FAQ
Straight answers for landholders
Licences, insurance, night work, poisons, farms — and the code of conduct every operator follows.
What types of pests or feral animals do you manage?
We specialise in controlling feral pigs, foxes, wild dogs, rabbits, deer, feral cats, goats, rodents and other invasive species that damage property, livestock or the environment. Licensed kangaroo culling is available under the proper permits.
Apart from rabbit, fox and feral cat control, can you manage our rats and mice?
Yes. We can manage rats and mice with our air rifles — but don’t wait until you have thousands of them running around.
What areas do you service?
We operate across the Southern Tablelands and South Coast of NSW, including Braidwood, Bungendore, Yass, Bowral, Reidsdale and surrounding rural properties, farms and government land.
Are your methods humane and environmentally safe?
Yes. We use targeted control methods with advanced equipment, ensuring quick and humane outcomes. We do not use poisons, reducing the risk to pets and native wildlife.
Can you work on farms?
Absolutely. We partner with NSW Farmers and are experienced in agricultural pest management.
Do you work at night?
Yes. We are night control specialists using thermal scopes, infrared vision, suppressed firearms and a CFMOTO electric ATV to discreetly and precisely remove pests without disruption. We don’t use spotlights or poisons. Whether your property is 10 or 10,000 acres, we tailor the approach. We always leave gates as we found them. Silence is Golden.
Will your service disturb my livestock or family?
No. Night work runs from our CFMOTO electric ATV — no engine roar, no spotlights, no loud shots. Minimal disruption to you, your animals or neighbours.
Do you have the proper licences and insurance?
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we operate under strict safety and ethical guidelines.
Do you carry real Public Liability Insurance — over and above club-type cover?
We carry $20 million in Public Liability Insurance and have never had a claim. Our Certificate of Currency is available for inspection.
Can you deal with European wasps?
European wasp nests are handled by our sister company, Wasp Man Australia. Visit waspman.com.au or call 1300 492 777 (1300 4 WASPS).
What is an Impact Statement?
It's a summary we can provide with any job. Using breeding data from NSW DPI and CSIRO, it estimates how many feral animals will be prevented from being born over 18 months because of the work on your property.

Code of conduct — Priority 1
All Xterminator Feral Solutions operators abide by the following code. This is not a hobby.
- 01
Safety
Safety is not just a buzzword. SAFETY is paramount at Xterminator Feral Solutions. It is our constant focus, not just for our clients, but for our shooters.
- 02
Identity
All Xterminator Feral Solutions operators carry identification badges. Know who is on your property.
- 03
Customer confidentiality
All operators conduct work for clients on a confidential basis. Whilst all work will be compliant with relevant legislation, some sectors of the wider community may not support these activities, hence the need for confidentiality.
- 04
Customer service
Operators serve clients with integrity, competence and objectivity and treat them with respect and courtesy. We treat your property and stock with respect and leave your gates as we find them. Honest.
- 05
Awareness of relevant legislation
It is the responsibility of Xterminator operators to be aware of and comply with all relevant legislation relating to hunting, animal welfare and the use of firearms.
- 06
Safe handling of firearms
Where firearms are used, the rules for safe handling set out in the NSW Firearms Safety Awareness handbook, published by or under the authority of the Commissioner of Police, are always complied with.
- 07
Target identification and safety
A target animal will not be fired on unless it can be clearly seen and identified with a safe back stop, and the shot poses no discernible risk of injury to any person or damage to any property.
- 08
Obligation to avoid suffering
An animal being targeted must not be inflicted with unnecessary pain. The objective is to deliver a humane death. The animal must be shot within the reasonably accepted killing range of the firearm and ammunition being used.
- 09
Wounded animals
If an animal is wounded, operators must take all reasonable steps to locate it so that it can be killed quickly and humanely.
- 10
Lactating females with dependent young
If a lactating female is killed, every reasonable effort must be made to locate and dispatch any dependent young.
