  1. Alphachloralose is available in this country, just not for use on moles. And seeing as there are no moles in Ireland that is the stupidest comment yet.
  2. I sent this personal message to a certain member of this form some time ago: "Fella, you are asking a lot of questions that make you look like you are very new to this and don't really know what you are doing. I suggest that you invest in a couple of training courses rather than post like that on an open forum. If you are having specific problems feel free to message me privately and I will offer what limited wisdom I have." I didn't get a response.
  3. There is no import tax within EU and I have imported Fly screens from Italy and no VAT on them either...
  4. There's lots of info on the NPTA website about the new stewardship scheme. It mentions the RSPH Level 2 as the standard for professional pest controllers and other schemes for those who use SGAR's as part of wider work in agriculture or farming etc. Lots and lots of pages...
  5. Matt, you forgot another vital ingredient in your recipe to be a self employed pestie. Lady luck.
  6. Budgie you have already answered your own question - I did a very similar job a few years ago. Whilst the problem persists the kids will have to eat indoors, because when the food stops being available the birds will stop bothering the kids. It will be a pain for the school, but its the only way as you won't get a Licence for any type of lethal control. No food on the yard, no food left behind, good housekeeping and the problem will go away, although it will take time.
  7. It's what he said in his first post? The Landowner is asking?
  8. The insurance isn't expensive, but once you register as a Ltd Company you will need to make yearly returns to company's house etc, have all the proper documentation available, and complete a tax return every year (even if you aren't getting paid for it!). There is a lot of hassle with Ltd company's, believe me!
  9. I think that is precisely the opposite of what he is saying!?!
  10. That is what I was told Mr Darcy. Are there moles on Jersey and Guernsey? Shetland? I honestly don't know, but my thoughts were that Ireland has had more than its fair share of hard times, including a devastating famine, and you can eat moles?!
  11. Apparently there aren't any moles in the entire emerald isle. I met a fella from the South (he worked for Eco Lab) on a course a few years ago and all he wanted to know was about mole catching as he had never done it. I heard an unlikely explanation once as to why there are no moles in Ireland. Anyone have any theories?
