Aerial Culling
Our aerial pig culling programs are designed to efficiently manage feral animal populations in vast, hard-to-reach areas. Using state-of-the-art helicopters and trained professionals, we target areas where the animal populations are causing significant damage to the environment, crops, and infrastructure. This method allows for quick, effective population control in large expanses of land, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding wildlife and environment.
Ground-based Pig Culling
In addition to aerial culling, AHVC also employs ground-based culling methods, which are ideal for areas with dense vegetation or where aerial access is limited. Our trained wildlife control experts use a variety of specialised equipment, including traps and firearms, to reduce pig populations and minimise their impact on local ecosystems. These operations are carried out with the utmost care, ensuring safety for both the operators and the surrounding environment.
Deer Culling
Alongside aerial culling, AHVC also utilises ground-based culling techniques, which are particularly effective in areas with dense vegetation or limited aerial access. Samba, Fellow and Red Deer populations, when left unmanaged, can have a severe impact on agricultural crops, native vegetation, and local biodiversity. AHVC conducts both aerial and ground-based deer culling operations to control their numbers and mitigate the negative effects of overpopulation. Our experienced team works closely with landowners and conservationists to develop strategic, humane, and effective culling plans that address the specific needs of each location.
Kangaroo Culling
In addition to aerial culling, AHVC uses ground-based culling methods, which are perfect for areas with thick vegetation or limited aerial access. Kangaroo over population in certain regions can result in significant strain on local ecosystems, as well as pose risks to agriculture and public safety. AHVC’s kangaroo culling operations are conducted in accordance with Australian wildlife regulations, with a focus on ensuring humane methods and minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. We tailor our approach to the unique challenges presented by each area, always adhering to the highest standards of safety and ethical conduct.

At Australian Hunting and Vermin Control (AHVC), we utilise a range of traps to manage wildlife effectively, always ensuring that they meet the highest legal and ethical standards. Our methods are carefully tailored to the specific situation and target species, ensuring humane practices that prioritise the well-being of the animals and the safety of the community.
The traps we employ include:
- Cage Traps: Ideal for species such as rabbits, foxes, feral cats, possums, dogs, and birds. These traps are also available for hire, offering a cost-effective option for managing rabbits, feral cats, foxes, and possums.
- Foot-Hold Traps: Including Victor Soft Catch traps, Lanes traps, and snare traps, which are particularly effective for managing wild dogs and dingoes.
- Drop Traps: These are our primary choice for many operations due to their efficiency and reliability in capturing target species.
Every trapping operation begins with a thorough assessment of the environment and animal behaviour to ensure the traps are placed strategically for optimal results. We take every precaution to minimise stress and disruption to the surrounding area, and any captured animals are handled responsibly in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
Whether through cage traps, foot-hold traps, or drop traps, our focus remains on providing effective, ethical, and efficient wildlife management solutions tailored to each client's needs.

AHVC will not be engaging in animal pest poisoning programs due to ethical, environmental, and safety concerns. The decision stems from the growing recognition of the negative impacts that poisoning programs can have on non-target species, ecosystems, and public health.
Instead of relying on poisons, AHVC might focus on alternative pest management strategies, such as:
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A holistic approach that uses a combination of biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical controls to manage pest populations in an environmentally responsible way. This reduces the need for harmful chemicals while maintaining effective pest control.
- Humane Trapping and Relocation: For some species, traps can be set up to catch animals humanely, allowing for relocation to areas where they are less likely to cause harm to crops, property, or other animals.
- Habitat Modification: By altering the environment (e.g., sealing potential entry points to buildings, removing food sources, or changing vegetation) pests may be naturally deterred, reducing the need for active intervention.
- Predator-Prey Balance: Promoting natural predator species that help control the population of pests in a safe and natural way, encouraging biodiversity while keeping the pest population in check.
- Public Education and Awareness: Educating communities about sustainable practices for pest management can help prevent the overuse of chemical treatments, leading to more natural and effective long-term solutions.
By steering away from poisoning programs, AHVC is aligning with broader efforts to protect animal welfare, minimise environmental impact, and ensure sustainable pest management solutions.

We are dedicated to delivering comprehensive wildlife monitoring and assessment programs as a cornerstone of our wildlife management services. These programs play a crucial role in understanding the presence, population dynamics, distribution, and behaviour of wildlife within a specific area. By conducting in-depth evaluations, we can create highly tailored management strategies that address the unique challenges of each environment while ensuring the humane and ethical treatment of wildlife.
Our monitoring and assessment activities involve a variety of advanced methods to collect accurate and reliable data. These methods may include:
- Field Surveys: Our team conducts on-ground observations to document wildlife activity, habitats, and movement patterns. These surveys provide valuable insights into the ecological context of the area, helping us identify potential risks or challenges.
- Remote Cameras: We use strategically placed motion-activated cameras to capture images and videos of wildlife activity, especially in areas where direct observation is difficult. This non-invasive method helps us monitor nocturnal and elusive species without causing disruption.
- Tracking Systems: GPS tracking collars, radio telemetry, and other tracking technologies enable us to monitor the movements and behaviours of specific species over time. This data is particularly useful for understanding migration patterns, territorial boundaries, and habitat usage.
By gathering detailed and accurate information, we can assess the effectiveness of our wildlife management strategies and make data-driven adjustments to achieve sustainable, long-term outcomes. Our commitment to ongoing monitoring ensures that our methods remain proactive and adaptable, addressing emerging challenges and minimising the impact of wildlife on property, agriculture, and infrastructure.
AHVC’s focus on wildlife monitoring not only supports effective management but also fosters a balance between ecological conservation and human activity. We recognise the importance of preserving biodiversity while preventing the damage that wildlife can cause to crops, livestock, and residential or commercial properties. Through these programs, we strive to create harmony between communities and their natural surroundings, delivering ethical and effective solutions tailored to the needs of each environment.
