South Burnett Regional Council will be conducting another wild dog baiting program next month in conjunction with Biosecurity Queensland.
A Council spokesman said failure to control wild dogs can result in livestock losses, attacks on domestic pets and the loss of native fauna.
Landholders have a legislative responsibility to control declared pests on their land and participation in this program is an effective way to help meet this responsibility.
Baiting stations will be held throughout the South Burnett from May 19-23.
For further information and to register to attend a baiting station, contact Council’s Stock Route and Pest Officer Kerry Hayes on (07) 4189-9312.
All participants must register their intention to conduct baiting no later than Friday, May 9.
