You should Mike, you really should, just do it, go and ask. I read from people on here who live in ‘the country’ and struggle to find permissions and I wonder if a lot of the areas are already spoken for ? Maybe it’s because there is a lot of ‘competion’ from others who shoot due to there being more shooters in the countryside willing to shoot live quarry ?? I don’t know, just a thought. Very very few of the guys at my club/range would be into shooting vermin or pests - they just don’t like it or, ‘get it’. Townies just love feeding pigeons and squirrels I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to shooting with most people I know.

So, I suppose what I’m saying is, given you are living in a ‘towny’ area, I reckon any offer of free pest control (as a non-professional) will be better received than you might think.
