WalkedUp Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I emailed BASC this morning regarding pest control in Conwy whilst England based. I had two emails and two calls back from them before close of business. They must be getting hammered with enquires at the minute but I feel that I received good service and as a part-time BASC knocker thought I should give credit where it is due.

hatter Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks for posting a positive response about BASC. Their Firearms department were very helpful when I wanted advice about my FAC application. As you say, credit where credit is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just ask what the advice was from BASC as I live in England and my perms are just the other side of the border in Wales. I do have a written and signed statement from one farmer saying I'm a key worker doing pest control. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylag Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Providing you have a letter from your permission saying you are carrying out pest control there is no problem.If you go on BASC coronavirus website it will give you all the advice.I can still carry out pest control on the farms I go to and also feed the pheasants as this is said to be essential work.Make sure you always carry your letters with you.

powler Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Great thanks for the info Greylag, I was worried the rules may have changed. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted October 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 This was prior to the Firebreak. Pest control and feeding of birds etc is allowable under essential work and animal welfare respectively. They said to have letter of permission from lease owner / land owner regarding the shoot and call North Wales Police on 111 prior to going out so if stopped on the border you can quickly give them the reference number so they know it’s all pre planned and logged.
