What I do

I provide a 100% free, responsible pest & vermin-control service for landowners, smallholders and rural properties in Stradbroke and surrounding villages such as Bedingfield, Braiseworth Redlingfield, Southolt, Thorndon and many more.

Typical visits include rabbit control around paddocks, rats in grain stores, and pigeons nesting in barns – all handled safely and humanely using professional fieldcraft and controlled shooting where suitable. I also consider any other pest or vermin species that can be legally and safely shot. All work is fully insured and carried out discreetly with respect for property, livestock and neighbours. My goal is to help protect local farms, equestrian yards and countryside homes throughout the Stradbroke area.

I’ll manage any pest or vermin that’s safe to be shot

Shooting is one of the most reliable and humane methods of pest control, offering a safe and discreet way to deal with problem species that can’t be trapped or baited effectively. While the icons above show the pests I’m most commonly asked to manage, I can assist with any vermin or pest that is suitable and legal to be controlled by rifle or air-rifle, always with the landowner’s permission and in line with safety, licensing and animal-welfare guidelines. If you’re unsure whether your particular issue is suitable for shooting, please get in touch.

Common Rural Pest Problems

The countryside around Stradbroke includes farmland, smallholdings, businesses and stable owners that regularly face pest issues. Rabbits dig holes that weaken paddocks and garden areas, rats contaminate feed and chew electrical wiring, and feral pigeons foul hay stores and machinery with droppings that can carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. Other shootable species, such as corvids or grey squirrels, can also damage feed, insulation and timber structures.

I use quiet, moderated rifles for discreet, humane control – only taking safe, justified shots after assessing the site. Visits are arranged at convenient times, and I can advise on long-term prevention measures to help you avoid repeat problems. Full insurance documents and risk assessments are available for farms and equestrian premises that require them.

Strabroke Verimin Issues

Stradbroke’s farms and smallholdings regularly report rabbit activity on pasture, rats in feed rooms and stores, and pigeons roosting in older timber roofs. I manage control quietly and respectfully, with insured evening or early-morning visits where needed, and I’ll advise on simple fixes that help keep fencing, feed and outbuildings in better shape for the long term.
