Rabbits can cause vast devastation to fields of crops and forests where they debark young trees, usually killing them off. They are carriers of the miximitosis virus which is transmitted by rabbit fleas which indiscriminately bite carriers and non-carriers of the virus thereby transmitting and spreading the disease. Wild rabbits can transmit this disease to domestic rabbits when visiting garden areas and foraging for food, etc. There are provisions for dealing with rabbits under the Pest Act. Rabbit control is best achieved between November to February – if you are being overrun by rabbits, speak to an expert technician today about how we can help.
