Vertebrate pest management
Tailored control programs matched to your property, your species and your objectives, scoped and reported end to end.
A control program is not a visit. It is a scoped piece of work with an objective, a method chosen for the species and the country, and a record at the end that shows what changed.
We design a control program around your property and your pressure, then report on the outcome with GIS-ready data you can put straight into your records.
The species we work on
Feral pigs, foxes, wild dogs, feral deer, rabbits, feral goats, feral cats and problem birds. Each of those wants a different method, and a program that treats them the same gets a poor result on most of them.
Feral pigs move in mobs and respond to thermal night work and trapping. Foxes are solitary and are taken accurately after dark. Deer need targeted reduction across the country they actually use. Rabbits are a warren and pasture problem before they are a shooting problem. The program is built accordingly.
A clear, accountable process
Site assessment. We talk through your property, the species and the pressure, then assess access, risk and the right control mix.
Thermal mapping. Drone and thermal surveying to locate and validate feral-game presence, hotspots and likely numbers before we act.
Control operation. Trapping, baiting and accurate thermal shooting, executed safely and humanely under full licence and insurance.
Reporting. Detailed post-operation reporting with GIS-ready outputs and chain-of-custody documentation for your records.
Who we work for
Farmers and graziers, rural landholders and small acreage owners, councils and government, Landcare groups, agribusiness, golf courses and industrial sites.
Where the work is funded or contracted, the documentation matters as much as the control. See feral animal control contracts for how that is set up.
Compliant, auditable, accountable
Current licences, permits and full insurance cover on every job. Post-operation reports with mapped data and counts you can drop straight into your records and grant acquittals. Documented, auditable processes from site assessment through to outcomes.
That is the whole proposition: vertebrate pest control you can stand behind, to your board, your auditor, or your neighbours.
FAQ
Common questions
What is vertebrate pest management?
It is the planned control of feral vertebrate animals across a property, as a program rather than a one-off visit. It covers assessment, survey, the control work itself, and the reporting that records what changed.
Which animals do you control?
Feral pigs, foxes, wild dogs, feral deer, rabbits, feral goats, feral cats and problem birds, the last under the appropriate approvals.
Is one visit enough?
A single visit brings numbers down but does not hold them down. Whether you need a single knock-down or sustained pressure across a season depends on the species and how established the problem is, and the site assessment is where that is decided.
Do you provide reporting?
Yes, detailed post-operation reporting with GIS-ready outputs and chain-of-custody documentation, suitable for records, audits and grant acquittals.
