Professional Rabbit Control Services
Established in 1979 • Over 140 Years Combined Experience Protecting farmland, estates and commercial land from destructive wild rabbit populations.
Our Approach
Traditional Rabbit Control provides professional rabbit pest control services across the UK, helping farms, estates and landowners manage destructive wild rabbit populations. Rabbits can cause serious damage to crops, grazing land and soil structure through burrowing and overgrazing. Without effective control, populations can grow rapidly and spread across large areas.
We use a combination of proven methods depending on the site Every location presents different challenges. From large burrow systems on farmland to isolated problem rabbits in difficult-to-access areas, our experience allows us to assess each situation and apply the most effective control strategy to achieve long-term results.
Ferreting
Our primary method for controlling rabbits living within burrow systems.
Traditional ferreting remains one of the most effective and reliable ways to manage rabbit populations underground. By flushing rabbits from their burrows, we can efficiently reduce numbers across farmland, embankments and estates.
Trapping
Used where access is limited or targeted removal is required.
Trapping is particularly useful in locations where burrow systems cannot be reached or where specific problem rabbits need to be controlled. This method allows for a more targeted approach in sensitive or restricted environments.
Shooting
Effective for rabbits located in open areas or where other methods are not suitable.
Shooting is used to control rabbits feeding above ground or in areas where ferreting and trapping are not viable. It provides an efficient method of reducing rabbit numbers across larger open spaces.

The Impact of Rabbit Infestations
Crop damage and reduced yields
Rabbits feed on a wide range of crops, often targeting young plants and shoots. This can lead to reduced growth, poor yields and in some cases complete crop loss.
Overgrazing of grassland
Continuous grazing can strip grassland and pasture, reducing its quality and affecting livestock feeding areas. This can have a direct impact on agricultural productivity.
Extensive burrow systems
Rabbit warrens can spread across large areas of land, particularly in fields, banks and embankments. These burrow systems are often complex and difficult to manage without professional control methods.
Ground instability and hazards
Burrowing activity can weaken the ground, creating hazards for livestock, machinery and people. Collapsing burrows can damage equipment and increase the risk of injury.
Long-Term Impact
If left unmanaged, rabbit populations can expand rapidly and spread into neighbouring land, making control significantly more difficult over time.
Effective rabbit control not only reduces current populations but also helps prevent future infestations and ongoing damage.
