Phill-W68 547 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Good news, before Xmas I sent a few permission letters out for pest control with self addressed stamped envelopes for response, I had 2 returns unfortunately both NO,s, so a couple of weeks ago I sent to 4 golf courses and 5 poultry farms, until yesterday I,d had one return with another NO, BUT 9oclock last night I get a call regarding a letter he,d received about pest control saying he,d purchased a new house along with 24acres of land and its riddled with rabbits and could I go and take a look, almost choking with excitement I said yes of course no problem, so he,s sent me over the address details so within the next couple of days I'm going up to take a look..... Fingers crossed its as riddled as he says...... Well even one rabbit will be good ☺..... 5 Quote Link to post
ArchieHood 3,692 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Good luck mate but be warned, a farmers interpretation is differant to ours.......riddled = a few............. 2 2 Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nice. Well done mate As Archie said, they interpret things differently sometimes - I was once called to a livery yard that was 'swarming' with rats. I saw feck all over 4 visits Still, 24 acres is a nice size - there should be something there. Good luck 2 Quote Link to post

The one 8,393 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Always handy to have something outside the box and away from the rest . a nice sized piece of ground that you can cover in a few hours no a all day job , and with a bit of distance from any other permission so if the dreaded myxi strikes you always have a place to go . Then the next step is your covering more miles than a sales man to get to all your permission Quote Link to post

Phill-W68 547 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Phoned the guy this lunchtime, I'm meeting him today at 4.00pm, I've printed off a small satellite map so he can highlight the boundaries as we go round and a consent slip for him to sign that proves I have access if anyone questions me... 1 Quote Link to post

Even if it is riddled with them you can soon wipe them out and leave your self with nothing to shoot so all way leave a few so it can pick up again. Do a good job and word of mouth go,s a long way and farmers talk when out on the p*ss or at farmers fairs . i bet you end up with more when you go to meet him Dont go with your rifle or dressed in camo gear hope itgo,s ok for you atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post

Phill-W68 547 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Well, the new permission is looking good, he took me round on his quad/pickup type machine,he didnt get there till 4.30 so light was fading, he,s put new fencing all round the perimeter a couple of feet off the old perimeter fence and between planted all new saplings and the rabbits are having a field day on the roots, a small wooded area in a dip not very wide but a few hundred yds long it's a steep bank, rabbit hole's and new scrapings everywhere, hoping to get my first trip out Tuesday get there just before light I think....... 3 Quote Link to post

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Once you are settled in you can gently remind him that other vermin are about and do just as much damage in their own way. All the very best 1 Quote Link to post
