Rabbit control in Crieff

Rabbit control in Crieff was helped by the recent snowfalls; following rabbit paw prints in the snow helps find where the pests get in and out of gardens and other feeding areas.

Rabbit control in Crieff – rabbit prints in the snow

The prints in the picture are rabbit prints; hare prints are a bit similar but have much more space between them. When snow falls as thickly as it has done it covers up the rabbits’  normal food and so they eat the bark and shoots of saplings and plantings instead; they can do a lot of damage this way in gardens and plantations.

We’ve been using rabbit control in Crieff at a plantation this past year. First we fixed all the weak points and holes in the (supposedly) rabbit-proof fencing that had been installed around it. Then we cleared the rabbits out of warrens and burrows inside the plantation and outside nearby too; we used a combination of ferrets with nets and gassing. This rabbits pest control has worked well, but we’ve been up to the plantation again this past week for more rabbit control in Crieff. This is because the snow fell so deeply against the rabbit-fencing that the pests have managed to climb over it and back into the plantation. We’ll get the rabbits cleared out again soon though.

If you had a problem with rabbits last summer, or you’ve seen too many around this winter, then you need to get control of rabbits now. Winter is the best season for rabbits control because there’s less undergrowth for the pests to hide under. It also reduces the number of adults before they can start, well, breeding like rabbits!  A pair of rabbits can produce 25 young in one summer; some of those baby rabbits could mature and have babies themselves too before the summer is out. That’s an awful lot of rabbits; see this article.
