Guild of Master Mole Catchers

Member Number 910

As a Member of the Guild we uphold the highest possible standards of animal welfare, showing these remarkable creatures the greatest respect.  Working to a code of practice identifies a proficient stance to the task that has been requested, and when such a commission requires the removal of the existence of an animal then the best possible compassion and proficiency must be the principal concern.

Employing a proven working practice will provide a minimum standard for such a task and regulate to maintain those levels and provide a better service to both client and target species.
These simple points combine to create a workable practice that has been proven for use

• Respect the mole at all times.
• Before commencement of work make a full assessment of the area and consider the personal and /or risks to third parties or other non-target species.
• Consider the use of the area/s and what type of mole trap would be beneficial and achieve the results to that location.
• Only use good quality traps that are in good working order.
• When using traps never leave them exposed, care should be taken to cover to avoid accidentally injuring non-target species or third parties and reduce tampering
• Traps must be inspected once a day, however where risk assessment identifies, some multiple visits maybe required
• Always record the quantity of traps used at a location.
• Always remove all traps from a location if inspection is no longer to be made.
