Bush Smart - About Us
About Us -
Professional. Discreet. Effective.
Bush Smart Vertebrate Control is an Australian-owned and operated business specialising in professional vertebrate pest management, feral animal control and contract shooting services throughout Canberra, the ACT and regional New South Wales.
Built on a strong agricultural background and more than 30 years of firearms experience, Bush Smart understands the challenges landholders face when managing invasive animals, protecting livestock, maintaining infrastructure and preserving valuable agricultural and environmental assets.We work with private landholders, agricultural enterprises, government agencies, local councils, commercial property managers and environmental organisations, delivering practical, responsible and effective pest animal management solutions.
Experience You Can Rely On
Our foundations are firmly rooted in Australian agriculture and rural property management. We understand firsthand the financial, environmental and operational impacts that invasive animals can have on a property.
This experience, combined with extensive firearms knowledge and professional firearms instruction experience in both the ACT and NSW, allows us to approach each project with a strong emphasis on safety, planning and operational effectiveness.
From large-scale rural pest management contracts to sensitive urban and peri-urban operations, our approach remains the same: understand the problem, assess the environment and deliver a professional solution. We recognise that no two properties or pest management challenges are alike. Every operation is tailored to the location, landholder's objectives and specific management requirements.
Combining Experience With Modern Technology
At Bush Smart Vertebrate Control, we believe effective pest animal management comes from combining traditional field knowledge with modern technology.
Our investment in advanced thermal imaging, night vision, specialised off-road equipment and thermal drone surveying allows us to operate efficiently across a wide range of environments.
These technologies support better animal detection, more informed planning and targeted management programs, particularly across large agricultural properties and challenging terrain.
Through our Bush Smart Aerial Operations division and partnership with Vision Tech Labs, we can also offer complementary aerial surveying, mapping and agricultural drone services.
This combination of ground-based experience and aerial technology provides our clients with a more comprehensive approach to property and environmental management.
Discretion, Safety & Professionalism
We understand that professional vertebrate pest control requires more than simply achieving results.
Operating around residential communities, agricultural businesses, sensitive infrastructure and public spaces demands careful planning, responsible decision-making and discretion. Discretion is paramount to the way we operate. Our team places a strong emphasis on minimising disruption, maintaining public safety, complying with relevant legislation and conducting operations professionally.
We maintain appropriate licensing and insurance, with safety procedures and risk assessments forming an integral part of our work.
Whether operating on a remote rural property or within a carefully managed peri-urban environment, our commitment to safety, animal welfare and professionalism remains unchanged.
Supporting Australian Landholders & Environmental Projects
Bush Smart Vertebrate Control is committed to helping landholders protect their properties, agricultural productivity and environmental investments. We understand the importance of effective invasive species management in supporting sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, conservation and carbon offset projects. Our experience extends across rural NSW, including the Snowy Mountains, Southern Tablelands, Pilliga and North West NSW regions, where invasive animal pressure can create significant challenges for landholders and environmental management programs. We take pride in building lasting working relationships with our clients and delivering practical management solutions based on their long-term objectives.
