Wickford Rabbit Control

Rabbits are a typical pest in the countryside, although they can cause issues in cities and in domestic backyards. Rabbits can damage gardens and farmland as they eat many types of plant life and berries. They also breed very rapidly, and so a small number of rabbits can quickly turn into a significant infestation. In some areas, there can even be a legal obligation to keep rabbit numbers under control because of their quick breeding. This law is in place to protect farmland and other areas as these can quickly be affected by rabbits on surrounding land.

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

Specialist pest control companies can 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 carry out an effective approach to controlling the rabbit population in an area.
