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.

What I Control in Stradbroke

Rapid breeders that spread disease, contaminate feed, and chew through cables and insulation. Controlled humanely.

Cause extensive crop & pasture damage, undermining banks & fencing. Managed discreetly to protect land & livestock.

Feral flocks foul buildings, contaminate grain stores, & spread parasites. Controlled safely & efficiently around farms & stables.

Invasive & destructive, the cause of near extinction for our red squirrels. Known for stripping bark, raiding nests & property damage.

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

Pests left unchecked can quickly damage feed, crops and buildings, and create hygiene risks for livestock. My free service gives landowners a safe, responsible way to manage pest activity without poisons or traps. By combining fieldcraft with careful planning, I help keep your property and animals safe while maintaining balance in the Suffolk & Norfolk countryside.

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.

Are you insured?

Yes, I’m fully insured. However, in all my years of shooting, this has never been necessary as safety is always the number one priority.

What do you need from me?

Just permission to be on your land. You must be the landowner or leaseholder to grant permission. During my visit, I’ll ask you to sign a simple consent form confirming you’ve given permission for me to shoot on your land.

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.
