The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting a ground and aerial baiting program using feral cat Eradicat baits, containing 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate). This baiting program is part of a trial study for feral cat management for the protection of wildlife.
The 1080 baiting program will be conducted between 14 June 2025 and 14 July 2025 in the western section of Yathong Nature Reserve. All baiting locations will be identifiable by signs.
Please be reminded that domestic pets are not permitted on NPWS managed lands. Pets, particularly working dogs and cats, may be affected and must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity of the nature reserve and must not enter the baiting location (as 1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
This program is subject to suitable weather conditions and public notifications will be updated if the program changes.
For further information please contact the NPWS Central West Area office at Bathurst on (02) 6332 7640.
