Early nights on the paddock with less foxes the the land owner started with.

Unfortunately slow nights happen with these feral animals but luckily we still got one finish out, off to the next job.

Stop Feral Pigs from Eating Your Profits.

Caught up with a mob of pigs last night that had pushed their way straight onto the cattle feeders. We managed to clear them out and put a solid number on the ground, but it’s a stark reminder of how much expensive feed these pests steal from your stock.

Whether you are running a small block or tens of thousands of acres, we have the thermal optics and the professional experience to handle the job safely and efficiently.

Trading howls to get the job done.

We were set up on the feeders waiting for some pigs to come in when we spotted this female wild dog sitting up on a hill about 500m away.

Instead of hoping she would wander our way, we decided to strike up a conversation.

After trading a few howls back and forth, curiosity got the better of her, and she came right down to investigate. It was a fatal mistake.

Successfully culled and another major predator removed from the property. One less threat to local livestock.

The unglamorous side of pest control.

Everyone sees the thermal footage and the end results, but a massive part of this industry is biosecurity hygiene.

High-pressure wash downs before accessing a client's property and right after we leave are mandatory. Weeds and soil-borne pathogens can devastate agricultural land.

By ensuring our vehicles, boots, and gear are completely free of foreign seeds and mud, we make sure we are only removing pests, not bringing in new ones.

A highly productive night out on the foxes.

Second trip to conduct a follow up shoot and turned out to be an interesting run.

The total for the 60 acres now is 12 in just over a week with two shoots.

This Cull - 5 Culled and 1 down but not recovered.
Last Cull - 6 Culled

Paddocks where wet and the poor Lithgow got covered in mud aswell as the thermal and lastly the rider.

We have been testing an Ebike for smaller properties with the ability to set up a spotting area and then rip in on the ebike to cull out the target speicies.

Has been working great and will be added to the outfit permanently.

If you need assistance protecting your poultry, livestock, or crops, reach out and see how we can help.

A highly productive night out on the foxes.

We received a call yesterday from a landowner whose poultry was being heavily targeted by local foxes. We were set up on the property by 6pm, and by 10pm, we had 6 foxes on the ground across just 60 acres.

That is a massive amount of predation pressure removed from a small block in a very short window. A fantastic outcome for the client and their livestock.
