Rural Pest Control in Swindon for Farms, Estates & Landowners
Who We Work With
We provide rural pest control in Swindon and across Wiltshire for the people responsible for land, livestock and rural buildings – farmers, landowners, estates, gamekeepers and rural businesses.
If you’re dealing with vermin or nuisance wildlife around yards, barns, feed stores, roof spaces, paddocks or field edges, We’ll reduce pressure where it’s costing you most and help keep it down with a practical plan that fits how your site runs.
What We specialise in
Most call-outs are for pigeons/woodpigeons, corvids (crows, rooks, jackdaws, magpies) and rats around buildings, yards and feed areas – where fouling, contamination risk and damage hit hardest. We also deal with rabbits, grey squirrels, foxes and moles.
Our approach focuses on targeted control using air rifles, shotguns and humane traps on working land, where safe and lawful. The reason we work in this ways is because it delivers precise pressure reduction with less reliance on poison, helping lower risk to non-target species and supporting a more environmentally responsible way to manage wildlife.
Every job is planned around your site and routines, then carried out safely, lawfully and discreetly. For the full breakdown of services and what you can book, see Pest Control Services.
Our Goals Are
Our goal is to protect working rural sites and the surrounding countryside by reducing pest pressure where it causes the most cost, risk and disruption. This is long-term pressure reduction, not quick fixes that leave the same problems coming straight back.
For farms, estates, landowners and rural businesses, that means reducing contamination and hygiene risk, cutting fouling and mess, and limiting damage and repeat access around buildings, storage areas and the ground immediately surrounding them.
Where pest pressure affects wildlife and habitat, the aim is to manage it responsibly, so non-target species are protected and the wider environment is respected.
You get a practical plan that fits your land and routines, carried out safely, lawfully and discreetly, backed up with clear reporting and prevention priorities so results hold. If it’s not a job I can take on, I’ll tell you quickly and point you to someone who can.
Our Approach to Wildlife Management
Where it’s safe, lawful and appropriate, we use air rifles and shotguns as part of a targeted approach to rural pest control. In the right conditions, this delivers precise pressure reduction with less reliance on poison, helping lower secondary risk to non-target species and producing fast results in the areas that cause the most issues.
Every job starts with a survey so the plan fits your site and routines. You’ll get a clear scope and fixed quote before work starts, followed by practical control carried out safely and lawfully, then a simple report with photos and prevention priorities to keep pressure down. I’m RSPH Level 2 qualified and fully insured, with written permissions and RAMS provided where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you quote without visiting (remote quote from photos)?
Yes. A site visit is best, but I can often provide a fixed quote for rural pest control from clear photos or a short video of the problem areas.
Please send wide shots and close-ups of entry points, droppings/feathers, damage, feed or storage areas, rafters/roof voids, and any proofing gaps (doors, vents, eaves, roller shutters). Include your postcode, the pest (or best guess), and what outcome you want (reduce pressure, stop contamination, proofing, or ongoing control). If anything needs checking for access or safety, I’ll confirm it on a quick site survey before work starts.
Do you offer ongoing rural pest control contracts (not just one-off visits)?
Yes. If you have seasonal pest pressure (winter rodents, bird fouling, repeated re-entry) or a site that keeps getting re-hit, an ongoing rural pest control plan is usually the most cost-effective option long-term.
Ongoing work is structured prevention: scheduled visits, trend spotting, proofing priorities, and fast response when activity spikes. The aim is simple — keep pressure down and stop repeat issues around buildings, yards and feed/storage zones.
Will this disrupt livestock, staff, or day-to-day operations?
Minimal disruption is the aim. I plan work around feeding/milking times, vehicle movements, staff routes, and any sensitive livestock or public-access areas.
Where there’s public access (rights of way, yard traffic, neighbouring houses), I only work when the set-up is safe and controlled. If conditions aren’t right — weather, visibility, people on site, or no safe backstop — I reschedule. I’d rather delay than cut corners.
Do you provide documentation (reports, photos, permissions/RAMS)?
Yes. After a visit you’ll receive a clear job record with photos: what was found, what was done, and what to fix next to reduce repeat pest pressure.
Where required, I work with written permissions and provide appropriate paperwork (including RAMS). If you need contractor-friendly notes for farm, estate, or business records, I can keep it concise and practical.
How much does rural pest control cost in Swindon and Wiltshire?
Costs depend on the pest species, site layout, access, public rights of way, livestock considerations, and whether you need a one-off visit or an ongoing plan. I price based on the safest, most effective way to reduce pressure and prevent repeat issues.
To get an accurate quote, send your postcode, the pest, where activity is worst, and a few clear photos/video. I’ll confirm what’s needed and provide a clear scope and fixed quote before work starts.
How quickly can you attend a rural pest control job?
It depends on the job type, location, and conditions on site, but I aim to respond quickly and book work as soon as it can be done safely and lawfully.
If it’s urgent, email your postcode, the pest, and what’s happening right now (e.g., heavy fouling, active rats near feed, birds in a roof space). I’ll reply with availability and the next steps.
What do you need from me to get started (and price accurately)?
Postcode and site type, the pest species (or best guess), where activity is worst, and how urgent it is. Then: access notes (gates/locks), livestock present, staff routes, public access/rights of way, and any no-go areas.
Photos help massively — entry points, damage, droppings/feathers, feed stores, rafters/roof voids, and surrounding ground (tracks, runs, burrows). If you’ve tried anything already (bait, traps, deterrents), tell me what, where, and the result.
Do you use poison or bait?
Where it’s safe, lawful and appropriate, I focus on targeted control methods that can reduce reliance on poison. The right approach depends on the pest, location, and risk to livestock, pets, and non-target species.
If poison/bait is not suitable for your site or preferences, I’ll recommend practical alternatives and prevention priorities to reduce repeat pressure. The plan is always based on what’s safest and most effective for your land.
Why use air rifles and shotguns — is it safe and legal?
Where it’s safe, lawful and appropriate, a targeted air rifle/shotgun approach can reduce reliance on poison, lower risk to non-target species, and deliver rapid pressure reduction in specific high-impact areas such as roof spaces, yards, and feed/storage zones.
Safety comes first: backstops, access, livestock, neighbours, rights of way and site routines all matter. If the set-up can’t be made safe, or the approach isn’t appropriate for the species/season/location, I won’t proceed.
Do you cover pigeon, corvid and rat problems on farms and rural buildings?
Yes. Common call-outs include pigeon/woodpigeon fouling in sheds and roof spaces, corvid pressure around yards and feed, and rats around buildings and storage areas.
Work is planned around your site and routines, with a clear scope and fixed quote first, followed by practical control carried out safely and lawfully, then a simple report with photos and prevention priorities to help stop repeat issues.
