Read and understand the instructions before use. Keep poisons locked away in a separate location to possible contaminants. Wear appropriate clothing. Dispose of any poison containers according to instructions. Warn the public of poisoning operations.
Shooting is most successful on properties with little cover.
A .22 rifle fitted with a telescopic sight, sound moderators and sub-sonic hollow point ammunition is recommended for shooting rabbits at night. The firearm operator must be fully conversant with the Arms Code Firearms Safety manual issued by the New Zealand Police and hold a current firearm licence or be supervised by a licence holder. Rabbit feeding areas should be assessed during the day prior to the night shooting. Paddocks with stock should be avoided. Heavy rain, strong winds, and bright moonlight should be avoided.
