One of our regular properties asked for a visit early morning as they had noticed increased activity. This insight helped us snag these 2 wild dogs in Brightview, LV.
One happy farmer indeed 🤠
We do what we can to help when are are able. We are a working family with kids and full time jobs 🙌🏼… we appreciate all the opportunities to get out on the land and help farmers work any pest management issues.
With this drought there will be more active sightings for dogs, foxes and pigs as they look for water and food sources.
Reach out anytime if these services are for you 🤠
Cheers

A successful eradication of a couple lamb killers earlier tonight. One of our returning clients called us back in after the loss of a couple lambs. With activity high on cooler weather and still nights it was only a short wait after sundown to bag the culprits.

These jobs are more successful when out services are requested right at the time of disruption 🙌🏼

Another mid week call out from one of our regular farmers over in Prenzlau. Recently seen activity so we headed out just on dark. Despatch both females within 30 mins of each other. Spent about 2 hours on property all up. Client is certainly happy 🤠.

They are out and about fattening up for winter. Reach out anytime if these services can assist you with your feral pest issues.

With a follow up thermal spotting session in the evening after taking 2 foxes at 4am … 8pm seen another 2 foxes in the same field as the earlier 2.
Here is 1 that also looked to be feeding some older cubs.
We will keep thermal checks all week as we hope to catch the younger foxes wandering from dens in search of food.
It’s quite unusaul for this many foxes to habit such a small area but with the development in our regions all species are forced to confine. Over all there was 1 boy and 3 girls taken, an indication on how quickly the populations can explode without positive pest managements practices in place.
Reach out if our services can help you prepare for the season.

Fox Season Starting

Bagged this pair from our own backyard at 4am in the morning.

As you can see, momma fox has been denned up with a litter and is now heading out to find food sources to teach pups to hunt.

We will be out again later tonight to hopfully bag the litter when they eventually venture out in search of food with no knowledge how.

Now is the time to protect live stock and head count daily. They are leaving dens hungry and keen to teach young ones the ropes.

If you see signs of foxes troubling your livestock don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance 🙌🏼

Got a call late this afternoon from a local farmer we have recently been working with to assist in a feral pig problem with a sighting of a decent mob feeding.

As this was part of our monitoring plan we were more than happy to pack up the fam and head out to assist.

After some quick scout and planning work with the thermal minocular, the .223 made quick work of 2 large sows (1 pregnant) and a suckling, allowing swift actions to snap up the most part of a litter of fresh piglets 🤠.

We now share the joy of hand raising some baby piglets which the kids are more than happy to exercise thier right to love and cuddle cute things 🤩

We will continue to work with the land owner and neighbouring properties to establish an ongoing management plan for the various pests onsite.

Thank you for supporting small business 🤠
