PERSPECTIVE
The role of
the molecatcher in the British countryside goes back
hundreds of years. Alas like all traditional skills they
have slowly been in decline. But hopefully with the
emergence of the B T M R things will start to improve.
The BTMR website intends to be the definitive site for British Molecatchers.
With the
withdrawal of Strychnine for mole control the demand for
the Traditional Molecatcher has risen and will rise in
the future. Many of the pest control companies are
abandoning mole control work because trapping is too
time consuming for them, and gassing is not totally
effective, and can only be used in certain locations,
and weather conditions. Not so with the Traditional
Molecatcher, these individuals are not fazed by many of
the jobs put before them. They are experts at mole
catching and are aware of all the associated problems.
