Hi, Andrea here. Any kind/generous farmers out there in the UK that would be kind enough to consider allowing my father and I access to any land you may have, where you are having problems with pests? Such as rabbits, foxes, magpies, crows, rats (usual vermin) etc.
My dad has been shooting/pest controlling for over 30 years . Since losing his leg, 6 years ago, he has not been able to get out to the properties that he used to shoot as although he can still walk short distances, he is unable to climb fences/gates etc He uses his electric scooter to get around which is great for places with cattle etc as its very quiet! Luckily for him, I have taken up the sport and I'm able to help carry all his gear!!
Dad does hold a firearms licence for a high powered air rifle, but if foxes are a problem, he can always apply for a centrefire rifle to do the job If needed, Dad can get references from farmers where he has been a pest controller previously. He has public liability insurance through BASC for £10million .
Dad and I are both very mindful of any livestock, and take all precautions to make sure the safety of the animals come first. He has shot around horse paddocks where they've had problems with rats and rabbits, and has always been praised by the owners for his consistency for turning up to do his job when asked.
If you would like to meet us, we could always arrange a day to meet you. We live in Birmingham, in the West Midlands, but we are willing to travel. Please consider giving us a chance, as I'd love nothing more than dad to be back out shooting, rather than being stuck indoors
P.s. I am a professional cleaner, so if you have any cleaning that needs doing (even mucking out around the farm), I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and it would be a pleasure to be able to return the favour
