Here is an outline of what I do:

I will attend your site at a mutually convenient time to assess mole activity. This must take place in daylight. With your agreement, I will set as many traps as I consider may be necessary.

• I will check the traps at least once every 24 hours;

• Trap locations will be clearly marked;

• Please ensure children, pets and other animals are kept away from the traps – they are small but strong, and will easily injure small fingers and curious snouts;

• The captured mole will be removed and disposed of (clients are welcome to witness the removal, but should be aware that it may not be a pleasant sight);

• I use “instant kill” traps, but on very rare occasions the animal isn't properly caught and may still be alive. In these instances, I will dispatch the mole as quickly and painlessly as possible;

• Photographic evidence of mole capture is always available, and will be provided  on request.

The traditional practice of mole catching in the UK goes back centuries, and is the most humane and environmentally-friendly method of removing moles from a site. The “instant kill” traps are designed to ensure the immediate dispatch of the mole without pain or suffering (but bear in mind my comments above).

I DO NOT use any form of baits, gas, chemicals, or poisons of any sort, and at all times I follow the Code Of Practice of the Guild Of British Molecatchers.

I look forward to being of service to you.
