Mike. Many times I have pulled a mole from a tunnel to find it has been partially consumed. I assume it was from another mole or a shrew. I would hate to leave food behind for them. I have also found that ants love dead moles and swarm the carcus untill it's consumed. This could create another issue for a customer.

Partly eaten moles are not eaten by moles. They are eaten by chipmunks and or voles.

And nope I have not stopped trapping moles. The only thing that keeps me from trapping moles is drought (not a lot of that here this year if you had not heard) and frozen ground (not much of that here in July either LOL)

Well my new work truck is finally done. Just got the graphics on the cap yesterday.

what kind of traps are you guys useing an were i might find them, I heard of a t-rex trap but not shore on how to set it, any help would be grearly appreciated, My moms yard is loaded so i wanna practice so i can charge the neibhors, an how do charge for a mole removal, thanks steve

Very nice logo, Animals Only.

Any one out there still doing any serious mole trapping? Been pretty dry this way!

Ya killed em all Lt.

Nah, couldn't be that lucky!

Wait 'till rains of Sepember come..........

Is Steve from California still on here? If so PM me, I'd like to find out about your traps.

Whitfield, PM sent. I have a new website up for my traps at www.traplineproducts.com

The site is not finished and I'm still working on it, but the online store page should work fine if you want to buy traps.

Thanks!

Well, I am going to add mole trapping to my list of control species next year, but I am getting in some practice on some yards of customers that I met this year. A good relations builder and, as I said, practice, since I have never trapped moles before. I set 6 traps in this yard yesterday. I checked the traps this morning with nothing in them. She looked at them around noon and found one snapped. I checked and there was this little monster in it.



It is interesting to find that the things you learn about a species are true. For instance:
1. They really do travel on their sides through the ground.
2. Their fur is VERY soft. Is there a market for it? I would love to have a pillow case made from the fur. How many would it take?

LT will be proud! LOL

Ive been setting traps to catch moles at a friends house and caught two moles and set the trap again a caught a chipmunk from the same hole is this normal for chipmunks and moles to use the same hole?

I got a contract for live mole removal this week. Boy is that exciting.

You mean to tell me that you got some of Jameson's live traps...or did you build your own?

I built my own. BUt I used Jamesons Idea.

OH yeah, he's got some good ones alright!

From the research I have done on Live trapping it seams to be a common "thing" in the UK...............

Yep, those people are softies over there....not so much the trappers, just the goverment and commoners!

Where's the guy who buys mole heads? Is he still on here?
