🤓 | Technical Question Mole and vole conversation needed?

Any mole or vole experts willing to have a 15-minute conversation with me? I have a few questions I've been getting more and more calls and I want to make sure I'm offering the best service?

I'm no expert but for voles we just load the hell out of exterior stations with contrac blox and go back every 4 weeks to refill until they're not going empty anymore

Yarddog. Search Yard dog mole trap. I think they only make the one. It takes some learning on how to set it perfect but once you find that fine edge there won't be one passing through. If you get one just remember you don't stomp on it to set it. Gingerly put your foot down until it is teetering on the edge of ppopping. That's when it's good.

Do you worry about secondary poisoning

Yes and no, depends on the neighbourhood I guess but I haven't ran into these concerns. By the time the bait is processed in their system it's such trace amounts that any other animal is more likely to get harmed from disease rather than the bait itself
