The British Traditional Molecatchers Register are delighted that it goes to such a worthy winner and fine ambassador for this great profession. When told of the award Dave replied......

"I have been working in the Pest Control business for Root n Rodent for about 26 years and specialising in moles for Mole Control since learning to catch them the traditional way from a respected old local Traditional Molecatcher

He taught me the skills of the countryman and let me in on the secret ways of the mole. I will always remember the thrill of checking my traps for the first time and finding my first mole!

I still get that same feeling of achievement every time even now.

I have a job that I have enjoyed from that very first success. The mole is a very worthy adversary and is not always easy to outwit.

I am now passing my knowledge onto a younger employee of our company who also enjoys learning the old ways as it is so important to pass these skills on so that they are not lost.

I plan to be “The Mole Man” for many more years and become as skilled and knowledgeable as my mentor."
