Bunnybait Rodent Control Pindone-treated oats

Bunnybait Rodent Control Product Information Sheet With information received from a leading Vertebrate Pest control company covering more than a decade of intensive rabbit control operations, many if not most suburban/industrial rabbit situations populations involve where control by fencing, warren destruction or fumigation is simply not sufficient to achieve a high reduction or is too expensive to carry out.

Rabbits commonly live under buildings or in dense cover and it is impossible to cover all these situations. Here the most effective control consists of strategic poisoning with the anticoagulant poison, pindone (similar to rat poison), combined with one or more of the above. Pindone is one of two poisons registered for rabbit control. The other poison is sodium fluoroacetate or “1080”, which is normally used in rural areas only.

1080 cannot be used in built-up areas because of the dangers of secondary poisoning of dogs and cats (which may eat rabbit carcasses). Pindone has the great advantage of being what we call a chronic poison (i.e. one in which the animal requires several feeds before sufficient toxic action is caused to induce death).

Available in 2.5Kg, 10Kg. However, some precautions are necessary in the case of wildlife and pets. Your appropriate State or Territory Government Department will give some advice and literature on the various options available.
