Rabbit & Hare Control

Specialists in Rabbit & Hare Control within Aotearoa, New Zealand

European rabbits were amongst the earliest of mammalian pests to be introduced to New Zealand. They are significant agricultural and ecological pests.

After their introduction, European rabbits soon became widely distributed throughout the drier regions of both main islands and on many offshore islands. As herbivores, they are very significant agricultural and ecological pests. 

Rabbits thrive in dryland and semi-arid environments, especially in New Zealand’s South Island. 

They can populate these environments in truly destructive numbers if uncontrolled. Reduction of populations is on-going and essential for the economic and environmental welfare of New Zealand.
