Integrated Rabbit Management: Protecting Your Property from Invasive Species

Rabbits are one of the most destructive pests in Australia. Originally introduced for sport hunting, they’ve since become a major problem for farmers and landowners across Victoria. From chewing through crops and vegetation to damaging soil structure, rabbits have the potential to wreak havoc on your property. But how can you tackle an issue this big without causing further damage to your land?

At Victorian Varmint Control, we believe in a comprehensive, integrated approach to rabbit management. It’s not just about setting traps or laying bait—it’s about addressing the root causes of the infestation and implementing long-term solutions that minimize future damage.

Our integrated rabbit management program combines multiple techniques tailored to your specific property. First, we conduct a thorough assessment of the land to identify the extent of the infestation. We then implement a combination of fencing, trapping, and baiting to reduce the rabbit population and prevent their return. These methods are designed not only to be effective but also to be environmentally responsible, ensuring that we minimize any negative impact on surrounding wildlife and ecosystems.

One of the key benefits of our approach is that it isn’t a one-time fix. Rabbits are prolific breeders, so continuous management is required to keep populations under control. We work with our clients to create a long-term plan that includes regular monitoring and maintenance, ensuring that the problem doesn’t resurface down the line.

With over four generations of experience in hunting and pest control, we know what works and what doesn’t. Our rabbit management strategies have been fine-tuned over years of hands-on experience, ensuring that your property remains safe from the destructive effects of these pests.
