  1. I've not had as farm work as I'd like. I'm the same gardens, football and cricket grounds. Farmers all over the country are so tight. We as mole catchers need to keep drumming into them the problems of moles. My friend who is a lecturer at an equine college near me just done a clostridium awareness lecture and how eventually it can kill horses. He also mentioned about moles and moles and hills. What areas do you control mate?
  2. Guys what you are saying is both right. I shouldn't be handing out good tips for free. Lesson learn I apologise again.
  3. It wasn't a how to manual either, it was stating my opinion on my thoughts on trapping opposed to other peoples methods and beliefs
  4. Okay I apologise mate, I thought a forum was to post tips, advice and discuss. I'm always happy to take other people methods on board. I apologise offending anyone
  5. I personally wouldn't go raking moles hills on large fields where there's livestock. One for the effort or raking down every mole hill on such a large area and two I know a lot of farmers wouldn't be happy spreading potentially bacterial infested soil around a field with their money on it. That is all I am saying.
  6. The bacteria could still be present in the mound not necessarily pushed up on the surface. There was a recent case where a farmer had a field peppered in mole hills (new and old) so he chain harrowed them and lost 8 sheep a few days later!
  7. Yeah mate vey true, but if your operating on a 2-3 acre field covered in mole hills and time is an issue it's not always possible to rake down the mole hills but if you can it's always handy. Raking them down where livestock are kept or grass is being grown for silage isn't a good idea as of there is any clostridium or lysteria in the soil you're going to end up with dead animals or ruined silage. But I know a lot of mole catchers who use the soil sausage to 'guide' the mole into the trigger.
  8. Time and time again you hear old gamekeepers or old trappers talking of burying a trap to take the smell off the new coating as otherwise the mole will smell you and "do a Runner". It's completely a load of nonsense, time and time again I've caught with the use of brand new traps. Although the most productive area to place your traps is in the tunnel to the feeding area from the "main mole tunnel" , which is normally along a fence line, near a post, a tree or some form of permanent structure. It is possible to catch in the feeding area (where your mole hills, out in the open are!), but I hav
  9. On the rails lanber but I'm a contractor so I can do what I want and spare time in mole trapping or out ferreting. Next year I'm doing my level 2 cert in pest management though. Depending on where you live I'm £50 for the first mole and all after are £10 but if your pretty local ill do first one for £20 and the rest at £10. What you into mate?
  10. Lovely looking dogs mate. Never had any saluki in any of my lurchers but my cousin does. How do you find them?
  11. Okay agreed nod, but I took time out of my life to travel to Yorkshire and pay to attend the btmr course, which now makes me LANTRA approved on paper. So technically I am qualified and I also catch mole every week alongside my main job.

  13. Agouti, I've actually brought a few spools off ya and they've turned out to be cracking nets and have caught a lot of rabbits. Thanks again mate
  14. Hello, I'm new on here. I'm from Kent, I'm a fully qualified traditional mole trapper. I'm one of the cheapest out there and I run a no catch - no fee policy. Moles are a huge problem! A lot of livestock and horse owners don't know! Moles can push up lysteria and clostirod
