What I do

I provide a 100% free, responsible pest & vermin-control service for landowners, smallholders & rural properties in Ipswich & surrounding areas such as the villages of Kesgrave, Martlesham, Rushmere St Andrew, Claydon, Bramford, Great Blakenham, Copdock, Westerfield, Sproughton & many more.

Typical visits include rabbit control around paddocks, rats in grain stores, and pigeons in barns, all managed safely & humanely using professional fieldcraft & controlled shooting where appropriate. I also consider any other suitable pest species that can be legally and safely shot. Every job is covered by full insurance and carried out discreetly with respect for livestock, property and neighbours. My work helps reduce crop loss, prevent disease and protect valuable agricultural and equestrian facilities across the Ipswich area.

Common Rural Pest Problems

The Ipswich area includes a mix of farmland, smallholdings and equestrian yards, and many more land owners all of which can attract recurring pest issues. Rabbits often dig holes and undermine paddocks, leaving trip hazards for horses. Rats get into feed stores and chew cables, creating both hygiene and fire risks. Feral pigeons make a mess in barns and hay lofts with droppings that can carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. Other legally shootable pest species can also cause damage or contamination around sheds, feed areas and machinery.

I use quiet, moderated air rifles for discreet, effective control, only taking safe, ethically justified shots. Visits are arranged at convenient times, and I can offer practical prevention advice to help you keep feed, bedding and grain protected. Insurance documents and risk assessments are available on request for farms and yards that need compliance records.

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.

Ipswich Vermin Problems

On the rural edge of Ipswich, smallholdings, yards and older buildings can attract a steady mix of rabbit, rat and pigeon problems. Rabbits mark up paddocks and verges, rats target feed areas, and pigeons settle in roof spaces where they contaminate machinery and bales. I cover these outskirts quietly and efficiently, taking only safe, well-backstopped shots and offering practical prevention so stores and loft spaces stay secure.
