Kangaroo Relocation & Wildlife Chemical Capture in Western Australia
Fauna Services provides expert chemical capture and kangaroo relocation services across Western Australia, including Perth, the Swan Coastal Plain, Pilbara and beyond. Using tranquiliser dart technology and working under veterinarian supervision, our licensed team safely sedates and relocates wildlife from urban development sites, golf courses, mining tenements and sensitive environmental zones.
Chemical capture is the most humane and effective method for managing wildlife where traditional trapping is not feasible — particularly in urban areas, on mine sites where firearms are restricted, or where animals are stressed, aggressive or difficult to approach.
Kangaroo Relocation Services Perth & WA
Western Grey Kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus) are frequently displaced by land clearing and urban development across the Swan Coastal Plain and surrounding regions. When kangaroo populations become isolated by development, over-populate a golf course, or come into conflict with residents, chemical capture and relocation is often the recommended management approach.
Our kangaroo relocation service covers:
- Urban development sites — kangaroos isolated by land clearing on the Swan Coastal Plain and Perth metropolitan fringe
- Golf course management — reducing overpopulated kangaroo herds that damage greens or pose a safety risk
- Residential areas — relocating kangaroos that have become a nuisance or safety hazard in suburban settings
- Mining and infrastructure projects — kangaroo management on remote tenements across the Pilbara and Goldfields
What Chemical Capture Is Used For
Beyond kangaroo relocation, our chemical capture and tranquiliser darting service is applicable for a wide range of wildlife management scenarios across Western Australia:
- Western Ringtail Possum relocation from residential and commercial developments
- Feral cat euthanasia on mine sites and areas where firearms are not permitted
- Judas animal programs — attaching radio-transmitters to donkeys, goats, camels and horses to locate and reduce feral herds
- Fauna radio-tracking — attaching transmitters to conservation significant species for research and monitoring
- Health checks and veterinary procedures — safely sedating animals for physical examination or treatment
- Recapture of escaped or caged animals
