Rabbit control in a public park
sparky the hunter posted a topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Hi Guys I have been contacted by the parish council as rabbits are causing a lot of damage in the small park next to the village school. The rabbits are travelling in from a neighboring disused garden but the owner does not want any measures taken against them even though she lectured me for ten minutes about the damage they are causing in her garden! So shooting and ferreting are out of the question so cage traps are the best option. Have you guys got any recommendations for suppliers and any hints would be appreciated.

Hello all, A field boundary hedge bottom is a haven for rabbits and I think trapping is the way to go. I am considering ovelapping the existing pig netting with a smaller rabbit proof mesh, then making rabbit sized holes in it for tunnel traps. What is the minimum length of netting to be worth doing and how far apart should the holes be? Thanks.

Saturday morning seen me and BODGERBEAR heading up to WOODGAS, for me to brush up on my snaring skills and BODGERBEAR to start learning PLUS TO PICK UP A BOOK FROM ROB SHARP THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR NOW FOR TWO YEARS . I could tell Woodga was pleased to see me because as soon as I pulled up to his road he ran down the street, straight into his house and locked the door . It was a mixed weekend with a bit of trapping/snaring/shooting/lamping/dry stone walling. Here are a few pics of the weekend Woodgas got a few more pics of the snaring and trapping. We then decded to- 20 replies

1st make sure the trap is the correct way round you would be susprised how many dont. 2nd rub your hands in soil. 3rd allow the trap to rust a little this will make it less visible to thiefs and the rabbits. 4th dont use materials from another location to help cover the trap. 5th try to place in very well used tunnels not bolt holes youve seen the rabbits just run into.
