Charlotte Smith is on a farm in South Gloucestershire to talk pests and predators - and how to control them. She meets dairy farmer Rich Cornock who has an ongoing battle with rats and rabbits. He's brought in his neighbour Graham who's an old fashioned rabbit catcher, complete with dog and ferret.
Nancy Nicolson has been to a salmon farm in Scotland where the predators costing the industry money are seals - but how do you control an animal that is itself protected?
And Anna Hill goes out with a gamekeeper to see how he tackles foxes on a Norfolk estate.
