Harry from Craftworks College is doing his work experience
Harry is a student from Craftworks College who is doing his pest control work experience with me. He is passionate about pest control and has been thoroughly enjoying his learning. He participated in the fallow deer management I’m doing in Crowhurst, East Sussex. Harry learned that Deer belong to the family called Ungulates and that their footprints are called ‘slots.’ He was fascinated by the fallow buck rutting stand, which is the photo of the circle of mud. The male rubs and scrapes at the ground at this time of year during mating season. When the day was done we had a little quiz about what he had learned including the life cycle of cluster flies and controlling the number of Canada geese. We then stopped for some well deserved grub – a burger, Harry was pleased as you can see!

What if all the wasps disappeared?
Wasps… they’re pretty annoying. But what would happen if all the wasps in the world just disappeared? Well, before you start celebrating, let’s have a little look at some of the lesser-known wonders of wasps. If there are no wasps, it’s not just the insect that would be lost, but a complex society with some surprising similarities to our own. All wasps have a role to fulfil – be it as a queen, or the wasp equivalent of a caretaker, a guard, or even a nanny.
Longnets.
Its impossible to do serious rabbit control without the use of longnets. Longnets of different size lengths. The meshes will be 2 1/8 inch & hang on the Diamond. The photos are of my 2 walled trammel longnet. A useful bit of kit for serious rabbit control.
DBS Check.
Many clients within certain sectors today will require a DBS (Disclosure & Barring ) service check.
I carry a clean & up to date DBS certificate for clients that require it.
Rabbit Drop Boxes.
In the next few weeks i will be installing the rabbit drop boxes over various estates. These boxes – when used properly – will have problem rabbits under control very swiftly & cleanly. Used in conjunction with rabbit proof fencing they are dug in & left for a few weeks until rabbits get used to running through them. Then when i can see that rabbits are passing through at night with confidence… i activate them, switching the trip plate to ” Live ” . By doing this 1 night a month i can clear big rabbit infestations with ease. Ive included some photos of rabbit drop boxes i installed along side a motorway. The rabbits were coming in off the motorway banks & decimating my clients property. But ive eradicated them all now. Boxes remain there ready to employ again if rabbit numbers should become a problem again.
Call me & see how i can solve your rabbit problems swiftly & humanely.

Partridge English Game Meat For Sale
Partridges are medium-sized non-migratory game birds. A partridge is intermediate between the larger pheasants and the smaller quail bird. They are sometimes grouped in the Perdicinae subfamily of the Phasianidae.
Partridges can be found nesting on the ground on agricultural land.
The grey and the red-legged partridge are popular game birds. They are mentioned in the first verse of the Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.
When cooked partridges have a moist texture and mild flavour. These make a good introduction to English Game Meat for those people trying it for the first time.
