THE VIDEO
Our primary goal in creating The Dirt on Moles: Mole Trapping Made Easy was to provide professional-caliber trapping instruction to homeowners in an informative, enjoyable, and easy-to-follow format. Our secondary goal was to stop the flow of please-teach-me-how-to-trap emails that clog our inbox most of the year.
The Dirt on Moles is a straightforward guide to mole control that teaches amateur trappers how to quickly and easily reclaim their lawns. Our simple techniques are so effective against moles that our video has received praise not only from our satisfied customers, but also from professional mole trappers (including a few of our competitors!).
Directed by videographer Jamie Sluder of Digital Motion, Inc. whose credits include the productions of Fortune 500 corporations, the footage is crystal clear and graphics are used throughout the video to illustrate key points. The Dirt on Moles is so well produced that it claimed a 2003 Telly Award, one of the most sought-after honors in the TV, commercial and video industry. Admittedly we had never heard of The Telly Awards either, but it is apparently a big deal if you are in that line of work.
