🦆🐓🕊️ ANOTHER MAJOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PROJECT – GIVING FERAL ANIMALS A SECOND CHANCE!

This week, our team at The Exterminator undertook yet another major operation involving the humane collection and relocation of a considerable number of feral ducks from the Maltese environment.

🦆❤️ We are delighted to report that these ducks have been successfully rehomed, thanks to the kindness and generosity of some truly compassionate individuals who were willing to welcome them into their care!

It is genuinely encouraging to know that there are still so many good-hearted people willing to contribute to responsible animal welfare while helping us address the growing challenges posed by feral and introduced species.

Wildlife management is not always about extermination. Whenever practical and ecologically appropriate, humane collection and responsible rehoming can provide an alternative that benefits both animal welfare and our fragile native ecosystems.

📢 MORE ANIMALS WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

🐓 A colony of feral chickens

🕊️ A colony of feral pigeons

Both groups are expected to become available for responsible rehoming in the near future.

❤️ WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE THESE ANIMALS A NEW HOME?

We warmly invite individuals with suitable facilities, experience and a genuine commitment to animal welfare to contact us regarding adoption.

All rehoming will be subject to appropriate welfare considerations, responsible containment and applicable requirements to ensure that these animals are properly cared for and are not released back into the wild.

Protecting Malta's native biodiversity and respecting animal welfare should always go hand in hand.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already helped us make these efforts possible!

🦞🔬 AN INTERESTING PROJECT UNDERWAY Regarding the CRAYFISH situation IN THE MALTESE ISLANDS! 🇲🇹🌿

Although we cannot reveal too much at this stage, we are currently undertaking a fascinating project concerning the presence, abundance and distribution of crayfish in Malta, particularly the invasive Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

As part of our ongoing work in professional pest management, and in collaboration with the relevant authorities, we are actively involved in the management and collection of these invasive crustaceans.

Some particularly interesting scientific findings are emerging, especially regarding population abundance, distribution and colour morphologies, including some remarkable variations observed among collected specimens.

More information and research findings will be shared in due course, so stay tuned!

🦞 WHAT HAPPENS TO THE COLLECTED CRAYFISH?

All specimens are humanely collected and culled as part of the ongoing management efforts.

Rather than allowing these specimens to go to waste, we are making freshly frozen crayfish available FREE OF CHARGE, exclusively for use as animal feed, particularly for suitable aquatic pets and other species that naturally consume crustaceans.

Anyone interested in obtaining specimens for this purpose is welcome to contact us for further information and assistance, subject to availability and suitability on 9988 7950.

Effective pest management is not simply about controlling unwanted species. It is also about scientific research, understanding ecological impacts and protecting our native biodiversity.

MALTA'S WILDLIFE – ARE WE PROTECTING IT OR DESTROYING IT? Yesterday i had the pleasure of appearing on Hu Break! on Tokis Channel, where we discussed a subject very close to my heart – the alarming transformation of Malta's natural biodiversity!

🐢🐓🦞 Do we really know what Maltese wildlife is anymore?

Many people today believe that the animals they encounter around our islands represent our natural wildlife. Yet, in reality, much of what we are increasingly seeing consists of alien and introduced species, some of which are actively threatening our indigenous fauna.

Why are we increasingly encountering feral chickens, terrapins , cats and invasive crayfish instead of appreciating our native and endemic species, such as the Maltese wall lizard? 🦎

During the programme, we explored some important questions:

What actually constitutes native Maltese wildlife?

How are alien and invasive species affecting our fragile ecosystems?

Are we unknowingly contributing to the destruction of our natural heritage?

What can we do to reverse this worrying trend?

What role should scientific pest management, responsible wildlife management and conservation play in protecting our biodiversity?

Not everything living in nature belongs there, and not every animal we feed or protect is necessarily helping our environment!

🇲🇹 Our natural heritage is unique, irreplaceable and increasingly vulnerable. Understanding the difference between native and alien species is the first step towards protecting it.

DON'T MISS THIS FASCINATING DISCUSSION ON TOKIS!

The programme is also available ON DEMAND, so make sure to catch it!
