New Mole Pricing

[Rowan 308]

The village mole catchers on their push bikes are still out there doing it for half a packet of crisps or a windfall apple .

 

early this year i was called by a lady ??? , to give her a price to clear her half acre lawn at her barn conversion holiday home .

 

After i told her the price and she had called me every foul mouthed word she could think off , she told me a friend off her gardener , would trap the moles for £3 each .

I asked her for his phone number and told her i'd love to employ him..

You will always get the ten bob operators. Just ignore it and plow on.

I am having a guess about 3x the amount you charged.

What's the prize

[Torquemada 288]

I went to a domestic rat job that Rentokil had been to previously, they charged £700 for 4 visits and caught nothing.

 

My guess is £850.

i was asked this week to price a rabbit job in a garden, they had a price from rentokill, my price was £150 for half a days work, you can all have a guess how much the big boys were wanting.

£450

[trappa 517]

Actually Im thinking more. £500

It wasn't until they accepted my price that i asked how much they were going to charge,

get ready for a shock.

 

ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED PLUS VAT.

Bargain , but still they get plenty of work and i believe the biggest pest control company in the world .

I had a call today from a guy asking how much i would charge to clear his garden off moles , after asking all the questions i needed istill told him without looking i could only estimate a price which he agreed was ok.

 

 

He then asked me twice to repeat it , Rentokill had quoted him £495 plus vat for the first 3 visits ,,, a mid terrace , 80's house with a 30' long by 20' wide back garden.Yes, bless him, he had even counted the mole hills , a grand total off 13 , so not overrun exactly .

Where they got the price from amazes me , i'm still making a decent living and sleeping soundly.

4k rento wanted to remove a fox. They wanted to trap it then take it to the vets to get pts. They didn't get get the job.

[Rowan 308]

I totally agree , how can it possibly cost £165 a visit plus vat .

[Rowan 308]

i was no where near that for the total job.
