Feral pig management baiting programme
Our approach is to promote the programme, conduct site visits, support landowners (encouraging neighbour involvement) in applying for permits and to carry out any pre-feeding process. This is followed by BBI undertaking the baiting via a professional contractor. We also collaborate with state and local government departments if they are the neighbouring landowners. In June/July 2023, our feral pig management programme has supported approximately 30 landholders to eradicate over 120 feral pigs within our region.
