Central Otago Pest Control specialises in precision shooting to manage pest populations including rabbits, possums, deer, pigs, goats, and wallabies. Our methods use no poisons, making us a trusted choice for vineyards, orchards, farms, and lifestyle blocks throughout the region.

Based in Cromwell, we service the wider Central Otago area including Bannockburn, Alexandra, Clyde, Wanaka, Hawea, Tarras, Queenstown, and Arrowtown.

With experienced hunters and a strong understanding of local terrain, we provide safe, accurate, and environmentally conscious pest control tailored to your property. All work is carried out under strict firearm safety protocols, with clear communication and respect for livestock, staff, and surrounding properties.

We believe in reliable, ethical pest management with minimal disruption. For commercial clients, we also offer detailed post-job reporting and follow-up recommendations to support ongoing land management.

Whether you need a one-off job or regular seasonal control, we tailor our service to your needs and deliver results you can trust.

Services

Possums

Possums cause major damage to fruit trees, vines, native plants and buildings. We provide accurate shooting-based possum control, removing them safely and without the risks associated with toxins. Perfect for commercial growers needing reliable, regular control.

Starting from $50/hr

Deer

Deer can cause severe damage to orchards, vineyards and pasture. Using safe, accurate shooting methods, we target deer during peak movement times for maximum effectiveness. All work is carried out with strict safety protocols and property boundaries confirmed before the job begins.

Starting from $100/hr

Wild goats can quickly overrun rural properties, damaging native bush, young trees and farm infrastructure. We offer skilled, mobile shooting services to reduce or remove goat groups efficiently, even in challenging terrain. Ideal for farms, stations and large blocks

Pigs

Wild pigs are destructive to our native bush and farm lands and hard to manage without experience. We provide safe, controlled shooting to reduce pig numbers and protect your land, stock and crops. Suitable for farms, lifestyle blocks and commercial properties across Central Otago.

Rabbits

Rabbits are one of Central Otago’s most damaging pests. We provide highly effective, toxin-free rabbit control through precision shooting, helping protect crops, pasture and young vines. Our service is discreet, safe, and tailored to your property layout with day or night options available.

Wallabies

Wallabies are spreading into Otago and can cause major pasture and crop loss. We offer targeted control for properties at risk, using safe and accurate shooting methods. Ideal for farms and large rural blocks wanting proactive management.
