Our Approach

At Eco Feral Pest Solutions, our approach is based on targeted, responsible and environmentally considerate feral animal management. Before undertaking an operation,  across rural properties and conservation areas on the NSW North Coast, we carefully evaluate the target species, property conditions, livestock, native wildlife, surrounding environment and identified operational risks. Where appropriate, surveillance, monitoring and mapping help inform our planning. Activities are undertaken with a strong focus on safety, animal welfare, regulatory compliance and minimising unnecessary impacts on the property and the surrounding environment. 

Safety, Animal Welfare & Environmental Responsibility 

Our approach places safety, animal welfare, environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance at the forefront of our work. Learn more about the principles, equipment and planning that guide our operations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

How do your methods differ from traditional pest control?

Our approach focuses on evidence-based feral animal management. We thoroughly evaluate the target species, property conditions, livestock, native wildlife and surrounding environment when planning each operation. Field observations, trail cameras, thermal equipment and mapping may be used to better understand pest activity and help plan an appropriate management response.

How do you ensure native wildlife safety during operations?
Accurate species identification and property-specific risk assessments are integral to all our operations. By establishing baseline surveillance before initiating control, our team can identify the movements and habitats of native fauna, preventing accidental interference and keeping native species safe.

What Australian welfare codes and guidelines do you follow?
We operate in strict accordance with applicable NSW legislation, licensing requirements, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and recognised animal welfare codes of practice for vertebrate pest control. All activities are conducted within relevant operator licences, qualifications and formal regulatory authorities.

How do you minimise disturbance to farm livestock?
We plan control activities in direct consultation with the landholder to align with grazing rotations, paddocks in use and property boundaries. Our modern tracking and quiet surveillance tools reduce stress and disruption for livestock while effectively addressing invasive pests.

What specialised tools and gear do you use in the field?

Depending on the property and target species, we deploy professional-grade field equipment, including cellular and standard trail cameras, aerial drones, thermal imaging systems, humane traps, digital GPS mapping software and secure field communications gear. These technologies deliver precise data while minimising unnecessary disturbance to the property. 

Why is pre-control surveillance and mapping so important?
Detailed surveillance maps animal pathways, feeding grounds and harbour areas. Documenting pest density and movements prior to control ensures our operations are efficient, humane and targeted, which significantly reduces costs, risks and field hours for the landholder.

Do you maintain documentation and reporting for compliance?
Yes, professional record keeping is central to our service. We maintain clear records of field observations, trap locations, surveillance findings and control outcomes, providing landholders and organisations with transparent documentation for auditing and biosecurity records.

What is the best first step to get started with your team?
We invite landholders to contact us for an initial consultation regarding their property, the pest animal signs they have observed and their key objectives. From there, we advise on the most suitable management steps or arrange a comprehensive on-site property assessment.
