Protecting rural properties

More than someone who turns up with a rifle.

SouthPoint provides structured pest animal control built around property knowledge, safe planning, remote monitoring, trapping, thermal observation and clear communication with the landholder.

Because Jon also operates SouthPoint Weed Spraying, he is regularly working on farms across the region and naturally notices fresh rooting, wallows, tracks, rabbit warrens, fox movement, deer sign, goat activity and other changes on the ground.

That gives landholders another experienced set of eyes on their property and can help identify emerging problems before the damage becomes more widespread.

Services

Practical options matched to the property.

Work is discussed and quoted according to the target species, access, terrain, stock, neighbouring properties, pest pressure and monitoring requirements.

01

Feral pig control

4G trail camera monitoring, pre-feeding, portable trapping and thermal-assisted control matched to pig activity, terrain and property requirements.

02

Fox control

Targeted night operations around lambing areas, poultry, pets and known movement corridors.

03

Feral goat control

Ground-based control for grazing properties, steep country and areas where goats compete with livestock.

04

Rabbit control

Targeted control around warrens, paddocks, infrastructure and areas showing sustained rabbit pressure.

05

Deer management

Property-specific management where deer are causing damage, creating safety issues or requiring lawful control.

06

Thermal surveys

Observation and monitoring to better understand species, numbers, movement and likely control options.

Thermal technology

See more. Disturb less. Plan better.

SouthPoint uses modern thermal optics, laser rangefinding, 4G trail cameras, portable pig trapping systems and vehicle-mounted scanning equipment to monitor activity and support targeted pest control across large rural properties.

  • Vehicle-mounted thermal observation from the UTV
  • Handheld thermal scanning and thermal riflescopes
  • 4G trail camera monitoring before, during and after control work
  • Portable feral pig trapping supported by pre-feeding and remote monitoring
  • Digital mapping, recorded observations and property notes
  • Starlink internet and UHF CB communications in remote areas

Feral pig trapping & 4G monitoring

Monitor first. Trap at the right time. Follow up where needed.

SouthPoint can deploy portable feral pig trapping systems as a standalone control option or as part of an integrated program with targeted shooting. Trapping is supported by pre-feeding and 4G cellular trail cameras so pig activity can be monitored remotely before the trap is activated.

This approach helps identify mob size, travel patterns and feeding behaviour, reduces unnecessary disturbance and gives landholders another practical control method where shooting alone may not be the best fit.

More options. More coverage. Better results.

About SouthPoint

Local, known and already working on rural properties.

Jon South is a Cowra-based rural contractor known to many landholders across the Central West through weed spraying, pest animal control and ongoing property work.

SouthPoint’s approach is built on reliability, discretion and respect for stock, gates, fences, roads, neighbours and private property. Each job is discussed with the landholder before work begins so boundaries, no-go areas and safety requirements are clear.

How it works

A clear process from first call to follow-up.

  1. 1

    Discuss

    Target species, recent sightings, losses, access and landholder priorities.

  2. 2

    Assess

    Review property layout, stock, neighbours, roads, terrain, pest sign and safe operating areas.

  3. 3

    Monitor & pre-feed

    Where useful, deploy 4G trail cameras and pre-feed sites to confirm activity, timing, mob size and movement patterns before control begins.

  4. 4

    Control

    Use the most suitable agreed method - including portable trapping, targeted shooting, or a combination of both where appropriate.

  5. 5

    Follow up

    Review results, continue monitoring where required and plan further work to target remaining pest activity.
