All baited up and now just waiting. Fox has taken a load of chickens from the coop. Unfortunately the weather turned very wet but still didn’t deter this big dog fox from trying again.

Out last night on a local beef farm culling the number of rats in the barns. Taking a walk around the fields, spotted a fox looking for prey. Fortunately I had the appropriate rifle with me and the fox was humanly dispatched. A further two foxes spotted in another field about 1/2 mile away. Unfortunately the farmer wants to put lambs in this field shortly so they will have to be taken care of.

If you have the same problem give us a message or call and we will see what and how we can solve it for you .

While a rat can seem cute to see running around in the garden eating the spilt bird food off the ground. Unfortunately one rat can quickly turn into many.
Rats have no bladder and constantly urinate where ever they go leaving a trail of urine. This urine carry desieses such as leptospirosis and coming into contact with this can make you very sick, to the point that it can cause death if not treated in a timely manner.
We work with a number of farmers to keep numbers down on their farms. Using sub 12 silenced air rifles telescopic sights and thermal/infared night vision. Where we cannot shoot we will use traps.
Should you wish for us to help you with a rat problem then contact us through the page and the link.

Whilst moles are protected they can be trapped under certain circumstances. If you want a mole dispatched because you don’t like the molehills I’m sorry but you need a valid reason.

Contact us for more information and if you need our assistance we will make arrangements to visit and give you a quote.
