Rabbit bait distribution days

The use of rabbit baiting control options are just one of the tools we suggest to help control escalating rabbit numbers throughout the region. Pindone-treated carrots will be available for purchase at our rabbit bait distribution days from December 2025 to April 2026 (see dates). K5 Calicivirus-treated carrots will also be available at the March distribution days.

To participate in our distribution day please follow the steps below.

For pindone-treated carrots

Supporting you to control rabbits

Complete the mandatory online training module - Safe and successful use of Pindone for rabbit management. This takes 15-30 minutes to complete. On completion, you will be issued a link that will allow you to register for your local distribution day. Please note the training must be completed each season.

Supporting you to control rabbits

Register your attendance at one of our distribution days (see dates). You will get a link to access bookings following completion of the online training and must register at least five days before the distribution day.

Supporting you to control rabbits

Buy your regular carrots and begin your free feeding at least 15 days prior to attending the distribution day.

Supporting you to control rabbits

Attend the distribution day to pick up your pindone-treated carrots and begin baiting.

Please note we no longer sell pindone-treated carrots directly from our office - they will only be available from our distribution days. This approach ensures that rabbits are baited across multiple properties at the same time and enables more effective rabbit control and better environmental outcomes.

For K5 calicivirus carrots

If your property is smaller than 1,000 square metres or if you are not comfortable using poison, K5 Calicivirus may be an alternative control method.

Please note, the online mandatory training is not required to purchase K5 calicivirus-treated carrots as it is with pindone.
