On my permissions I offer free pest control and get plenty of takers, only thing I pay for is deer stalking , driven game and the odd wildfowling trip.

In my work I used private individuals for rabbit and goose control.
The goose shooters were on an as required basis and were all invitees. I supplied the cartridges and issued instructions on how, when and where. The shot geese they could keep up to 6 per gun, the remainder I disposed of to farmers suffering damage.
Rabbiters were on an annual contract which stipulated property boundaries, methods and best practice as often they were operating in public view. The rabbits they could keep, initially numbers were substantial and many went to butchers. I also provided them with references to other landowners.
Cormorants I controlled personally.
