The Rabbit is one of our most familiar mammals and is widespread throughout the
UK. They were introduced into Britain during the twelfth century and by the nineteenth
century their numbers had increased dramatically - probably as a result of agricultural
changes such as the introduction of crop rotation and the sowing of winter fodder crops.
Rabbits breed rapidly, with young females capable of breeding at 3-4 months of age, and
producing up to 5 litters of 6-8 babies per time. Population explosions are inevitable if
they are not controlled.
Rabbits will eat almost any vegetation taking young shoots close to cover and nibbling
them down to approximately 10mm above the ground. They cause millions of pounds worth of
damage to agricultural and horticultural land. They may also cause damage to managed woodlands,
amenity, recreational and leisure facilities creating public health risks, and also undermine
embankments, buildings and other structures.
An Agouti technician will employ various methods of control, all of which are legal and
humane, ranging from traditional methods such as ferreting, trapping, long netting and shooting
to more modern methods such as authorised fumigating with Aluminium Phosphide.
