    Well I must be an old fart set in his ways, just seems way to much faffing about, bend this build a hummock, roll up soil into balls etc etc. Dig hole, stick in duffus come back three days later take out dead mole/s get paid.

    You ain't wrong there! Lol.We done off a five year old petting ewe that started prolapsing on a holiday park, it was blooming handsome. I was supposed to dispatch it and bury it, lot likely. Now we have two mahoosive buggers here that the Mrs named, I'll end up burying these pair.

    Lovely stuff! My Mrs does this and it's great.Try it with marinated pigeon breast that has been flash fried, bring on the decoying over stubble with the airguns.

    Interesting topic, must stress them terribly but it's legal so there it is.
  5. mole trapper
    Are these Talpa or genuine Talpex?Probably copies, I bought them off the bay, brilliant quality, but........

    In the mole hill! Really??? I have set them as I would a say a Fenn scissor, then trickled in fine soil under the pan and to either side of the pan to replicate a tunnel collapse, my logic being it will push the soil forwards to clear the obstruction. Pin set so fine it's scary, still mole either fills or goes round?. Think I ought to stick to my duffus, traplines and Fenn, at least I know what I'm doing with those.

    I recently bought a couple to see what all the fuss was about, I couldn't catch a mole in one if my blooming life depended on it! Must be doing something very wrong.

    Sheriff for me too, the Mrs uses a sheriff also for her bee keeping.
  9. mole trapper
    Yep, I too would rate them highly as boat anchors!

    Oh my gawd, I have got to get her to make that! We were only looking at the rhubarb patch earlier and saying there's a few pudding and demijons of wine there already.

    Absolutely agree, trouble is I'm still enjoying chasing the quid at the moment. The rare occasions the phone goes a bit quiet I think right that's it I'm selling up, then the work goes mad again and I'm like a dog with three dicks. A local business man offered me 75k back around Christmas and I told him to come back with a serious offer and I would consider it. According to my accountant the general rule of thumb as a one man band is two and a half times your annual net profit as a starting point.

    Do you think you will be able to "sell" the business? Mole Catching is quite specialized and takes years of experience.Mole work only accounts for about 25_35% of my turnover, the rest is rabbit work, black box contracts and general pest control.So yes the business is very desirable as I've got my eggs in many baskets.
  13. mole trapper
    Not !!!!!
  14. mole trapper
    Expats? If so then it's fine!Only kidding (honest)
  15. mole trapper
    Saw my first one on the 7th, same date as last year, saw none after till this morning.
  16. mole trapper
    She's going in tomorrow on the way back funny enough!Bloomin things going round, under, filling and avoiding altogether, Grrr. Normally this kinda job would be finished first visit. Never ever take money upfront.

    I'm having a bit of a crisis with a piddly little domestic job locally, broke my cardinal rule of accepting payment before finishing the job because the owners were going back to London. Now I'm paying the price!, so I've used duffus, Fenn, trap line, talpex and this damned mole has rumbled me every time. I'm so annoyed at myself for taking the damned payment up front. Really don't want to admit defeat and go along with the shotty, it's just too much of an affront to my pride. So as a last ditch resort has anyone got a pair of putange that I can buy please? Can't get any off the bay at pres
  18. mole trapper
    Haha, not yet! Trying to build the business as big as I can to get the best price possible when I come to sell it. Even then I'll hopefully still be trapping, but not in Devon and Cornwall anymore, and in a more relaxed manner, rather like another esteemed mole trapper on here! Not mentioning any names, ahem!

    Well, to put it into context, I bought the new van five weeks next Tuesday, just finished now and looking at the odometer I've done 7,200 miles in that time. I cover most of Cornwall six/seven days a week, admitted I also do about twelve nights a month on rabbit contracts too which adds up the miles. I'm not fussed if I do two jobs in a day that are seventy miles apart, it will still pay well. However, I never only have two jobs a day so there will always be stuff to do both ways as well. My diesel bill last tax year was just shy of ten grand, when the year just ended accounts are added up

    I can believe the beagle caught one, but the talpex, really??? I bought two to see what all the fuss was about, damned if I can catch a bloody mole in one! Tried all the tricks of setting them posted on here. Best use I can think of for them is sea fishing weights. Duffus all the way.
  21. mole trapper
    Could be?
  22. mole trapper
    This looks identical to the one I've been using the last five years or so. A mate bought it for me, I think from either axminster tools or machine Mart.
  23. mole trapper
    Don't worry about it, it happens! I've two playing silly buggers with me at the moment, stress, aagh. Generally I put in a trap of every sort I've got around, ie, a Fenn, duffus, trap line, talpex etc, eventually they all make the mistake.

    Pm inbound!

    Ah, st nazaire! Yes stopped there once, won't be going back, bit like Biarritz but less glitz.We will be heading down to Alsace first, never been this time of year, usually do that region in September. We'll almost definitely head across to Arle from there then up to Orleone/Rhe. With us nothing is ever fixed though, we always travel with the two dogs, so same as yourself look for more suitable places. Another place we often end up in is Lauzerte, we used to go there each year on the motor bikes back twenty years ago, it was fantastic, really good local hospitality, food and wine and it was
