Frequently Asked Questions

We offer feral animal control programs for Indian myna birds, pigeons, rabbits, hares, feral cats, foxes, wild dogs, feral pigs, feral goats, feral deer, feral donkeys, feral horses, and any other feral animals you may have. 

We also offer control programs for native species like kangaroos and wallabies. For native animal control, landholder permits to harm native wildlife must first be obtained from your local NPWS Office. Please let us know if you need help with this application.

We generally don't offer any baiting or trapping services. That's not to imply that baiting or trapping isn't effective in appropriate situations. However, generally speaking, we believe the use of poison baits and traps is a non-selective and inhumane method of feral animal control.

Poison baits remain active for months and have the potential to harm native fauna and non-target species including domestic and working animals. The same harm potential also applies to various trapping methods.

A well-placed shot is the most effective and humane method of destroying a feral animal.

This is a tricky situation as some feral animals like foxes and wild dogs can be incredibly evasive. They certainly have a mind of their own and most times won't show up on schedule.  This can make it tough on any contract shooter and customer alike. 

We, of course, want to get great results for every customer, but the reality is, successful programs targeting evasive feral animals can take time and repeated visits. This is something we are upfront about and quote accordingly to ensure your expectations are realistic. 

Depending on your circumstances, we may recommend trapping or baiting instead, as this approach may be more effective.

For rural jobs, we primarily operate at night, during the times when feral animals are most active. For peri-urban jobs like rat and pigeon control in industrial areas, we generally operate at a time outside your normal business hours or whenever the pest animals are most active.

Basically, we make every effort to be available when you need us, so we don't work fixed hours.

We are based in Lake Macquarie, NSW. However, we run feral animal control programs all over NSW. We are more than willing to travel, so if you have a feral animal control need anywhere in NSW, please get in touch to see if we can help. Our travel costs are minimal, and since we love what we do, we have no problem hitting the road.

We are licensed to conduct professional contract shooting and trapping operations on all land zoned for rural use, plus all peri-urban land zones like business areas, industrial areas, recreational areas like golf courses, schools and council parks. Residential zoned areas are excluded without exception.

In most cases, yes, absolutely! As part of visiting a new property, we require the landowner or manager to show us around the problem areas in daylight so that we know where we are going and can be effective that first night.

The only time we discourage the landholder from attending is during an operation targeting an extremely evasive feral animal where silence and stealth are paramount.

No, we don't, and here's why: the old adage is true that "you get what you pay for". This is why we don't compete on price if a competitor provides you with a cheaper quote. What we do compete on is value for money and delivering the best possible results. This is why all our services are backed by our Unbeatable Guarantee.

There are many operators in our industry that advertise 'professional' credentials. However, there are very few operators who are actual professionals.

Please be very careful when engaging a professional shooter or team. Ask them upfront to provide copies of their firearm licences, prohibited weapons permits, professional qualifications, and insurance, along with references from well-known bodies (government agencies, councils, etc) that they've contracted for before you engage their services.
