Equipment Used

The equipment we use is specifically tailored for the job at hand. For peri-urban jobs like feral bird control in industrial areas and schools, we use day/night-vision equipped air rifles that are tuned for indoor work to prevent any damage to infrastructure.

For small to large rural jobs, we use appropriately sized firearms for the target feral animal, equipped with either thermal or night-vision optics to ensure the best chance of a successful operation. For feral animal control operations targeting multiple feral animals or large groups of feral animals, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns are used to maximise our efficiency and give the greatest value for money for our customers.

For aerial culling operations, we use high-capacity semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, equipped with red-dot optics to ensure the efficient and humane destruction of any pest animals involved in the program.

Wherever possible, our firearms are fitted with silencers/suppressors to ensure the most effective results and the least amount of noise pollution in surrounding areas. This is especially important in peri-urban and public access areas, as well as small-block rural jobs where nearby civilians or neighbouring properties may be alarmed by an un-suppressed gunshot.
