Rabbit Management
Problems
In the UK, Rabbits are classed as a major agricultural and horticultural pest. It is estimated that Rabbits cause in excess of £100 million worth of damage to agricultural and horticultural land each year. Under the 1954 Pests Act, landowners are obliged to actively control the Rabbit population on their land. Rabbits not only cause millions of pounds worth of damage to agricultural and horticultural land, they may also cause damage to managed woodlands, amenity, recreational and leisure facilities creating public health risks, they also undermine embankments, buildings and other structures.
Solutions
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.
-
Aluminium Phosphide - All Aluminium Phosphide treatments are conducted by fully trained, qualified, insured and experienced technicians. All treatments are carried out to the manufacturers recommendations, specifications, and in accordance with UK law.
After an Aluminium Phosphide treatment has been completed, Suddenstrike Ltd can conduct a gas analysis inspection using the latest gas analysis technology, enabling us to provide you with a computerised statement confirming that the ground is clear of any gas.
-
Exclusion Fencing - Suddenstrike Ltd install many miles of Rabbit exclusion netting per year. We only use the highest quality Rabbit netting that is guaranteed Rabbit proof. Rabbit netting is installed using our own experienced and dedicated team of installers with our own JCB and post knocker, this enables us to install large volumes of high specification Rabbit exclusion fencing efficiently and economically.
