Forestry Services
Suddenstrike Ltd is one of the largest suppliers of wildlife management solutions in the North West. We have developed a wide range of services for the forestry industry which can be tailored to suit your needs and enable effective control of any problems you may have.
Weeds such as Bracken; Ragwort; Nettles; Docks; Thistles; Buttercups; Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed, can cause may problems, not only do they look unsightly if left untreated, they will also prevent the growth of new trees and shrubs, as well as damage nursery plants, causing thousands of pounds of damage.
Suddenstrike Ltd offers a service to remove weeds from areas such as - car parks, footpaths, roads, paddocks, amenity areas and forestry plantations. This can be done by either manually removing the weed including its root system or by using a herbicide spray. This is applied by using either a knapsack, a sprayer mounted onto a quad bike or by using an argocat, one of only a few to be used for this type of work in the country.
All of our technicians are fully trained, NPTC qualified, experienced and insured.
In the UK, Rabbits are classed as a major agricultural and horticultural pest. However, the dangers posed by their presence around runways can be just as severe, creating risks to the health and safety of the general public by undermining the runway and by being on the runway during take off and landing where a collision may cause loss of control.
As a company, Suddenstrike Ltd specialises in Rabbit control and management; our technicians have over 100 years of experience between them.
When control is required, great care is taken to find an effective solution which complies with both current legislation and the customers needs. We use various methods of control, all of which are legal and humane, ranging from traditional methods such as ferreting, trapping, long netting and shooting to more modern methods such as Aluminium Phosphide and exclusion fencing.

Rats and Mice are a major problem throughout the UK. Their presence can instantly destroy a companies reputation. Rodents, in particular Rats, have the power to transmit numerous diseases and infections such as Salmonellosis, caused by bacteria of the salmonella group and is one of the most widespread of animal borne diseases, others include Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease) which is thought to be carried by around 50-70% of rats and may result in the loss of human life. Parasites carried and transmitted by rodents also include mites, fleas, tapeworms and ringworm.
If left uncontrolled, rodents can damage property and buildings which can be expensive and also poses a threat to public health. Rodents have to gnaw constantly in order to keep their ever-growing incisor teeth at a manageable size, they frequently gnaw through electrical cables and water pipes potentially causing fire risks and floods.
At Suddenstrike Ltd, we believe that prevention is better than cure. We will conduct a comprehensive site survey in order to compile an Integrated Pest Management System tailored to meet your needs and maintained by a Pest Control Service Agreement, providing you with the highest level of protection and detailed records to make sure that you comply with UK law and legislation.
