What Happens When Rabbits Cause Problems

One or two rabbits may seem harmless, but when populations explode, they can quickly become a major problem. Their constant grazing damages crops and landscaping, while their burrowing undermines soil and weakens the ground around paths, walls and outbuildings. In severe cases, it can even affect property foundations. Once an infestation is established, it’s extremely difficult to control without professional help. Under the Pests Act 1954 landowners in England (except City of London and Scilly Isles) are legally obliged to control rabbits or prevent them from damaging neighbouring land. But any control must be done within the law too. That’s why Xpress Pest Control is here to deliver specialist rabbit pest control when you need it most.

Professional Rabbit Pest Control Services Across the UK

We offer nationwide rabbit pest control carried out by trained and experienced technicians. Every site is different, so we start with a survey to understand the scale of the infestation and the conditions on your land. Our team then applies the most suitable and humane methods, in line with UK animal welfare laws and pest control regulations. Whether the problem is in a domestic garden, commercial premises or agricultural land, our qualified pest controllers can help. We operate 24/7 across the country, with no call-out fees and we don’t ask for any money until after the treatment visit.

Long-Term Rabbit Prevention and Support

Properly done rabbit pest control does not stop once the infestation is removed. Our controllers can advise on preventative steps to reduce the chances of the problem from returning. We’ll discuss practical measures such as installing rabbit-proof fencing, reducing food sources and managing habitats around your property. Combining treatment with prevention, we’ll help secure the long-term protection of your plants, crops and land. With Xpress Pest Control, you can be confident your rabbit problem will be dealt with quickly, legally and effectively, wherever you are in the UK. Call us today.

FAQs

What should I do if rabbits are digging burrows in my garden?
Avoid filling in or blocking burrow entrances while rabbits may still be inside.

First, establish whether the burrows are active. Freshly disturbed soil, droppings and signs of regular movement can indicate ongoing activity. Where burrowing is extensive or close to structures, professional rabbit control can help assess the problem before any repairs are attempted.
What methods do you use to control rabbits?
There are a range of methods for controlling rabbits which includes trapping and fencing. The exact method depends on your site and level of infestation, but the controller will discuss these with you at the time. We will also advise on further prevention methods, such as exclusion fencing and habitat management.
Are there legal requirements for rabbit control?
Rabbit control must comply with relevant wildlife, pest control and animal welfare legislation.

Under the Pests Act 1954, land occupiers in England and Wales generally have a responsibility to control wild rabbits or prevent them from causing damage to neighbouring land.

Certain control methods are restricted or prohibited, and any work must avoid unnecessary suffering. Using a professional pest controller can help ensure the methods used are appropriate and legally compliant.
What should I do if rabbits return after treatment?
If you notice fresh burrows, droppings or grazing damage after treatment, contact your pest controller for advice. Rabbits from neighbouring land may move into an area where a previous population has been controlled.

Further assessment can help establish whether new activity is occurring and whether additional control or rabbit-proofing measures are needed.
Can Xpress help with rabbits on larger properties?
Xpress Pest Control provides rabbit control for residential gardens, commercial premises and agricultural land. Larger sites may have several areas of rabbit activity, including burrows near boundaries, grazing damage and established feeding routes.

Our pest controllers can assess the affected areas and recommend suitable control and prevention measures based on the layout of your land.
