Silence is Golden.
The future of feral pest control has arrived at
Xterminator Feral Solutions.




Introducing the CFMOTO UFORCE U6 EV – our new all-electric UTV built for silent, responsible operations.


Why We Went Electric

At Xterminator, we’ve always prioritised stealth and respect for the land. Our new U6 EV takes that commitment further:

  • True Silence – We can get much closer to pests at night without spooking livestock or native wildlife.
  • Zero Emissions – A cleaner, more considerate approach for your property.
  • Better Results – Smoother, quieter night operations that improve the effectiveness of our thermal imaging and suppressed rifle work.


  • Night operations feel completely different now. The silence is game-changing.

**Night Operations Explained: Why After-Dark Control is the Most Effective**

.....or....why we own the night !

When the sun sets over the rolling hills of the **South , Mid  and Southern Tablelands of NSW, a hidden battle comes to life. 


Feral animals like foxes, feral pigs, wild dogs, and deer become far more active under the cover of darkness. For landholders and farmers, this is exactly why professional **night operations** deliver superior results in feral pest management.


At **Xterminator Feral Solutions**, we specialise in discreet, high-tech **night operations** that target these invasive pests when they're most vulnerable — and when traditional daytime methods fall short.



The Nocturnal Nature of Australia's Worst Feral Pests


Many of Australia's most damaging feral animals are **primarily nocturnal** or **crepuscular** (most active at dusk and dawn). This behavioural pattern has evolved to help them avoid predators, heat, and human activity.



  • - Red foxes** are classic night hunters, roaming vast distances after dark to prey on lambs, poultry, and native wildlife. They're most active from dusk until dawn.


  • Feral pigs** may forage at any time but are largely **nocturnal**, especially in hot weather or disturbed areas. They emerge to root up pastures, damage crops, and wallow in water sources under the cover of night.


  • Wild dogs** and deer also increase movement after dark, making them harder to detect and control during daylight hours.


Daytime efforts often miss the bulk of activity — animals hide in dense cover, sleep through the heat, or simply avoid open areas. Night operations flip the script.



 Why Night Control is More Effective and Humane


Professional night operations using advanced technology outperform daytime methods in several key ways:


1. **Higher Detection Rates** 

   Animals are out and moving, making them easier to locate. Thermal imaging detects heat signatures even through light cover, fog, or complete darkness — spotting animals that would be invisible or hidden during the day.


2. **Improved Accuracy and Safety** 

   Modern thermal scopes and night vision equipment allow precise targeting. This reduces the risk of wounding, ensures quick, humane dispatch, and improves safety by clearly showing what's around and behind the target (no guesswork about livestock or non-target species nearby).


3. **Minimal Disturbance** 

   No bright spotlights are needed — which can spook stock, scatter pests, or alert neighbours. Operations remain discreet, with silenced equipment for low-impact control.


4. **Better Results in Dense or Low-Density Areas** 

   In rugged Southern Tablelands terrain or thick bush on the South Coast, thermal tech reveals animals that hold tight during daylight. Studies and field programs across Australia show thermal-assisted night shooting dramatically increases success rates.


 How Xterminator's Night Operations Work


We use cutting-edge surveillance (including trail cameras for pre-operation monitoring) combined with thermal imaging and precision equipment. Our team conducts thorough site assessments, develops customised plans, and provides detailed reporting after each visit — so you know exactly what was achieved.


Whether it's a targeted fox cull in lambing season, feral pig removal after heavy rain, or ongoing wild dog prevention, our **night operations** are designed to be the **most humane and efficient** method available.


Ready to Take Back Your Property After Dark?


Feral pests don't take holidays — but neither do we. With summer here and activity ramping up, now is the perfect time for a **free risk assessment**.
