Hi everyone, I've just joined and enjoying reading the various posts, I wanted to mention that I'm a professional mole catcher as well as being licensed by the Police for the purpose of fox control.

I feed four foxes and a feral cat at my home but I do kill moles humanely with traps if they become invasive. I was taught by a gamekeeper how to set mole traps. He also used strychnine poison which I didn't want anything to do with TBH.
I've just purchased a book called Moles and Their Control by Guy N. Smith just to give me a bit of background information.My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
Diversify & prosper

Hi Snadger ironically I do like foxes and would never shoot one for the sake of it we have a few around the land but they don't really cause us any problems to be honest, that said there is an ugly side to foxes and sometimes there isn't an option but to get rid of the offender.Originally posted by Snadger View PostI feed four foxes and a feral cat at my home but I do kill moles humanely with traps if they become invasive.

Yep, I don't really mind foxes -there is a sort of 'gallusness' about them, which I quite admire.
They don't really cause us any problems and keep the rabbits in check - however, when your confronted with the remnants of a caught rabbit on your plot, it's not a pretty sight.
Sorry, I forgot to add - I've never ever seen a mole before, I don't think.
Apparently, there are no moles in Ireland (according to QI).Last edited by KevinM67; 06-12-2015, 10:05 PM........because you're thinking of putting the kettle on and making a pot of tea perhaps, you old weirdo. (Veggie Chicken - 25/01/18)

There are no snakes in Ireland either. Is there a correlation?Comment

I've caught what I call aquatic moles!Originally posted by bearded bloke View PostHmmmmmm, a mole going across the Irish Sea in snorkle & flippers ............. the mind boggles
I've set the trap in a run that has been flooded overnight then a couple of days later dug out a trapped mole that was under water!
It must have been free diving as I found no snorkel!

I think it's something to do with what was resident there immediatly before the land mass was seperated away by the Irish seaOriginally posted by veggiechicken View Post

No moles over here, the ground is far too dry, i can hardly dig through it
There are quite a few foxes, my chickens have a very large fenced off area that we dug a foot into the ground and is about 5 foot tall, i do not lock them up at night and always scared that i might find a massacre one day but it has nearly been 3 years. I am thinking with having so many dogs around that the smells put the foxes off from our land.
It is very known that they can kill your cats, but i have not had a problem.I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them
