Chalmers’ Dramas with Feral Animals
ABOUT
Rod Chalmers controls pest species on his farm because the damage they cause costs him money.
The property has a range of animal pests. Amazingly, the most damage is caused by two of the smallest pests in farming. They are army grubs and earth mites, which eat the grain and pasture. Other pests on the farm are pigs, foxes, ducks, mice, rabbits, coots, crows, cats and an increasing number of deer.
