Services we provide

Trapping

Safe and humane trapping solutions for pest animals, including feral cats, wild dogs, and pigs. Our traps are carefully placed to protect livestock and native wildlife while effectively reducing pest numbers.

Ground & Night Shooting

Targeted removal of feral deer, pigs, goats, and other pest animals using professional ground shooting techniques. Night operations with Thermal technology are conducted safely and efficiently for optimal control.

Pest Monitoring & Property Assessments

Comprehensive property inspections and monitoring programs to identify pest activity, assess damage, and develop long-term management strategies. We provide clear advice tailored to your property’s needs.

Integrated Pest Management Programs

Short-Term Control: For immediate pest problems, such as rabbits, foxes, or feral pigs causing urgent damage, we offer short-term control programs that include professional shooting, trapping, or targeted baiting. These are effective for reducing pest numbers quickly and do not require a full property assessment or long-term plan.

Custom Long-Term Management Plans: For larger properties, ongoing pest pressure, or multiple pest species, we develop custom long-term management plans. This includes a property assessment, monitoring, follow-up visits, and preventative strategies tailored to your land, livestock, and crops. Quotes for these plans are provided after assessment, ensuring the program is effective, safe, and compliant with NSW regulations.

By separating short-term control from full-scale management, we can offer flexible, cost-effective solutions that suit both urgent needs and long-term property protection.

Long-term pest management plans combine baiting, trapping, and shooting to reduce pest populations and minimise ongoing impacts on agriculture and native ecosystems.

Baiting Programs

We have the ability to do stand alone baiting programs or work in with local government agencies for targeted baiting programs to control wild dogs, foxes, feral pigs, rabbits, and other pest species on your property. Using approved methods and safe handling practices, we help reduce pest populations, protect livestock, and minimise damage to crops and pasture.

Our approach ensures plans are effective, practical, and tailored to each property’s unique needs.

Effective long-term vertebrate pest management includes ongoing monitoring to track pest activity, assess the success of control methods, and ensure the program remains effective. Monitoring may include regular inspections, camera traps, and reviewing baiting, trapping, and shooting results. This allows us to adjust strategies to use the most effective methods, protecting both agricultural productivity and native ecosystems.
