Why are CPEs are a fantastic tool for baiting wild dogs and foxes on farms?
- Easily disarmed to protect working and pet dogs
- Rarely target non-invasive species due to their innovative trigger design

Got rabbits? Coordinated control as a community during summer when available feed is low is proven to be highly effective! Please get in touch if you would like assistance with any rabbit control you plan to undertake this summer on your farm.

Horse hoof, synthetic fermented egg & vanilla essence are among the novel odours tested for luring in wild dogs.
@westauscanids says a range of eight odours were tested in WA to improve lure uptake on canid pest ejectors (pictured) by wild dogs.

Baiting on your property? If you have working dogs or family pets on farm, a muzzle is a great way to protect those animals from taking a potentially lethal bait.
Whether starting fresh or muzzle resistant, https://t.co/D4NehktOQN has awesome resources to train your best mate.

We have some amazing new cameras thanks to funding from the State Gov to develop of a sophisticated camera trap network in the northern agricultural zone of WA (https://t.co/j8hhaSJRXl).
The cameras use AI tech to identify specific animals - recent photos below! @westauscanids

Severe pig damage stretching for kilometres was recently recorded along part of the Irwin River.
In more positive news, a mallee fowl was spotted in an area in Mingenew that had been cleared out of a dense feral pig population - a positive sign that the area's rehab is on track!

Working dogs are the backbone of many livestock businesses so it makes sense that they are producers’ top priority when planning feral predator control programs. Protect your dogs when implementing a control program on your property. https://t.co/iiKLrbvudy
