We live on a small island which is getting rather overcrowded. As we fight for space with other residents it is inevitable there will be some clashes.
Traditionally the answer has been simply to kill the animal either by hunting, shooting, gassing, poisoning, snaring or trapping. We believe that, not only are
these methods barbaric and utterly unjustifiable, but they are also ineffective, especially in the long term.
Changes to the habitat are the key to humane and effective methods of wildlife control. Without removing the things which attracted the animals to the area in the
first place, pest control cannot succeed as any removed individuals will be replaced by others attracted by those same things. Animals are attracted by food, shelter
and by safe areas in which to nest. By identifying and removing those things, the animals can be discouraged from breeding and encouraged to disperse. Please follow
the links to read about how these methods can be applied to common pest species.
