Action Table. Fox All Sites; Control the fox population Contact your local NRM Board to seek advice to plan and implement a 1080 baiting control program. Best results are achieved by being involved in a region fox control program. Fox baiting cannot be undertaken on properties smaller than 5 ha or where risks of non-target animals finding baits is high. Burying about 4-6 baits per 100 ha, in locations known to be used by foxes (e.g. vehicle or animal tracks) is recommended. Bait sites must be marked and checked regularly to monitor bait take. The fumigation of dens may also be considered as a control option. Fox baiting in spring can be used to target foxes during their reproductive stage, when females require more food to sustain their young. Fox baiting in autumn targets young foxes from the previous spring as they disperse in search of new territory. Rabbits All Sites; Reduce and control the population Undertake an integrated rabbit control program. Bait with either 1080 or Pindone poison bait. The best results are obtained if three free feeds (oats with no poison) are laid prior to baiting, with a three or four day interval between each feed. Baits should be laid within the rabbit feeding areas. Laying the baits on disturbed soil (ripped or scratched with a mattock or similar) is usually recommended to attract the rabbits. Follow up baiting with xxxxxx ripping and fumigation of those xxxxxxx that reopen or are hard to reach with the tractor and ripping tine. Start xxxxxx destruction as soon as practical after poisoning. Contact your local NRM Board seek advice and to purchase baits. Late summer or autumn is the best time to bait rabbits, as at this time alternative food is scare and rabbit numbers are low. Xxxxxx or den destruction should be undertaken in conjunction with baiting programs where possible. The best time to fumigate is after the opening rains, when the soil is less porous. Goats and Deer All Sites; Monitor and control the population Goats and deer are generally in low numbers and only observed sporadically at this site. Close watering points where possible. Shoot animals when observed (shooting should only occur if it is safe to do so and if undertaken by a suitably licenced and qualified operator). If numbers increase, seek advice from your local NRM Board to plan and implement other control options such as trapping, mustering or a Judas goat program.

Participate in a region fox control program is one is implemented. Foxes are most effectively controlled with 1080 baiting. Fox baiting cannot be undertaken on properties smaller than 5 ha or where risks of non-target animals finding baits is high. Burying about 4-6 baits per 100 ha, in locations known to be used by foxes (e.g. vehicle or animal tracks) is recommended. Bait sites must be marked and checked regularly to monitor bait take. All 1080 baiting must be undertaken as per the Directions of Use. The fumigation of dens may be considered as a complimentary control option. All dens need to be plugged to prevent escape of foxes and fumigant. Fox baiting in spring can be used to target foxes during their reproductive stage, when females require more food to sustain their young. Fox baiting in autumn targets young foxes from the previous spring as they disperse in search of new territory. Goats Monitor and Control the Population Monitor for the presence of Goats and if observed, implement an effective control program. Consider the following options. Close watering points where possible. Shoot animals if observed (shooting should only occur if it is safe to do so and if undertaken by a suitably licenced and qualified operator) and/or muster animals and remove from the property. Goats As required need free standing water; therefore they can be trapped using goat-proof fences which surround the watering hole with a number of one-way entrances. Traps need to be check regularly and animals disposed of humanly. If numbers increase, seek advice from your local NRM Board to plan and implement a comprehensive control program. Participate in any regional control program if one is implemented. Rubbish dumping Remove disturbance Remove any rubbish, machinery, equipment or plant material from the SEB area. Prevent any further dumping of rubbish Material to be removed within 1 year of commenceme nt of...
