......& I remember thinking then, how the f**k am I meant to compete with this now ! ? ? lol
  11. earth-thrower
    Yep, I get you. One of the farmers here, splits the farm, with turf growing. The quad moleys got the main farm (I've got another of the farmers parcels of ground , nearer me.) Anyway, he won't let him do the turf fields , (not many) , cause of the quad , so I get a shout, fir them.

    Funny, the rare conversation I had once with the travelling moley, that comes up here, with the quad, when I mentioned about golf courses, I remember him saying "they can keep them ! " ?,..a should have probed him more, but the only thing I could think of, is maybe he's a "cash in hand" only, guy, maybe ? Ah so they really don't want mole catchers accessing with quads, generally ?
  13. earth-thrower
    Technically it was meant to be a 'grey area' I think, whether you could use the Strychnine on a golf course, you know, cause obviously the golfers/public access, etc, but I think I remember being told , it ended up ok (in Scotland)
  14. earth-thrower
    Good move,....I canvassed round the golfies, around 2008, & was lucky cause most had nothing done (or tried with gas) since the Strychnine guy had to chuck it, cause of the withdrawal of it. (2006) Got around 6 , but now just have two, regular, & one or two just occasional, every couple of years, or so. (various reasons for that ?)
  15. earth-thrower
    Aye, a notice worm casts too, & mentioned & the head says, they can't get some of the good stuff, they used too use, before, etc , to treat it. Keeps you in a job, your situation, anyway
  16. earth-thrower
    They only do essentials on greens & tees, November to March, here, I've noticed, they mostly do drainage work & path maintenance, etc (Nov/Mar) instead. Aye, that's a good point, about the golf buggies,..although they haven't all got them (& nobody offered lol)
  17. earth-thrower
    Obviously we should be mostly on top of them, before cutting, but I have seen me catch every month of the year, on one course, in a bad year ?
  18. earth-thrower
    Funny enough, only rarely get mole working on green or tee surface, raised tees, mole working round banking, at most, & usually perimeter of greens, Well there's gonna be alot of sand under them parts, & low worm ? count, probably, & ave heard they can't get the worm killing chemicals,etc, easily anymore, but ?
  19. earth-thrower
    ?, one of the greenkeepers reckons them cutting regular in season, helps keep the moles at bay, am not so sure, right enough ?
  20. earth-thrower
    Putanges definitely ideal, now that they've started cutting ? Just finished my last Golfie, recently, & billed ! As you say if an odd one comes back in,etc, in near tee or green, they'll maybe phone me & then can be a big walk for only one ! ?
  21. earth-thrower
    Phoned today, mate,...they don't wanna talk , afterall,....?? (funs over, let the guys thread continue, with positive stuff ?)
  22. earth-thrower
    Good payers ! few & far between for me now, up here, think one of the part timers here, who advertises (on internet), must get some.
  23. earth-thrower
    Good stuff, is that a marker still in mate, you still after one ?
  24. earth-thrower
    I will apologise for hijacking your thread, mate, i'm shutting up now, & maybe put a wee topic up on something, soon.
  25. earth-thrower
