Rabbits can be a nuisance and can also cause major problems on railway embankments, preventing earthworks from being carried out as well as seriously undermining embankments making them unstable and enhancing the risk of a landslide occurring, endangering public safety.
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.

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.
Once eradication has taken place and any earthworks have been completed, rabbit protection mesh is installed on top of the embankment using either high tensile wire or metal pegs to secure it in place. Once installed, it prevents a re-infestation of the embankment occuring and to stabilise the embankment minimising the risk of landslides.
Birds often roost under bridges, around stations and other associated buildings and structures. This poses potential health and safety risks for both the general public and your workforce, as Pigeons and their droppings alone can carry more diseases transmittable to humans than Rats!
Associated bird problems include -
Transmitting human diseases - as Salmonella, Listeria spp. and Campylobacteria spp., which are all causes of food poisoning. As well as the above pigeons also transmit Ornithosis which when caught is commonly misdiagnosed as flu.
Insect Infestations - Bird nests support a large variety of insect life including blood-feeding insects, fabric-damaging insects, stored food pests and carrion feeding insects. When birds are roosting near human activity, insects can spread from the nest and carry a risk of disease and illness to any surrounding humans.
Endanger Human Safety – Fouling is a serious problem as it can make pavements and stairways slippery, this can then lead to injury to staff and pedestrians.
The presence of any species of bird that are protected can also result in delays in work being carried out or permission for works being granted.
