Wild dogs left with nowhere to hide following coordinated baiting program
Western Local Land Services and landholders who are members in 22 pest management and Western Landcare groups have carried out one of the largest ever wild dog baiting programs in the Western Division.
The targeted campaign commenced at the start of May, with a fixed-wing aircraft travelling along 6,348 kilometres of predetermined bait lines, dropping 63,480 baits over largely inaccessible country across 155 properties for the control of wild dogs.
Following aerial baiting which took just over a week, landholders in pest management and Western Landcare groups worked with their local biosecurity officers to collect meat baits to strategically distribute on their property, which concluded by the end of May.
