Targeted Rabbit Control for Farms, Estates, and Commercial Land

Rabbit control is essential for landowners who face constant damage and costs from these fast-breeding pests. Burrows collapse paths, damage machinery, and undermine buildings. Crops get stripped, fields become hazardous, and expenses mount quickly. At Sky Raiders, we provide professional rabbit control services using quiet, effective methods tailored to your site. No poisons, no drama, just proper results.

Why Rabbits Are a Serious Problem

  • Burrowing Damage: Weakens fence lines, driveways, foundations, and even roads. As a result, repair costs rise quickly.
  • Crop Loss: Rabbits strip young shoots, roots, and grains across fields.
  • Safety Hazards: Burrows put horses, livestock, vehicles, and people at risk. In addition, collapsed ground can injure riders and livestock.
  • Rapid Breeding: Populations explode if not dealt with early. Consequently, landowners must act before numbers spiral.
  • Increased Predator Activity: More rabbits attract more foxes, which create additional problems.

Our Rabbit Control Methods

Night Shooting

The most efficient and discreet method of rabbit control. We use air rifles or rimfire rifles (where permitted) with night scopes and silencers. Therefore, there is no disturbance, no spotlighting, and no risk to neighbours or livestock.

Ferreting

Ideal for hedge lines, banks, ditches, and awkward terrain. We use working ferrets to flush rabbits from warrens into purse nets or to guns. Quiet, selective, and effective for dense or inaccessible ground.

Burrow Mapping & Monitoring

We survey your land to identify warrens, hotspots, and track movement before planning control.

Habitat Disruption Advice

Practical recommendations reduce shelter and feeding opportunities, making your land less attractive long-term.

Exclusion & Fencing Consultation

Temporary or permanent rabbit control fencing options discussed, including proofing for infrastructure and fenced zones.
