Due to feral pigs causing impacts to the Reserve, and to meet NPWS's General Biosecurity Duty, (GBD), under the Biosecurity Act, NPWS will be using Hoggone bait to control feral pigs.
NPWS pesticide trained staff will be using a new control product to decrease impacts caused by feral pigs in the Reserve.
HOGGONE will be used on these Reserves, and the product is a peanut based product with Sodium nitrite as the poison.
This product is very effective at controlling feral pigs and when used carefully has few off-target impacts.
NPWS staff will be monitoring the success of the program, and this program may last multiple weeks.
