Pest animal control

Landscape Officers can help landholders fulfil their obligation to control pest animals, as per the Landscape South Australia Act, by providing information, advice and integrated control services. We actively work with councils and landholders to ensure pest animals are controlled effectively and in a coordinated manner that is in line with regional priorities.

Services available include:

  • Sale of baits - 1080 rabbit bait, pindone rabbit bait, 1080 fox and wild dog baits (frozen meat and commercially manufactured options).
  • Vertebrate pest control programs - rabbit bait trailing, laying fox baits.
  • Equipment hire - baitlayer trailers & dog/fox traps.

Charges for these services are as stated in this pricing schedule. This pricing includes a charge of $1.60 per 1080 frozen meat bait which is a partial subsidy as per the statewide landscape pricing policy. A 20% discount will be applied during annual bait distribution days (usually held Feb-March, see our events page) and when three or more adjoining landholders participate as part of a coordinated baiting program.

If you need assistance with pest animal control, please contact the Landscape Officers in your area. Please note that our Landscape Officers are often in the field so it's recommended to call to make an appointment at least a few days in advance before you require assistance.
