HOW IT WORKS
Stage 1 - Site Visit & Property Inspection
The first step is come to your property where we can meet for the first time and I can learn about the issues you're facing. It is paramount that we inspect your boundaries together and view any previous damage caused by feral species. This initial inspection will enable me to give you an accurate priced based on your needs.
Stage 2 - Two Week Starter Package
Due to the nature of working with wild animals, new customers are offered an initial starter package. It includes a reduced price due to the nature of operations in the first two weeks. This is a period in which safety protocols are established and we get a chance to learn your property and animal patterns. It is also a chance for you to judge our work and build trust together, without the high fees.
Stage 3 - On-going Intensive Operations
This is when we introduce more equipment, operations occur at a higher intensity. Late night, early morning or day time operations occur. This is dependant on the neighbouring properties and your daily farm activities. Everything that is included in this stage is contained within our Stage 3 Feral Animal Control Program & Property Access Agreement.
Stage 4 - Reduced Pressure Maintenance Operations
Once Stage 3 has been completed, i.e. the population of feral animals are at a level that both you and our business are happy with, we ramp down the intensity and operational days. We align your expectations of what on-going maintenance looks like and ensuring we agree on a price that enables effect population control without breaking the bank.
Trapping
For animals that cannot be dispatched, such as wombats, we offer humane trapping services. Our team ensures that the animals are trapped safely and humanely, and we work with local services to find the best solutions for each animal.
The Real World Applications Of Shooting Animals
During operations animals die. We do not leave their bodies to rot. We use them. I personally feel a respect for each animal, and it would be a dishonour to that animal not to try and use as much of its remains as possible. That's why we have other verticals that enable the usage of many animals parts into other products.
Feral animal control is, by nature, confronting work. We do not treat it lightly. Every animal is handled with respect, and where appropriate, we ensure that it is not simply left as waste. Usable parts are recovered and utilised responsibly in other business ventures wherever possible.
