They also use our fence as something to kick their ball against, despite many requests not to, the fence is now cracking in the areas by their lawn (areas where they have trees and bushes, and a patio do not show the same cracks) Last year they were caught by my partner lifting the fence panels up so they could crawl under for their balls! We do have a side passage, with a gate that isn't locked, so the could have simply walked around to get it (though that would still be trespass as we aren't there to ask permission of). I mention his age as his size means that the man has to lean on our fence and apply considerable force on it to put him over and lift him back (not to mention being on benefits and off work for a bad back, but thats another rant for another day). Today the camera recorded the next door neighbour putting his 8-10 year old son over the fence to retreive a ball they kicked over. It records when movment is picked up in certain areas of the feild of view, so doesn't record in neighboring gardens unless movement is picked up in ours, though we can view a live feed if we log in. Because of this, we purchased and set up a webcam to watch over the garden whilst at work. Recently we have had reason to beleive someone has been our garden- my rabbits hutches have been opened-thankfully the rabbits are fine, but they could have easily escaped (also not blaming these neighbours for opening the hutches, we have no proof they have done this, and we do get other children in the garden after lost balls). We live on a predominatly council estate, our neighbours are council tenents, we own the house (well, the bank does-previous owner bought it from the council).

Rabbits are a natural part of the countryside, playing an important ecological role in the food chain of the natural habitat that surrounds us but, with their numbers out of control, the balance of the countryside is lost.

Poison is a possibility too, but again, using a professional and qualified pest control technician is essential to protect non-target animals. It is the law to keep your land as rabbit-free as possible – and as a local pest control company, we know the damage that rabbits can cause, in next to no time.Although an investment, it is far more cost effective that continually spending money on repairs and other bills to make good damage caused by rabbits.

In some cases, it is also possible to rabbit proof an area – rabbit proof fencing can stop rabbits from gaining access to some portions of land.After assessing the situation, the numbers of rabbits on the land will need to be reduce – this can be done through a variety of means from trapping, gassing, netting and shooting.Rabbits need constant attention and methods in order to keep their numbers under control Their tunnelling can also make the ground unsafe, with the entrance to their warrens also causing problems for livestock that can get their feet or hooves trapped in the opening, causing them injury. Although they have many predators in the wild, from birds of prey to foxes, their ability to reproduce quickly means their population is rarely ‘dented’ in terms of numbers. Their constant nibbling and gnawing at crops, trees, shrubs and fencing, as well as stored food on farms etc., can make the rabbit a real nuisance. Producing between 6 and 9 rabbits per litter, you can see why their numbers can become an issue.

With a gestation period between 28 and 31 days, the female rabbit can be pregnant again within a few days. Rabbits, like many other pests, are prolific breeders. The delight of seeing young rabbits, frolicking in the morning sunshine across the fields is a wonderful site… until you realise, that the rabbit population is out of control and causing expensive, extensive damage to the countryside or your garden.
