Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 ground baiting program for feral pigs

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from 3rd May 2025 to 31st December 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison grain for the control of feral pigs.

The program will take place in Warrambool State Conservation Area as weather and seasonal conditions allow. Australian wildlife has a naturally high tolerance to 1080 and will not be negatively impacted.

The program is designed to minimise the impact of feral pigs on native vegetation, wildlife and neighbouring enterprises.

Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

Please contact the local Barwon NPWS area office for more information on 6792 7300.
