Stealth Pest Control FAQs

Question 1

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Stealth Pest Control work is covered by BASC and specialist public liability insurance and is carried out under the relevant UK General Licence rules, with written permissions and RAMS in place before any shooting on your land.

Question 2

Do you offer rifle or night shooting?

Accepted Answer

No. I focus on low-risk farm pest control using air-rifles and 12-gauge shotguns during daylight hours only. This keeps operations safe, discreet and compliant with local requirements.

Question 3

Do you work alongside other pest control contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My firearm-based services are designed to complement existing baiting and trapping programmes and can be integrated with your current pest control contractor’s work on the farm.

Question 4

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

I cover Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett, Chippenham, Marlborough, Calne, Devizes and the surrounding Wiltshire villages. Work in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Oxfordshire is available by arrangement.

Question 5

Do you process carcasses?

Accepted Answer

No meat is sold or supplied. All carcasses are disposed of safely in line with DEFRA Animal By-Product guidelines so you don’t have to deal with waste.
