PIL 7 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Just got off the phone to a well spoken lady enquiring if I could come and sort an infestation of rabbits out for her as a friend of hers highly recommended me . She asked my preferred method to eradicate the problem as her husband had borrowed an air rifle "and managed to get a couple" :laugh: . I said that I would also use an air rifle but mine is fitted with night vision so the job could be sorted out without any distress to livestock or neighbour's. I also mentioned that I had insurance to the sum of 10 million for her peace of mind and when she asked "how much do I charge" you could hear excitement in her voice when I replied "nothing" ( insurance is void if money is exchanged) " I will let my husband know and I will get back to you " was her reply . Happy day's Moral of the story is do a good job on your permissions and the word of mouth can produce more of the same without having to go around knocking 9 Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thing is mate, the word 'infestation' means different things to different folk! Some people see one or two and they're on the phone saying they're being overrun! Good luck with it mate, and if she is having a major problem and the rabbits are coming in from a neighbouring field or property, it might be worth mentioning that the owner of the land they're coming from has a legal responsibility to manage the rabbits or prevent them causing damage to neighbouring properties. If they're on friendly terms it could lead to even more permission on the land next door.. Quote Link to post
