Responsible Wildlife Management for Farms, Landowners & Commercial Properties

At Vermin8 Pest Control & Drainage, we provide professional wildlife management, pest shooting and traditional pest control services across Leeds, West Yorkshire and surrounding areas.

We offer a range of control methods, including shooting, trapping and traditional techniques such as ferreting for rabbit control, where suitable and legally permitted.

We understand the problems that certain wildlife species can cause to agricultural operations, livestock, crops, buildings and commercial premises.

Our approach combines modern pest management techniques with established traditional methods, allowing us to select the most appropriate solution for each location and situation.

We provide site-specific services for farmers, landowners, estate managers and commercial customers.

Call 0113 403 4994 to discuss your wildlife management requirements.


Our Wildlife & Pest Control Services

Fox Control

Foxes can cause significant problems for poultry keepers, farms and livestock operations.

Where fox activity presents a genuine risk, we assess the circumstances and recommend suitable management options.

Our services may include:

  • Investigation of reported fox activity.
  • Assessment of risks to poultry and livestock.
  • Advice on fencing and preventative measures.
  • Lawful shooting-based control where justified and appropriate.
  • Follow-up advice to help reduce further losses.


Rabbit Control – Shooting & Traditional Ferreting

Rabbit populations can cause considerable damage to agricultural land, crops, gardens, landscaped areas and certain structures through grazing and burrowing.

Vermin8 provides professional rabbit control using a combination of modern and traditional methods, including shooting and ferreting.

Ferreting is a traditional method of rabbit control involving the use of trained ferrets to locate and flush rabbits from their burrows, allowing them to be captured using suitable nets or other lawful methods.

Depending on the site and circumstances, our rabbit control services may include:

  • Assessment of rabbit populations and damage.
  • Shooting-based rabbit control.
  • Traditional ferreting using trained working ferrets.
  • Rabbit netting where appropriate.
  • Advice on rabbit-proof fencing and prevention.
  • Ongoing rabbit management for farms and estates.

We select methods according to site conditions, safety, animal welfare and legal requirements.


Feral Pigeon Control

Feral pigeons can cause problems around agricultural buildings, warehouses, industrial premises and other commercial properties.

Accumulated droppings, nesting material and repeated bird activity can result in hygiene concerns, maintenance problems and damage to buildings.

Our services include:

  • Assessment of pigeon activity.
  • Identification of roosting and access points.
  • Recommendations for bird proofing and exclusion.
  • Consideration of lawful control methods.
  • Shooting-based control where the necessary legal conditions are met.

Wild birds are protected by law, and any lethal control must comply with applicable legislation and licensing requirements.


Grey Squirrel Control

Grey squirrels can cause damage to loft spaces, roof timbers, insulation, electrical wiring, gardens and woodland environments.

Vermin8 provides grey squirrel management for suitable domestic, agricultural, commercial and rural properties.

Our services may include:

  • Investigation of squirrel activity.
  • Assessment of damage and potential entry points.
  • Suitable trapping and control methods.
  • Lawful shooting-based control where appropriate.
  • Recommendations for proofing and preventing further access.

All control work is undertaken with consideration for safety, animal welfare and relevant wildlife legislation.


Agricultural Rat Control

Rats can create serious problems on farms, particularly around livestock buildings, feed stores, grain storage and agricultural premises.

We provide agricultural rodent management using suitable methods, which may include:

  • Rodent inspections and monitoring.
  • Trapping and other appropriate control methods.
  • Shooting-based control where suitable.
  • Identification of harbourage and entry points.
  • Advice on feed storage, hygiene and proofing.


Traditional Pest Control Methods

Combining Traditional Skills With Modern Pest Management

At Vermin8, we recognise that modern pest control equipment isn't always the only solution.

Traditional methods have been used for generations to manage certain pest species, particularly in agricultural and rural environments.

Where appropriate, we incorporate established techniques such as:

  • Ferreting: Using trained working ferrets as part of rabbit control operations.
  • Rabbit netting: Positioning suitable nets to capture rabbits during ferreting operations.
  • Trapping: Using appropriate, lawful traps for relevant pest species.
  • Shooting: Targeted control where suitable, necessary and legally permitted.

The most suitable method depends on the species, location, circumstances and any applicable restrictions.

We aim to use methods that are practical, proportionate and considerate of animal welfare.

Professional, Responsible & Site-Specific Control

Every property and wildlife problem is different.

Before undertaking control work, we consider:

  • The species involved and the extent of the problem.
  • Whether control is necessary and legally permitted.
  • Landowner or occupier permission.
  • Public safety and neighbouring properties.
  • Risks to livestock, domestic animals and non-target wildlife.
  • The suitability of shooting, trapping, ferreting or alternative methods.
  • Relevant animal welfare and wildlife legislation.

Where control isn't suitable, we may recommend preventative measures or alternative management options.

  • Poultry farms and smallholdings.
