Rabbit Control Services

The European rabbit is a serious environmental pest throughout Australia. Rabbits have considerable impacts on native ecosystems. Left uncontrolled rabbit populations lead to environmental devastation. In urban environments uncontrolled rabbit populations create serious amenity issues and damage to infrastructure, community spaces and private property. AWM work in close collaboration with our clients to ensure the most effective control methods are applied.  Our holistic rabbit control services include:  

Rabbit fumigation and warren destruction

Fumigation conducted by experienced and qualified staff, using specialised smoke machines, hand tools and aluminium phosphide. Warren destruction activities are undertaken by hand or utilising an excavator/skid loader. Fumigation activities are conducted using specialised 4WD vehicles, UTV’s or by foot.

Rabbit ground shooting 

Professional shooting programs complement the fumigation program for population control of rabbits. Our shooting operations are conducted by specially trained shooters, using state of the art equipment.  AWM has suitable firearms and the latest​ in​ night vision and thermal imaging equipment. Ground shooting programs are conducted utilising specialised 4WD vehicles, UTV’s or by foot. 

Rabbit baiting

Rabbit baiting programs utilising sodium monofluoroacetate (compound 1080) and pindone can also be undertaken and are particularly effective for rabbit populations in dense vegetation on the edge of pastoral land and within National Parks. Poison baits are applied using a baitlayer towed by 4WD vehicle, UTV or by hand (ground baiting).
