They are going nuts here, but the days are still in the 50's and 60's.

As of today..... I have almost every mole trap I own in the ground. Craziness...... December 1st and mole activity at a higher level than the rest of the year! BUT, snow predicted tomorrow and COLD temps hitting in the afternoon, with freezing temps at night for several days in a row. Looks like it's about to come to a halt.....

We've barely dipped below the freezing mark this morning for the first time. It's going to be slightly above freezing for the highs by the end of the week. As of now, though we're being invaded by an army of moles. I pulled my 11th mole out of 2 acres of sand and another out of some clay.

I pulled my traps about two weeks ago at a small job I was working on. The roadside ditches all had a thin sheet of ice in them and the ground where it had rained for several days was crunchy with ice when I went to check the traps. I had only one mole and a field mouse in the traps. I sent a picture to Steve with the field mouse which had been caught by the tip of his tail in the trap. I still have not figured that one out yet.
I did another job several days later after it had warmed up some and caught another at that job.
I figure Im through till it warms up again in a couple of months.

Im not charging per mole either, these jobs were ones the customers wanted something done quick as they are both listing their houses for sale and their yards had mole activity, I did a flat rate charge for one week as they believed the sight of the runs would affect potential buyers looking at their property.
I offered them a seasonal contract this spring should the houses not sell by then. They were happy and I was very happy to have the jobs. Its been a long S L O W year for me around these parts.

For the last year been passing out my cards, got most jobs this year from referrals from a friend who does ADC work on Hatteras Island and doesnt want to drive 100 miles one way to do the jobs. That and the people wont pay him for what it would take for him to drive all that way to do it too!
I have made up flyers so when it warms up this spring I'll get them to all the real estate companies and lawn mowing people.
The economy here is pitiful right now, every week for the last year the local paper has listed over a dozen foreclosures in the legal ads. Real estate companies have had the same houses listed for over a year and keep dropping prices to try and get them sold. New construction is non-existant and remodels are very few and far in between. For a resort area this place has come to a screeching halt.
I'll see what happens this spring!

Ok, I have a question. I'm sure Steve can answer this along with others, but I'm hoping others will gain from the answer. I'm trapping in a large commercial property with extensive mole infestation. I am experiencing more false trips than I've ever experienced with Albano's mole traps. I am wondering if these trips are from voles instead of moles? There are sign of voles in a few different locations around the property. I've read up on trapping voles, but I'm also wondering how do you price vole trapping within your mole trapping.

Could also be from shrews, although, I've caught shrews in Steve's traps!
