Log in to see the plans as drawnthe scale and location of the issue. These will often be used together in an integrated approach, as
rarely will one method alone be successful in reducing the biosecurity risk. Council is guided by
industry best practice and will continue to explore management alternatives that are safe, cost
effective and practical. Council will continue to explore alternatives that are both cost effective and
practical. Methods are summarised in Table 7the table below6.
Method Advantages Disadvantages Examples
Trapping Targeted control Labour intensive, small Pig trapping
targeted areas only,
ineffective for some
species
Baiting Targeted control, Concerns from some Wild dog, pig and fox
through choice and sectors of the control
placement of baitsno community regarding
impact on native species distress to feral animal
and risk to non-target
Cost effective
species
Shooting Targeted control Only where safe in rural Wild deer control
areas, ineffective for
some species
Canid Pest Ejectors Targeted control Concerns from some Wild dog, foxes
(CPEs) sectors of the
community regarding
distress to feral animal
Den fumigation Targeted control Labour intensive Foxes
Fencing Complete exclusion Expensive to build and All feral species
maintain. Some species
damage or can climb
(foxes)
Shifts the problem
elsewhere
Guardian dogs, alpacas, Doesn’t require the use Can be expensive to Wild dogs
llamas and donkeys of poisons or firearms train, purchase and
maintain
Doesn’t reduce feral
animal numbers and
shifts the problem
elsewhere
Table 6:7 Advantages and disadvantages of various pest animal control methods
New management options for feral animals are constantly emerging with new products, techniques
and technologies coming onto the market, with the aim of tackling emerging threats. Council has,
and will continue to trial new technologies as they become available, assessing them for efficacy,
safety, cost effectiveness, and potential off-target impact.
