Why rural sites need a field-led plan
Species read properly
The control plan is based on the animal, the land and the type of damage being caused.
Land and buildings covered
We can assess open ground, outbuildings, stored materials and vulnerable structures.
Protection as well as control
Where repeated losses matter, fencing or proofing may be better than repeat action alone.
Rural pest pressure rarely looks the same
Rural pest pressure rarely looks the same from one holding to the next. Damage can involve stored feed, buildings, crops, paddocks, managed habitats or livestock areas, and the right response depends on reading the land properly. We provide farm pest control in Newton Abbot for farmers, estates, landowners and rural property owners, using a bespoke mix of trapping, shooting operations, rat control, building proofing and protective fencing according to the species and the site. Our background includes 38 years of gamekeeping experience, which helps us read wildlife behaviour, ground conditions and the patterns that often decide whether control will hold or need to be reworked.
Control, night work and physical protection
Work can include management of rabbits, moles, grey squirrels, mink, stoats, foxes, deer, corvids and pigeons, with each method tied to the damage or risk being controlled. We are FAC certified and bring decades of responsible firearms and airgun experience, including discreet low-impact night work using thermal scopes, spotters and night-vision equipment where appropriate. In some settings, physical protection is the better answer, so we can also discuss rabbit or deer fencing and building proofing to reduce repeat loss or intrusion.
Frequently asked questions
What types of rural pest problems can you help with?
We can help with a wide range of rural pest and wildlife issues affecting crops, livestock, buildings, stored materials and managed ground. The mix of work may include trapping, shooting operations, rat control, proofing or protective fencing.
Is fencing ever better than repeated control?
Yes, sometimes physical protection is the more sensible long-term answer. Rabbit or deer fencing, for example, may protect land or planted areas more reliably than repeated control alone, depending on the site and the pressure it faces.
Can you carry out discreet night work on rural sites?
Yes, where it is appropriate and lawful. Our rural work can include low-impact night operations using thermal scopes, spotters and night-vision equipment, with the method chosen around the species, the ground and the surrounding risks.
