Hartlepool Rabbit Control

Rabbits are a typical pest in the countryside, although they can cause problems in cities and in domestic back gardens. Rabbits damage gardens and farmland as they eat many types of plant life and berries. They also breed very swiftly, and so a tiny amount of rabbits can easily become a sizeable infestation. In a few areas, there may even be a legal obligation 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 affected by rabbits on neighbouring land.

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

Expert 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 method of controlling the rabbit population in an area.
