My old boss, MCP, poacher turned gamekeeper turned poacher again, left the high pressure lifestyle of corporate IT and guerrilla marketing for "Big Blue" to set up as a mole catcher. I promised to support his new campaign, so I am. You will notice the words "free," "offer" and "perfect." They are emblematic.
Here's an excerpt from the Moler's website:
"Until recently the traditional mole catcher had nearly disappeared. However, due to a trend to milder winters and the withdrawal of strychnine, the mole population has exploded. Trapping them is back in vogue. Old methods -- using modern traps -- has seen the return of the mole catcher once more stalking the land."

OMGosh - where did you get that picture of me out with my flags and shovel? I am the queen of baiting (I don't use traps for safety reasons) pocket gopher tunnels.
ReplyDeleteI use a long BBQ skewer to locate the tunnel (an art form), take one large scoop to open tunnel (a three way intersection is a cause for rejoicing), place the bait, and carefully cover the hole back up with the large plug I removed(can't have soil falling in the tunnel and diverting their attention from the luscious "food" I've left for them.) A flag (color of the day) is stuck there so I can check for future activity.
I do all my closer in property and all of Father Bill's (my pastor until he retired. You get extra time off purgatory for exterminating a priest's pocket gophers, doncha know?) property next door.
Adrienne, you must email the Moler and express support/swap tips.

Time off purgatory? Well deserved.
If I had the extra $$$ - this is what I'd use...

Seriously - watch this. The company hails from Boise in my home state of Idaho. I actually considered getting one and setting up shop. I'm getting a bit old to be crawling around digging holes.
I will contact the mole guy. We have lots to discuss.
The Rodinator looks awesome. Save up and get one!
ReplyDeleteYou'll like the Moler -- a good man.
Cheers.
