Toowoomba Regional Council Extends its Wild Dog-Baiting Control Program

Targeted control activities will be deployed in close proximity to the Kingsthorpe area from 21-28 November, in conjunction with a larger broad scale baiting program.

The scope of the targeted program will focus closer to peri-urban areas.

The most effective way of controlling wild dogs is via an integrated and coordinated approach over a large area of land at the same time.

Dog owners in the Kingsthorpe area are advised to keep their animals restrained or otherwise prevented from wandering for the duration of the targeted control program (21-28 November) to ensure they do not encounter any lethal control measures.

Council assists landowners to keep their land free of pest animals such as wild dogs, foxes and feral pigs by offering a '1080 baiting service' four times a year, and further assistance to landholders throughout the year on an ad-hoc basis.

Council encourages rural landholders to work together and carry out baiting in conjunction with other wild dog control methods such as trapping and shooting in order to reduce the impact of these pests for all.
