🔍 What Are Rat Shoots?

Rat shoots are a form of targeted rodent removal using air rifles or low-powered firearms. They are typically carried out in barns, grain stores, and farmyards, especially at night when rats are most active. Using night vision or thermal imaging, our trained technicians identify and humanely eliminate rats with precision.

According to the Health and Safety Executive, integrated pest control methods like these are especially important in high-risk environments such as food storage areas and agricultural buildings. It also helps protect other species of animals in cases where rodenticides might not. Check out this article to learn more about potential dangers of poisons.
