A Mole in the Hole
They're not really something you tend to think about very often. Not unless you're reading The Wind in the Willows.
Or, unless you've got an infestation.
Moles. They're seen by many as cute, cuddly little creatures, so blind they can't really see anything above ground. But thanks to Mr Mole Man, I know that this isn't the case at all. They do incredible damage to property, and can be very dangerous indeed. Thanks to him, who incidentally is the nicest pest controller you'll ever meet, I've learnt all about the havoc moles can cause, and how to keep their hills away from your garden.
Together, we've helped people in the Shropshire area realise exactly what they need to do if they have a mole problem, and we've begun educating people about how popular fiction has produced those "furry" myths about the harmlessness of moles. You can read more about that here.
Moles are actually quite fascinating creatures, so long as they stay away from your lawns or fields! Working for Mr Mole Man allowed me to delve deep into the mysteries of those underground dwelling creatures, and it was fun researching everything about them, and how to protect your land from them.
It's one of the best things about copywriting. Learning all about things I never thought I would come across. And then knowing I have helped someone to make a difference. It's also great for the general knowledge, making me a formidable pub quiz opponent!
