About the Operator

Davrac Rural Pest Services is operated by David Rivett, who brings extensive practical experience in rural environments and vertebrate pest management across Central West NSW.


David has a strong understanding of:

  • Regional pest behaviour and seasonal movement patterns
  • Livestock protection requirements and on-farm risk considerations
  • The importance of coordinated, multi-property pest control


His approach is built on delivering structured, compliant and outcome-focused programs, rather than one-off reactive control.


David works directly with landholders, councils and regional stakeholders to ensure:

  • Clear communication before, during and after operations
  • Safe, lawful and accountable service delivery
  • Programs aligned to both property-level and regional bio-security outcomes


With a focus on professionalism, consistency and results, Davrac Rural Pest Services provides a reliable, defensible and practical service model suited to both individual landholders and larger coordinated pest management programs.

Communication and Reporting



Pre‑operation planning

We take the time upfront to understand your property, priorities, livestock movements and risks—so the plan is practical, accurate and aligned to your goals.


Coordinated operations (where required)

For shared boundaries or neighbouring properties, we coordinate communication to reduce re-infestation, improve safety and deliver better results.


Clear post‑operation reporting

After each operation, you receive a concise summary of results, observations and risks to support compliance and informed decisions.




Ongoing guidance & monitoring

We provide practical advice on monitoring activity, timing future control and managing long‑term pest pressure.


The result

Clear communication, better decisions, and a more effective long‑term pest management outcome.

Coordinated Neighbour Pest Control


We support landholders by:

Encouraging neighbour cooperation
Bringing neighbouring properties together to align efforts and reduce re-infestation pressure.


Coordinating timing and methods
Aligning control work with breeding cycles and peak activity to maximise impact using consistent, proven methods.


Planning at a broader scale
Coordinated, multi-property programs improve coverage, efficiency and long-term results.


The result

Stronger, longer-lasting pest control that better protects livestock, crops and the property overall.



why landholders choose davrac

Planned for long-term impact
Davrac focuses on reducing livestock losses, lowering pest activity, limiting damage and improving long-term productivity — not just delivering a once-off visit and hoping for the best.


Licensed, insured and compliant
All operations are conducted lawfully, safely and in line with NSW requirements. Davrac is fully licensed and carries $20 million public liability insurance.


Property-specific programs
Every property is different. Programs are tailored to property size, terrain, activity levels, seasonal conditions and landholder objectives.


Clear reporting and better visibility
Operations are backed by structured planning, GPS mapping/reporting and on-ground assessment, with aerial drone surveying also used to better understand pest activity where relevant.


Coordinated control where possible
Neighbour-aligned and group control programs can help suppress re-infestation and produce stronger landscape-level outcomes than isolated one-off work.
