Clarity on night vision

Being able to see in the dark without a light has become the norm over the past few years. Many use night-vision and thermal-imaging equipment and this has replaced bright, battery-powered lights for night-time pest control. Is it essential? Well, that depends on your ability with other control methods or the situation in which you want to reduce a pest population.

Essential?

If you can’t set a snare, train a dog or work with ferrets but want to get a rabbit, then it might be essential. If the area doesn’t suit other methods, or you need to employ a subtle method, then using night vision is a good way to do things. But despite what many think, it is not a magic cure.
