Tyne and Wear Rabbit Control

Rabbits are a widespread pest in the countryside, although they can cause problems in urban areas and in domestic gardens. Rabbits damage gardens and farmland as they eat various kinds of vegetation and berries. Additionally they breed very swiftly, and so a tiny number of rabbits can easily turn into a serious infestation. In certain areas, there can even be a legal requirement to keep rabbit numbers under control because of the quick breeding. This legislation is in place to protect farmland and other areas as these can easily be affected by rabbits on surrounding land.

There are various different pest control methods that can be used to effectively control rabbit populations. Trapping, snaring, gun and dog, ferreting and gassing are used. Different methods will be effective in different areas, and the kind of method used is commonly chosen due to the geography of the region. For instance, certain types of traps like drop traps are often used in locations that are very visible to the public, as rabbit control may need to be accomplished discreetly.

Specialist 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. Using this method, they will be able to perform an effective approach to controlling the rabbit population in an area.
