The decision of which mole catcher to engage is entirely yours. Each mole catcher operates with slight variations in their approach. Some price by the job, others by the hour, and a few offer a fixed rate for the first mole with a reduced fee for any subsequent captures. Typically, mole catchers prefer a quick on-site assessment to understand the problem and determine the necessary steps to complete the task.

Now, let's delve into the timeline of mole-catching:

For a single mole job in a garden:

• Day 1: The mole catcher arrives, sets traps.
• Day 2: A second visit is made to check traps, remove caught moles, and reset traps.
• Day 3: A third visit ensures no further activity. If satisfied, traps are removed, and payment is made.
• Aftercare: If new mole activity arises within an agreed period, the mole catcher returns at no additional cost.

For a multiple-mole job in horse paddocks:

• Day 1: The mole catcher sets traps.
• Day 2: A second visit involves removing caught moles and resetting traps.
• Day 3: Another visit to remove caught moles and reset traps.
• Day 4: A fourth visit, as most moles are usually caught by this time, but occasionally it might take longer.
• Day 5: A final visit to ensure no further activity. If all is well, traps are picked up, and payment is made.
• Aftercare: Similar to the previous scenario.

Agricultural jobs differ due to the extensive land involved, and mole catchers employ various methods.

While the above scenarios illustrate an ideal process, real-world situations can vary, especially if amateur trapping attempts precede professional intervention. Please note that mole catching is a modest-income profession, and prompt payment is greatly appreciated. Most mole catchers take pride in their work, offering full guarantees and often a no-catch, no-fee policy—a rarity in today's business landscape.
