For introductory information see the bait collection and vertebrate pest animal pages provided by Local Land Services NSW. 

Become a Feral Fighter

In the Riverina region, landholders can collect baits by joining local pest animal management groups and becoming a Feral Fighter. This allows landholders to work together to bait simultaneously to cover a wide area, which results in a better knockdown. Local Land Services Biosecurity Officers provide up to date information, advice and support to tailor a pest management plan for your property. In addition, the following subsidised incentives are available until 30 June 2026:

  • vertebrate pesticide induction training (now available online)
  • fox and wild dog meat baits
  • grain for free-feeding, 1080 poisoning and/or trapping of feral pigs
  • poisoning signs
  • fresh cut poisoned carrot (1080 or Pindone) for rabbits.

It's important to note, all land managers have a general biosecurity duty under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015. This duty requires that anyone who knows or ought to reasonably know about a biosecurity risk has a duty to prevent, eliminate or minimise that risk as far as reasonably practicable.

As a land manager you also have biosecurity obligations to your neighbours. 

Bait collection points and dates

There are fox and/or wild dog bait collection points across the Riverina region. See locations below to find your closest point or get in touch with the biosecurity officer from your local area for alternate arrangements.

All baits must be ordered a minimum of 3 days prior to the collection date.
