Ok I know you guys don't talk prices very openly so lets talk about the other parts that add up to pricing. I have never trapped moles, so do most guys price off of a time line for trapping and if so what is a average time line for trapping? size of yard play a part? and/or do most guys have a set up fee and per animal?

My advice would be to get some practice in first before selling yourself...otherwise you'll have a great many wasted journeys and it will probably cost you $$ in fuel and you might get a bad rep. before selling yourself, make sure you can do the job.....

Flat for a pre-determined timeframe. Per head work is not good for me. I like getting paid for time, etc b/c I know the results will follow.

Trap checks will depend on your regulations. Some states will have a 24 hour requirement while others have no requirement at all. The only relationship between cost and trap check is in the cost setting process.

I agree Bob,
We had an officer here that started an issue claiming they couldn't be trapped in Ohio without a letter of permission as there was no season on them a couple of years ago. Once that got straightened out, we technically had a 24 hr check (that enforcement was very understanding with) before we got the rule changed to exempt in 2013.
I just wanted to point out to new operators that it isn't what you, I or anyone else on here says, it's what is the law in their service area and if they can get in writing that they are exempt or have a different check, then that's great but it all starts with the law.
