What we control

Five pests. One phone call.

No baits, no poisons, no risk to your dogs or stock. Every animal is identified through a thermal scope before a shot is taken.

Foxes

Night thermal sessions timed around lambing, kidding and poultry losses. Dens located and mapped for follow-up visits.

Spring & autumn peak

Rabbits

Small-calibre work around warrens, dams and vineyard rows. Warren locations logged so you can rip or fumigate later.

Year-round

Deer

Fallow, red and hog deer damaging fences, vines and pasture. Carcasses removed or dressed on site where you want the meat.

Game Licence held

Feral cats

Positive ID only. Collared, ear-tagged or neighbouring pets are never targeted, and we work with the Shire's cat rules.

Bush-edge properties

Rats

Shooting around stables, hay sheds, chook pens and feed rooms where baits are a danger to dogs, horses and owls.

Bait-free

Where we work

The whole Peninsula, no travel charge

From Mount Eliza to Portsea and across to Westernport. Night sessions are usually booked within a week of your assessment, and properties close to townships are handled under our Public Place Permit with local police notified before every job.

How it works

Assessment to follow-up

Site assessment

Free daytime visit. We walk the boundaries, find sign, map safe firing lanes and neighbours, and agree a plan with you.

Paperwork done for you

Landholder authority signed and police notified. You don't chase anything.

Night session

Thermal optics, typically 4 hours from dusk. Every shot taken with a clear backstop and positive identification of the target.

Report & follow-up

A short tally and a map of dens and warrens the next morning, with a recommendation on whether a repeat visit is worth it.

Who you're dealing with

Owner-operated, Peninsula-based

One licensed operator, not a franchise. You deal with the person who turns up, and the same person every visit.

  • Victorian Category A/B firearms licence, Game Licence
  • Public Place Permit for work close to houses and roads

Common questions

Before you book

My block is only five acres. Can you still shoot there?

Usually yes. Small blocks near neighbours need a Public Place Permit, which we hold, and the plan is set at a daytime assessment.

Is the first night really free?

Yes, one free night per property. You see the tally and the den map before you pay for anything.

Is shooting better than baiting for foxes?

On the Peninsula, yes. Most blocks are too close to neighbours, dogs and public land to lay 1080 or PAPP legally or safely. Shooting is target-specific and leaves nothing in the paddock.

When is the best time of year for fox control?

Late winter and spring during lambing and kidding, and again in autumn when the year's cubs disperse. For poultry losses, any time you are losing birds.

Is it legal to shoot on a lifestyle block near town?

Only with a Victoria Police Public Place Permit, which we hold. We also notify the local police station before each session.
