That list was only for moles and people calling about woodchucks before they’re active for the year.

When the snow goes out every year I get calls for moles. People see the hills and panic. Since we don’t know when the moles were there and I can’t trap in frozen ground I won’t go out until I see signs of fresh moles activity/thawed ground. It’d be a waste of time.

I made my calls and some said they saw no new activity, the moles were gone. Others weren’t sure or saw new activity. Of those I went out to visit, about half had fresh mole activity and I sold the job. The other half didn’t and I gave them a card to call me if they returned. This usually works pretty well as it builds trust. I didn’t just take their money.

I have bimonthly accounts for pest control. April is my second batch of warm season starts. I have a batch that start end of March too. I haven’t been at these houses since October last year. I just text them the day before heading out. They text back if they no longer want me to come out. I’ve had 3 cancel service this year so far. I’d expect maybe a couple more this month. Anybody left after this month will be on the rest of the year most likely. I suspect that a lot of people are going to have tight budgets this year. These are the ones that tend to leave.
