Thackray's Pest Control

Another Moleing job completed today for another grateful friend of Thackray's Pest Control.👍😎
The land seems to be totally clear of moles with no new signs of activity as I left this afternoon, but my friend realises that more can move in any time due to her neighbours not bothering controlling the moles on their side of the fence.
The mole hills on the grass banks and silage field have all been levelled and all looks perfect just in time for the arrival of this year’s crop of lambs arriving shortly.
Another first for me today after catching an awful lot of moles in my lifetime including a few white and ginger coloured specimens was to find that I’d actually caught a weasel that had been running the underground mole tunnel system.
I had heard of others very occasionally catching a weasel but it still came as a surprise, shock and moment of sadness for the poor little fella.😢

A great pull of the mole traps at another country house in beautiful North Yorkshire and then reset the traps at the neighbors property before leaving for home.
It’s just none stop but Happy days @ Thackray's Pest Control

😢😢They just don’t work!😢😢

A lovely customer had the expense of buying 20 of these sonic boomers to place in or around every new mole hill that appeared on her lovely lawn and had to endure the constant horrible sonic buzzing from these useless gadgets when ever she went in the garden for the the past 6 months.
Thanks to so many of you constantly recommending me on Facebook, this lady and many other likeminded customers have contacted myself over the years at Thackray's Pest Control and have now been able to dispose of their infernal sonic boomers, windmills, mothballs, jeyes fluid, wine bottles, hosepipes and petrol cans, and be happy that their properties are now mole free.👍😎

A cracking result today up in beautiful North Yorkshire for a customer who was having problems with moles on his lawn and adjacent small pony paddocks that he needed clearing as they were ruining the grazing and the quality of his future crop of silage grass for his horse.
Job done!

An enjoyable ride out on the quad tonight mopping up a few rabbits with the air rifle that were causing grief for the groundskeeper of a local sports centre.
There were not the numbers around like in my usual haunts of North Yorkshire but enough rabbits to cause danger to sportsmen with their constant digging.
Another good night for Thackray's Pest Control

Another busy morning sorting the moles on the golf course and private gardens until the miserable winter weather rolled in and then I spent the afternoon clambering around in customers attics serving eviction notices on the rats.
Always busy and happy to help here Thackray's Pest Control 👍😎

Finally the land was dry enough today to be able to travel around the farm to check my mole traps without causing too much damage to my friends crops.

Happy days moleing 👍😎

A new customer and friend of Thackray's Pest Control rang this week saying that he had been working hard to make everything just perfect for his wife’s special birthday party and was dismayed when he had woken up to find an unwanted guest wreaking havoc over his hard work and could I possibly try and evict it in time for him to tidy up the mess.
Job done 😉
