Andover Rabbit Control

Rabbits are a common pest in the countryside, although they can cause problems in cities and in domestic back gardens. Rabbits affect gardens and farmland as they eat various kinds of plants and berries. Additionally they breed very swiftly, and so a small amount of rabbits can easily become a sizeable infestation. In certain 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 quickly be damaged by rabbits on nearby land.

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

Experienced pest control companies can survey the area and locate the rabbit infestation, along with noting down any runs that are frequently used. By doing this, they will be able to carry out an effective approach to controlling the rabbit population in an area.
