ferreting contract?

[fieldsportsman 107]

was wondering, does anyone get paid for ferreting, or get hired by a pest control company to clear rabbits with ferrets, if you do, how do you go about doing it, cheers

[fieldsportsman 107]

take it no one does or has any ideas

Most pest controllers are too busy doing bed bugs wasps and mice, to be able to get out ferreting,, that and the fact that 99% of folk want to do it for nowt !

 

I get paid the odd bit fuel money, but thats it,, you will never make a living ferreting,, or Simon Whithead wouldn`t be draggin his ass around the fair circuit to earn a crust

Closest i've come to it is getting bunged a few notes for agreeing to ferret some big grounds (gardens) for a pest controller mate, who had gassed it a few times, and then did not want to spend money on more gas to clear the odd one or two coming back in. He just charged the client an extra 40/50 quid, and bunged me it for fuel, and gave the client my number. Most folk realize good land is like gold dust.

If your no making coin at the top end by charging you have to make it selling your catch .There's money to be made you just got to figure out where and when

years ago this farmer from south wales used to fill his landrover up and send us up to his dads farm in worcsester as many times as we liked this was 25 years ago mind ! but boy did he have a rabbit problem the dogs ferrets and us would come back knackered , the soil was sandy as f**k and the old chap was always worried that his tractor would topple over some of the caved in entrances wish i had kept that permission going !!!!!! but the city lights were calling !

there a good few pesters up and down the country that ferret for money,, i myself have a pest control company and get paid to do some rabbit contol,,,, dont get me wrong most of the threads i put on here are from permision and sport... but i do do paid work when it comes in.

 

alot of it , for me is big country houses,, that have small problems, perhaps half a dozen rabbits causing a problem... but i also have contract work on golf courses, and one or 2 other sites, like an old landfill.

 

for me paid farm work is the worst,, cos farmeres are very tight, and they want to see total wipe out,,, if they see a few bunnys afterwards they think you aint done it properly.

He gets paid, I get free ferret food
