Shooting Pest Control help in West Yorkshire

Shooting can be one part of pest control on farms, smallholdings and suitable large gardens. It is never the default answer, and many sites are not suitable for it at all.

We only shoot on land where the landowner, or whoever holds the shooting rights, has given permission. Shooting is only done by a person who holds the firearm or shotgun certificate the law requires for the firearm being used, and you are welcome to ask to see it before any work is agreed.

Before any work we walk the site and carry out a risk assessment: boundaries, buildings, livestock, roads, neighbours and public rights of way are mapped, and safe shooting areas are agreed with you.

We only take lawful quarry species, such as rabbits, rats and grey squirrels, and only where a clean, humane shot is possible. We do not shoot near public rights of way, roads or buildings, and no shot is taken without a safe backstop.

What happens next

  1. Confirm the pest, the land, and who owns it or holds the shooting rights

  2. Get the landowner's permission before anything is arranged

  3. Walk the site and complete a risk assessment: boundaries, buildings, livestock, rights of way and safe backstops

  4. Agree timing, safe areas, and any follow-up, or recommend another method where shooting is not suitable
