    Water Voles are protected but as Stephenwalsh said above Field Voles are not protected with the exception of the Wild Mammals (Protection) Act. The best way to clear an area of them is to use the boxed snappa traps baited with peanut butter and placed next to the holes.

    Take a look at the mole directory sites like GBM, APMC and of course mole-control.co.uk. I reckon there are quite a few who cover your area, perhaps you just aren't aware of them yet? Why check out the local competition.......... Go one better than them. Its too easy to sit back and say that there are too many Pesties in an area i won't bother. Market yourself correctly and the business will grow....Dont worry about who else is around you. Establishing that there is a market for your business is the first step in any business plan If the area is already saturated wit

    Moles are a great foot in the door to introduce yourself. I used to hate mole jobs but now I actually like catching them as it always gives me chance to meet new customers and then its down to you to sell yourself and let them know what a great guy you are and all of the other pests you can help them with. I was always told its hard to sack someone you really like even if he is not as good at the job as the next guy who hasn't got a personality

We can only presume he has checked
