Crow Control on a Farm

Crow Control on a Farm

Background

A UK farm struggled with a serious crow problem. The birds damaged bales and crops and caused distress to livestock. Non-lethal methods, such as scarecrows and sound scarers, failed to provide lasting relief. Facing ongoing losses, the farmer sought a permanent solution from Bawcro Pest Control.

The Challenge

Crows are highly intelligent and adaptable, making them difficult to control. They pecked through silage bales, destroyed crops, and disrupted young livestock. The farmer’s attempts with deterrents were ineffective, and the infestation worsened. A targeted solution was urgently needed to protect the farm’s productivity.

Crow Control – The Solution

When the farmer requested a humane culling, Bawcro Pest Control devised an effective plan:

1. Experienced Approach
   Our team, skilled in crow management, used decoys to attract birds to designated areas for a controlled cull.
2. Equipment and Expertise
   Bawcro provided all necessary equipment, including firearms, and followed strict safety and ethical guidelines. This ensured minimal disruption to farm operations.
3. Long-Term Strategy
   Beyond the culling, we advised the farmer on maintaining reduced crow numbers. This included reinforcing deterrents and monitoring crow activity to prevent recurrence.

The Results

The operation spanned several visits, during which Bawcro successfully reduced the crow population. Damage to bales, crops, and livestock significantly decreased. With fewer crows, the farm regained control over its resources and operations.

Client Feedback

The farmer expressed satisfaction with the results. After months of struggling, they finally saw the crow population decline and their farm return to normal. They appreciated Bawcro’s professional and humane approach, as well as the lasting impact of the solution.

“Even the cows seem happier now!”
