As we all know rabbits breed rather frequently hence the well-known adage ‘breeding like rabbits’. A rabbit can have up to 24 young each year!
Land owners have a legal responsibility to keep their land free of rabbits (and rats and mice).
Methods of control
SCH Better Places offers a variety of treatments to control rabbit populations:
• Live capture traps – can be used throughout the year, with any non-target animals caught being released unharmed.
• Kill traps – the placement of fenn traps approved for use on rabbits.
• The installation of rabbit proof fencing – which can prove to be cost prohibitive.
• Shooting.
• The use of phosphine gas (usually a last resort having explored all other options of control).
Our favoured option (looking at a hierarchy of risk) is the use of strategically placed live capture traps. The rabbits being dispatched humanely, with non-target species being released unharmed.
