Some local government agencies (LGA) provide a baiting service for landholders in their area.Commercial manufactured 1080 or PAPP baits may be purchased from licenced S7 retailers subject to the buyer fulfilling the requirements of the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019.The possession, supply and use of S7 poisons is regulated under the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019and associated regulations and Queensland Health regulations. Read Queensland Health medicines and poisons for more information. These poisons are restricted chemical products also known as S7 poisons.There are 3 poisons that can be legally used for wild dog control:.Processed manufactured baits or fresh meat baits can be laid quickly by hand, vehicle or from air, with large population reductions recorded from monitored baiting campaigns. Poison baits are an economical and effective control method.If trapping and poisoning is also used, care must be taken to protect guardian dogs. Some producers in Queensland have decreased predation on sheep and goats using this method. Livestock guardian dogs have been used to protect livestock from predators in Europe, Asia and America.
Guardian dogs, alpacas, lamas and donkeys are used to protect livestock from predators.Electric fences suitable for wild dogs have been developed.Properly maintained fences can restrict movement back into an area where wild dogs have been controlled. Fencing can be used to exclude wild dogs but does require maintenance to repair damage caused by fallen timber, floods and animals to be effective.Minimal impact on non-target species if used correctly.May be used in conjunction with strychnine to ensure quick death (should only be used in remote areas where traps cannot be checked daily).May be used in conjunction with trap alert systems to ensure trapped dogs are attended to quickly.Only padded or offset laminated jawed traps are acceptable.Trapping is predominantly used in areas with low populations and to control 'problem' wild dogs. Success of trapping (using leg hold traps and snares) depends on operator's skill. Trapping is time-consuming and labour-intensive.Shooting is opportunistic method, mostly used for control of small populations or individual problem animals.Control methods include shooting, trapping, fencing, baiting and livestock guardian dogs combined with land management.Can be achieved using national approach, where control methods are applied across all tenures by all stakeholders at landscape (rather than property) level in cooperative and coordinated manner. Effective control requires integrated, collaborative approach.
