Places We've Worked – Rabbit Control Across Devon in June
At Heritage Rabbit Management, June was a busy month for tackling rising rabbit populations across Devon. With warmer weather and lush summer growth, we've been called out to multiple rural sites where rabbits are causing serious damage to pasture, crops, and fencing.
Here’s a roundup of some of the places we’ve worked this month:
Devon Locations We’ve Covered in June:
South Molton – As our base of operations, we continue to work regularly on local farms and smallholdings.
Tiverton – Completed night work using thermal and night vision on grazing land suffering extensive rabbit damage.
Chulmleigh – Helped a landowner where rabbits were undermining banks near livestock pens.
Crediton – Applied aluminium phosphide treatments to long-established burrow systems in a field margin.
Witheridge – Deployed multiple control techniques on a property with mixed grazing and woodland edges.
Bishops Nympton – A multi-night shooting project to protect a large garden and orchard.
Barnstaple (fringes) – Cleared heavy infestations from pasture fields following a break in fencing.
Dulverton (edge of Exmoor) – Worked in sensitive terrain with a tailored control plan.
Why Devon’s Rabbit Problem Is Growing
Many of the landowners we helped in June reported a noticeable increase in rabbit activity, even in areas where previous control had taken place. With myxomatosis losing effectiveness and breeding in full swing, numbers can quickly spiral out of control.
