MOLE CATCHER

Post by laineywoo » Tue Sep 26, 2006 10:15 pm

Hi
I just got a cert saying a family members occupation was a "mole catcher"! Would this be to get rid of pests or for the coats or a combination of both?? Any ideas?

Hi Lainey

Probably a bit of both - in the area where I live people still work as mole catchers - mostly employed by local farmers - but I suspect that it will not be a full time occupation these days. I could do with the services of one myself - I have some moles who turn my lawn into a lunar landscape every winter.

Best regards

Ted

Hi Ted
Thanks for that. I just seemed a kind of strange occupation to me.
I have a cat that makes a fab mole catcher...........now I wonder if I can hire her out lol Unfortunately shes getting on a bit, but we never get much of a hill, just a pressie on the door step
