I'm alive and well.
Just finished up 4 ADC jobs. Trapped 85 rats that brought me $850.00 and that dosen't include the set up fees.
Caught 2 $500.00 beaver. The city states that all beaver removed from the parks have to be caught and removed alive. Well they had some rookie In there that never caught anything. So they asked me to give them a quote. My quote was $500.00 per beaver .
First check one live snared beaver. 4th check was the second live snared beaver. I really don't think $500.00 per beaver was enough. You ever tried to get a live 60Lb beaver In a NAFA sack. It's not easy.

Caught 2 more beaver at another job but there I could use lethal methods. So I only charged a $300.00 set up fee and $100.00 per beaver.

The three rat jobs were a breeze.

$500.00 set up fee on one job where I caught 26 rats @ $10.00 per rat. Lost 6 colony traps at that job. Just part of doing this job.

Next job was a $300.00 set up fee and $10.00 per rat rate.

took 27 rats In 2 checks and pulled out.

Next job same set up fees and rat price.

Took 32 rats In 2 checks and pulled out.

Will hit all these jobs again In the spring. Hope there are no more beaver that have to be caught alive.

Know It's time to start deer hunting.

The rats were not quite prime but very close.

Just curious. Not trying to be a smart butt. When the beaver are supposed to be caught and removed off the property alive. Once they leave that property do they have to stay that way?
