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, that is exactly why professional night operations deliver superior results.
Many of Australia’s most damaging feral animals are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular. Red foxes are classic night hunters. Feral pigs may forage at any time but are largely nocturnal, especially in hot weather. Wild dogs and deer also increase movement after dark. Daytime efforts often miss the bulk of activity.
Night operations flip the script. Higher detection rates: animals are out and moving. Thermal imaging detects heat signatures through light cover, fog or complete darkness. Improved accuracy and safety: thermal scopes and night vision allow precise targeting, reducing the risk of wounding and showing what is around and behind the target. Minimal disturbance: no bright spotlights, silenced equipment, low-impact control.
We use trail cameras for pre-operation monitoring combined with thermal imaging and precision equipment. Thorough site assessments, customised plans, and detailed reporting after each visit.
