The Field Gallery
Working dogs, ferrets and humane traps in the field. Every method here replaces poison — protecting livestock, wildlife and the watershed from collateral chemical harm.
Malinois on deployment.
We run Belgian Malinois — the world's premier working dog. Bred for relentless drive, high nerve and a perfect off-switch, a Mali-X will track a cold scent, hold a perimeter for hours and engage quarry on command. Faster than terriers, steadier than hounds and utterly biddable, they are the cleanest biological tool we have for poison-free control.
Introducing Ilva, a Belgian Malinois and an important member of the Apex Natural Management Canine Unit.
Ilva supports selected site assessments by using her natural scenting ability, intelligence and agility to help locate signs of animal activity, identify potential harbourage areas and search difficult ground, outbuildings and agricultural environments.
Working-dog assistance forms part of our wider poison-free approach to managing rats, mice, rabbits and grey squirrels. It may be used alongside monitoring, trapping, ferreting, proofing and habitat management, depending on the property and species involved.
Every assignment is carefully assessed, with safety, animal welfare, landowner permission and environmental responsibility remaining our priorities.

Ferrets in the warren.
Introducing Stalka and Toji, the Apex Natural Management Mustelid Unit.
These two working ferrets support our traditional approach to rabbit management. Their natural ability to navigate underground burrow systems allows them to locate rabbits and encourage them towards carefully positioned nets, enabling controlled and targeted removal.
Ferreting can provide an effective alternative in locations where other methods may be unsuitable. It may be used on farms, paddocks, equestrian land, allotments and private estates where rabbit activity is causing damage to crops, grazing, boundaries or landscaping.
Every assignment begins with a site assessment. Our methods are selected according to the land, environment and scale of activity, with animal welfare, responsible working practices and landowner permission treated as priorities.
For further information or to arrange an initial assessment:
Ferrets enter the warren and bolt quarry to waiting nets and marksmen — clearing a whole colony with zero residue.
Each ferret is collared, named and handled with care — a working partner, not a disposable tool.
Humane traps, fully logged.
Every set is mapped, numbered and checked. Traps are sited inside legal tunnels and baited selectively so non-target wildlife can never enter — a method as accountable as it is effective.
Set 07 — Tunnel ConfiguredLive-Catch Cage
A one-way door cage that holds the target unharmed for relocation. Baited and sited to exclude non-target species; checked daily by law and by our standard.
Fenn Tunnel Set
A tunnel-mounted instant-kill trap, deployed only inside legal tunnel constructions so no bird, pet or game animal can ever enter. Selective, fast and residue-free.
Purse & Long Nets
Purse nets over bolt-holes and long-nets around the warren catch bolted quarry clean during ferreting — no poison, no wounding, full accountability of every animal.
