Devon Rabbit Control

Rabbits are a typical pest in the countryside, although they can cause problems in cities and in domestic back gardens. Rabbits cause damage to gardens and farmland as they eat many types of plants and berries. In addition they breed very rapidly, and so a small amount of rabbits can quickly become a substantial infestation. In some areas, there could even be a legal requirement to keep rabbit numbers under control due to their quick breeding. This legislation is in place to protect farmland and other areas as these can easily be damaged by rabbits on surrounding land.

There are numerous different pest control methods which can be used to successfully control rabbit populations. Trapping, snaring, gun and dog, ferreting and gassing are used. Different methods will be effective in different areas, and the type of method used is normally chosen due to the geography of the region. For example, certain types of traps like drop traps are frequently used in locations that are very visible to the public, as rabbit control may need to be carried out discreetly.

Qualified pest control companies will be able to survey the area and locate the rabbit infestation, along with noting down any runs that are frequently used. By doing this, they’ll be able to carry out an successful method of managing the rabbit population in an area.
