Feral Animal Control Services
Professional pest control programmes tailored to each species and property. We use integrated pest management combining ground shooting, baiting, trapping, and thermal drone surveillance.
Species Control
Feral Pig Control NSW
Feral pigs cause an estimated $100 million in agricultural damage annually in Australia, destroying crops, killing livestock, and spreading disease. Professional control combines ground shooting, 1080 baiting, trapping, and thermal surveillance in coordinated programmes across neighbouring properties to achieve lasting population reduction.
Fox Control NSW
Foxes cause an estimated $198 million in agricultural damage nationally each year, primarily through lamb predation, with losses of 2 to 30% of lambs in affected flocks. Effective fox control combines 1080 baiting programmes, precision thermal shooting, and coordinated property management timed around lambing season.
Feral Deer Control NSW
NSW has six established feral deer species: fallow, red, sambar, rusa, chital, and hog deer. Populations are exploding across the Hunter Valley, Northern Tablelands, and North Coast, causing millions in damage through crop grazing, fence destruction, and vehicle collisions. Professional control uses ground shooting and thermal drone surveillance for humane management.
Wild Dog Control NSW
Wild dogs cause an estimated $89 million in damage to Australian livestock annually, with the Northern Tablelands and North West NSW among the worst-affected regions. Effective control requires 1080 baiting, trapping, and ground shooting coordinated with Local Land Services wild dog management plans across neighbouring properties.
Rabbit Control NSW
Rabbits cause over $200 million in agricultural damage annually in Australia, degrading pastures, causing soil erosion, and competing with livestock for feed. Effective control combines warren destruction, Pindone or 1080 baiting programmes, and follow-up shooting to target populations at the source for lasting results.
Pigeon Control NSW
Feral pigeons contaminate grain stores, corrode building materials with acidic droppings, and spread diseases including histoplasmosis and salmonella. Effective pigeon control for rural properties and grain facilities combines shooting, trapping, exclusion netting, and hygiene management for lasting population reduction.
Control Methods
Ground Shooting Services NSW
Ground shooting is the most targeted and immediate method for reducing feral animal populations. Professional operators use precision rifles with thermal imaging and night-vision equipment to achieve humane, single-shot kills in all conditions, day and night. AHCPMG304 certification ensures operators meet national humane destruction standards.
Baiting Programs NSW
Baiting with 1080, PAPP, and Pindone is the most cost-effective method for reducing feral pig, fox, and wild dog populations across large areas. Professional baiting programmes coordinated with neighbouring properties and Local Land Services deliver landscape-scale pest reduction that shooting alone cannot achieve.
Trapping Programs NSW
Trapping with species-appropriate designs (soft-jaw, cage, panel, and corral traps) is particularly effective for wild dogs, foxes, and feral pigs in areas where shooting or baiting is not suitable, such as near dwellings, livestock, or in dense vegetation.
Thermal Drone Surveys NSW
Thermal-equipped drones detect and map feral animal populations by their body heat signatures. A single survey can cover hundreds of acres in hours, revealing animals hidden in scrub and long grass that ground-level observation would miss. This data drives smarter, more targeted pest control programmes.
Property Assessment NSW
A property pest assessment surveys feral animal activity across your land, identifying species present, population estimates, damage patterns, and risk areas. The assessment produces a written report with recommended control strategies, priority areas, and a tailored pest management programme.
