Title: Ferreting permission wanted please... Within a couple of hours of Monmouth.
Post by: Mustelid on September 11, 2016, 07:18:06 am
Dear forum members,

I've recently cleared a local small holding of rabbits that were doing considerable damage to the owners fledgling vegetable plots. If any forum members have a rabbit problem and would like someone to use traditional methods of control, please drop me a message. I tend to use ferrets and nets in the winter months, though I can also undertake rabbit control throughout the year. I'm also happy to take care of rat problems.

I'm based on the Monmouthshire/Herefordshire border and I would consider travelling if there are sufficient rabbits.

References can be supplied and I'm a school teacher by trade, so very respectable...!

Kind regards,
Gavin.

I have some contacts around ross on wye,newent,gorsley areas will try to find their details and let you know mate. :thumbsup:

Not good ferreting this time of year mate as they will be in young or have young underground and you will be spoiling your winter sport and you may end up having to dig down to get your stinker back.

Spent years ferreting and some places I had to dig 8 - 10 ft to get the ferret out.

That would be fantastic, thank you. Yes, I've finished ferreting until September now except for a few large gardens that I take care of on a pest control basis. If anyone does have a rabbit problem though I'm happy to use other methods of control throughout the summer.

Thanks again,
Gavin.

Gavin,

I have a rabbit problem that needs addressing. Between my neighbour and I 10 acres to clear. No shortage of Rabbits. Mixed garden / agricultural. Between Abergavenny and Pontypool.

If you contact me directly we could discuss.
