Bait collection in the Riverina region
In the Riverina region, landholders can collect baits by joining local pest animal management groups and becoming a Feral Fighter. This allows landholders to work together to bait simultaneously to cover a wide area, which results in a better knockdown.
- free vertebrate pesticide induction training (now available online)
- first 30 meat baits free
- free 1080 corflute fox signs
- rabbit control - access to free RHDV K5
- pig control – access free 1080 and grain (till 30th June 2024)
- up-to-date information and support from Riverina Local Land Services.
It's important to note, all land managers have a general biosecurity duty under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015. This duty requires that anyone who knows or ought to reasonably know about a biosecurity risk has a duty to prevent, eliminate or minimise that risk as far as reasonably practicable.
As a land manager you also have biosecurity obligations to your neighbours. Riverina land managers should refer to the Working towards your general biosecurity guide or speak to your local biosecurity officer.
