Escalating numbers of feral rabbits pose significant threats to agriculture and the environment in the Hills and Fleurieu region.
We open this event to members of our community willing to commit to safe, responsible and effective baiting of rabbits. This event makes discounted pindone carrot baits available to qualified* members of the community.
1. Complete the mandatory online training module – Safe and successful use of Pindone for rabbit management
2. Register your attendance at our distribution day.
a. Your property must be over 1000m2.
b. Record the property where baiting will occur.
c. Select number of bags to collect, capped at three 3kg bags of carrot bait.
3. Attend the distribution day to pick up your carrots. Bring a bucket, tub or plastic bags to collect your carrot bait.
*The online training is mandatory for anyone wishing to access pindone baits from Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu. Course completion records will be checked by our staff at the event: no training = no bait.
