Using poison baits in SA

When using poison baits it is a legal requirement under the Agricultural and Veterinary Products (Control of Use) Act 2002 to:

  • use bait products that are registered for use in South Australia
  • follow product label instructions and Directions for Use
  • not possess or use 'home-made' baits.

Baiting with 1080 poison

Many native animals and plants in Australia are threatened with extinction because they either eaten by pests or they cannot compete with them. All Australian states and territories support 1080 baiting for pest animal management.
