Land and property managers across North West England

Most of the people who contact us have already tried something else. Our job is to look at the site properly and tell you whether we can add anything useful.

Farms and growers

Arable and mixed farms with recurring woodpigeon pressure on emerging and vulnerable crops. We work to the farming calendar rather than a fixed schedule, respond to the fields that are actually being hit, and keep well clear of stock, machinery and field operations. Gates are left as we find them and all cartridges and waste are removed.

Rural estates

Private and managed estates require more than effective control. Attendance must be discreet, access must be carefully managed and the people entering the land must be dependable. We work around estate activity, agreed access routes and nominated contacts, without publicising where we work or who we work for.

Golf clubs

A golf course is a working, publicly accessible site, and it is treated as one. Any grey squirrel control on a course is subject to a site-specific risk assessment, appropriate exclusion arrangements and attendance at agreed safe times. Shooting-based control is not automatically suitable at every course.

Work planned around members, visitors and course operations
Early-morning or other agreed attendance times when appropriate
Protection of specimen trees, buildings and managed grounds
Advance communication with the nominated course representative
Agreed arrangements to keep holes or areas clear while we are on site
Club identity, operational arrangements and work undertaken are treated discreetly and are not publicised without permission

Woodland managers

Plantations, restocked compartments and amenity woodland where grey squirrel damage is affecting young trees. We assess each block on its own terms, including public access, neighbouring property and other woodland users, before proposing anything.

Commercial and institutional land

Business parks, grounds, parkland and institutional estates with woodpigeon or grey squirrel problems affecting trees, buildings or managed grounds. These sites usually have staff, visitors and neighbouring occupiers to consider, so the assessment covers access control and timing as closely as it covers the species itself. Where a site cannot be worked safely, we will say so rather than proceed.

Tell us where the problem is

Send us a few details about your land, the species involved and the damage you are seeing. We will contact you to discuss whether we can help.
