FREE PEST CONTROL
RATS
Wherever you find humans you will find rats. They live under houses, in sewers and beneath garages, sheds and allotment storage areas. They can be found in huge numbers around every farm and especially under pig sheds, cow sheds and around storage silos or other areas. In other words, wherever there is an easy supply of food you will find the rat cashing in on easy meals. Where there is easy food there are many rats breeding and keeping their numbers strong.

PIGEON
You will find them where there is plenty of easy food, as they do not like to work or forage too hard for a living. You will see them around residential areas feeding of of beech masts, seeds, green shoots and various other titbits. Around a farmyard they will be looking for spilled grain or even cattle food pellets. If they get into food storage silos (wheat or suchlike) then they pose a health threat problem.

MAGPIE
Magpies are social birds and tend to congregate in flocks. Magpies are extremely territorial birds and will drive other animals away particularly during nesting periods from July to March. These attacks may result in injury to other birds and even people. Magpies also eat the eggs of other birds.

SQUIRREL
The grey squirrel was first introduced to this country from the USA in 1876. It is now common throughout England, Wales and Scotland and in many areas is considered a pest. Grey squirrels may carry fleas and other parasites. If they get into your property they can cause serious damage. They chew woodwork and ceilings, strip the insulation from electrical wiring, tear up loft insulation to form a nest and sometimes drown in cold water tanks. The noise they make, particularly at night, scratching and running about can be very disturbing. They cause environmental damage, stripping bark off trees causing young trees to die, and can destroy many garden plants with their activities.

RABBIT
Rabbits can cause damage any time of the year. They prefer to eat young, succulent, green vegetation, flowers, vegetables and crops during the growing season. In winter, when there is little green vegetation, rabbits may turn to trees and shrubs for food. They gnaw bark and nip off small branches to get the green, inner bark layer. Rabbits can severely damage or kill landscape plants, orchard trees, windbreak trees and other woody plants during long periods of snow cover. They may kill or deform older plants by girdling (removing the bark completely around the trunk or limb) and removing buds. Young plants may be clipped off at snow level. Occasionally, rabbit populations increase in localized areas to such levels that they significantly damage rangeland vegetation. The greatest economic losses occur during drought years, since there is less vegetation to share between livestock and wildlife.

FOX
Foxes cause economic losses by preying on free-range poultry, and occasionally on young lambs and kid goats. Studies of lamb deaths have shown that most lambs which die do so from natural causes such as starvation, and foxes often feed on the carcasses. However, some foxes do kill healthy young lambs and kids, and can cause serious losses in individual flocks. Foxes in urban areas have been found scavenging on waste food, stealing pet food, and killing backyard poultry.
