Tilimangro,....the biggest incentive to succeed in this ole trapping game, is when you can get a fair remuneration for your services... :yes:

 

In my opinion,....if you intend to work in the Guildford area ....with its close location to Suburbia and lovely trapping ground,...well,.you are indeed one lucky fellah....If you publicise yourself well and become proficient at the game,..you should do extremely well £££ :thumbs:

If your doing domestics,,get the money on the first visit,,,feck waiting round like you would with a farm ,,or commercial job...

 

Look at the job ,,,you can estimate the amount of visits,,,most domestics can be done in 3 visits...so roughly £100,,,

 

So look at the job telling customer how many visits your likely to do ,,agree a price,,,and ask them there and then if there paying by cash or cheque,,,..

I started mole trapping on the farms and loved it, after nearly 30 years im getting to hate the farm mole jobs. Domestic mole jobs are usually much easier and pay is better.

 

when you are covering hundreds of acres in wind rain etc day after day it gets to you . Farmers are the worst to deal with some times on initial meeting and treatment lol.

 

Good luck

One thing i have found handy this year is the paypal card reader.

 

"No Cash" "no problem, just pop your card in here and you can pay me NOW."

 

Hate f***ing sending bills out only for people to hang you about for your money.

 

Had a cheque turn up begining of this week, that was a payment from last september for a poxy wasp nest. FFS

Hats off to you lads that can catch moles

Never mind make a living at it

I've worked in pest control for a few years now

The last 11 years for my self with not a bad level of success

I have a bag full of mole traps a dibber the lot

But

I COULDNT CATCH A MOLE IF IT WAS IN A BUCKET

And I have tried and people have tried teaching me
