Other planned events: Emergency 1080 ground baiting

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will commence an emergency 1080 ground baiting program in Kings Plains NP on the 22 January to 20 February 2025.

The operations will use manufactured baits containing 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs. Signs will be placed at the entry to all the baiting locations. Domestic pets are not permitted in NPWS managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

For further information call the NPWS Northern Tablelands Area office on 02 6739 0700.
