Who I Am

I’m a professional pest controller serving Wiltshire estates, farms and agricultural businesses. As a British Army veteran, I bring military firearms discipline to wildlife management across the county. I hold RSPH Level 2 in Pest Management, specialist public liability insurance for shooting operations, and I’m a BASC member with a shotgun certificate.

This combination — military firearms discipline, formal pest management training and specialist insurance — means every job is planned, risk-assessed, documented and carried out to a professional standard. It’s not just about being competent with a gun. It’s about treating your land, your livestock and your operations with the respect and care they deserve.

Professional Qualifications You Can Trust

I also maintain ongoing CPD on wildlife law, General Licence changes, humane dispatch methods and pest management best practice. Legislation changes regularly — staying current is non-negotiable.

Why Military Training Matters for Pest Control

Professional wildlife management isn’t just about turning up with a gun. It’s about understanding risk, reading a site, planning around constraints, and executing safely in complex environments — livestock present, public access, neighbouring properties, weather conditions, backstops, sight lines.

Military firearms training gives you discipline and safety standards that don’t slip when conditions get difficult. RSPH Level 2 gives you the legal and biological knowledge to do the job right. Specialist insurance means you’re protected if something goes wrong.

Together, they mean you’re dealing with a professional operator, not someone who just owns a rifle and a van.

How I Work

Safety first. No shortcuts, no exceptions. Every job starts with a site survey so risks are identified and controlled before any work begins. If a site can’t be made safe — no clear backstops, livestock in the line of fire, public access that can’t be controlled — I won’t proceed. I’d rather walk away than cut corners.

Legal and ethical. Work is carried out within General Licences, written permissions and relevant legislation. If a requested approach isn’t appropriate or lawful for the situation, I’ll tell you straight and recommend the right alternative.

Professional and accountable. You get clear communication, agreed next steps, and documentation to match a professional service — written permissions, RAMS where required, and a post-job summary with photos showing what was found, what was done, and what to fix next.

Respect for working land. I plan around livestock, neighbours and day-to-day operations wherever possible, keeping disruption to a minimum while focusing on the areas that actually drive pest pressure — roof spaces, feed stores, yards, lambing sheds.

Prevention, not repeat call-outs. Control work is paired with practical prevention advice — entry points to proof, hygiene improvements, storage changes — so the results hold and you’re not paying to fix the same issue again in six months.

What Makes This Service Different

Most contractors turn up in a van with bait boxes and a clipboard. That has its place, but on estates and farms it often isn’t the right tool. A targeted shooting and trapping approach — properly planned and documented — gives you faster results, lower risk to non-target species, and a more environmentally responsible way to manage nuisance wildlife.

This isn’t anti-poison on principle. It’s about using the right method for your site, your species and your risk profile. Where bait or rodenticide genuinely is the safest and most effective option, I’ll use it lawfully and explain why. Where it isn’t — roof voids with owls nesting nearby, lambing sheds with working dogs on site, corvids hitting feed in open yards — I’ll recommend the approach that reduces pressure without creating new risks.

You’re not just paying for pest control. You’re paying for military-standard risk assessment, professional pest management qualifications, and the insurance and permissions to back it all up.
