I
will attend your site at a mutually convenient time which must be in
daylight, when I will make an assessment of mole activity. With your
agreement, I will set as many traps as I consider may be necessary
and these traps will be checked by me at least once every 24hrs. The
trap location(s) will be clearly marked. Bear in mind that the traps
are small but strong and will easily injure small fingers and curious
snouts! Please ensure that children, pets & other animals are
kept away from the traps.
When
a mole is captured I will remove and dispose of it. You are welcome
to witness the mole's removal, but you should be aware that this may
not be a pleasant sight. I use “instant kill” traps, but there
is the very rare occasion when the animal isn't properly caught and
isn't dead. In these instances I will dispatch the mole as quickly
and painlessly as I can. Again, you may not wish to see this. I
will, at your request, provide photographic evidence of any moles
caught on your 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 gas,
chemicals, or poisons of any sort, and at all times I follow the Code
Of Practice of the Guild Of British Molecatchers.
