ANIMAL TRAPPING
We offer professional animal trapping services using modern and humane methods of capture for wild animal population reduction programs. This service is used for feral animal control including cats, foxes, wild dogs/dingoes, goats, pigs, birds, native pest animals and escaped animals.
Our success rate on trapping foxes, wild dogs and feral cats is the highest in the industry, with average annual capture rates of foxes of 1 per 8 trap nights in high risk locations, and 1:6 generally.
ANIMAL SHOOTING
Our animal control services include professional shooting and hunting for population control and eradication programs. Shooting is conducted by specially trained and qualified professional shooters, using the latest quality equipment to control foxes, wild dogs/dingoes, feral cats, feral pigs, feral goats, donkeys, camels, deer, birds, rabbits, native pest fauna and escaped animals.
Our senior operational staff also conduct aerial culling operations from helicopters, a procedure used across all states in Australia for population control of feral pigs, goats, camels, donkeys, horses and buffalo.
POISONING PROGRAMS
Managing Director Mike Butcher has been involved with professional animal poisoning programs in Australia for nearly 40 years, and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge through conducting hundreds of carefully planned and highly successful poisoning programs to control feral and introduced pest animals.
Pest animal control poisoning programs are undertaken using 1080, strychnine, pindone, alphachloralose, phosphine, etc., and are carefully planned and executed for use predominantly on wild dogs/dingoes, feral pigs, rabbits, foxes and some pest birds.
