General Instructions: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All 1080 storage and bait preparation areas should contain suitable storage wash-down and waste disposal facilities. Adequate space must also be provided for bait cutting and mixing machines, and packaging and storage of 1080 baits awaiting laying. 1080 storage and bait preparation areas must be securely locked. Appropriate safety equipment, (see safety directions below) must be worn while preparing 1080 baits.

Note: It is compulsory in NSW to use the Blue PAKS 1080 Concentrate in the preparation of all 1080 baits unless baits are to be laid in habitats occupied by the Satin Bower Bird. In these situations, the baits are to be prepared using the green PAKS 1080 Concentrate.


BAIT PREPARATION
ACT & NSW
Feral pig and rabbit baits are to be prepared in a bait mixer that is not used for any other purpose. Fox and wild dog baits must be injected with a calibrated vaccination gun or equivalent.

Feral pig baits: Grain and pellet baits can be prepared by adding the required amount (Refer table A) of PAKS 1080 Concentrate per kg of substrate to give a concentration of between 300 and 480 mg 1080 per kg of bait.

Fox baits: Prepare using the following bait substrates: fowl heads; chicken wingettes, boneless red meat, offal (tongue, kidney, liver) and fowl eggs. Boneless red meat and offal are to weigh approximately 100 g. Inject into the centre of fox baits a dose of 0.l mL to give a concentration of 3 mg 1080 per bait.

For preparation of egg baits inject 0.l mL of concentrate into the centre of an egg which is clearly marked in permanent red pen with the words "1080 POISON", seal the injection hole with a small amount of hot wax. Keep eggs inside an egg carton that is dyed, sprayed or painted red and labelled "1080 POISON", the carton is to be placed inside the appropriately labelled plastic bag at all times.

Wild dog baits: Prepare using boneless red meat or offal (tongue, kidney, liver). All baits are to weigh 250 g. Inject into the centre of each wild dog bait a dose of 0.2 mL to give a concentration of 6 mg 1080 per bait.

Rabbit baits: Oat substrate baits can be prepared by adding 12mL of PAKS 1080 Concentrate per kg of oats to give a concentration of 360 mg 1080 per kg of bait. Pelleted rabbit baits can be prepared by incorporating l5 mL of PAKS 1080 Concentrate per kg of pellets to give a concentration of 450 mg 1080 per kg of bait, and 6 mL should be applied per kg of carrots to give a concentration of 180 mg 1080 per kg of bait.


Northern Territory

MANAGEMENT OF PREPARED BAITS
The prepared bait must be placed directly into a sealable container of sufficient strength and impermeability to prevent leakage of its contents during handling and transport. The bait substance type, date of preparation and bait purpose (target pest) must be indicated.

BAIT LAYING
Wild dogs and foxes
Bait density Approximately one bait will be needed per 5-10 ha for foxes (10 ha for wild dogs). This application rate allows for fox and dog density of up to 4 per square kilometre. This application rate also allows for some baits not to be found and for some foxes and dogs to find more than one bait.

Placement of baits:
Distance restrictions: Baits must be placed at least 150 m from a dwelling; 20 m from a permanent or flowing water body; 5 m from boundary fences; and 5 m from the edge of formed public roadways; or as specified by State/Territory.

For ground baiting, unless placement is otherwise specified by State/Territory requirements, individual baits should be buried in holes of approximately 8-10 cm depth, at marked sites. The application of baits by air is subject to State/Territory approval. Foxes and dogs are readily able to find and excavate buried baits. Baits should be placed at intervals of approximately 250 m for foxes and at least 250 m for wild dogs, usually along internal fence lines or vehicle tracks. Foxes and wild dogs can find baits almost anywhere but placement of baits at the junctions of tracks or just off animal pads has proven effective.

Since only one bait is needed to kill a fox or a wild dog, uptake of several baits by the same animal should be avoided. Do not place baits too close to each other as several baits will be taken by a single fox. Place only one bait in each hole.

Bait replacement
Since the action of fluoroacetate is delayed, the fox or wild dog remains normal for several hours after taking a bait. During this time animals may search for additional baits and return to cover. Carcasses are seldom found near bait stations.

Note: Foxes and Wild dogs often mark sites of baits by urinating and defecating at the bait station. For effective control, it is necessary to replace baits several times, as other foxes or dogs may visit the same station. Check regularly and replace baits at sites where there is evidence of bait take. Baits in undisturbed sites should be removed after 7 days.

For effective control, it is necessary to conduct a 3-4 week program. Check regularly (at least twice per week) and replace baits at sites where there is evidence of take. Replacement of baits should continue until take stops. This often shows that the true predator problem is greater than anticipated. Fox density may exceed 8 foxes/km2 in some areas.

A SINGLE ROUND OF BAIT PLACEMENT WILL GENERALLY NOT CONTROL TO ALL FOXES OR WILD DOGS IN AN AREA. MULTIPLE BAIT REPLACEMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO REDUCE FOX AND WILD DOG NUMBERS.

Rabbits
1080 Oat Bait may only be trailed in furrows to control rabbits. Poisoned oat baits are not suitable for aerial or broadcast applications. The use of 1080 oat baits for rabbit control is restricted in urban and some wildlife areas.

A person laying 1080 oat bait by trail baiting must take reasonable steps to ensure that the bait is placed in or adjacent to furrows that are not more than 10 centimetres deep and not more than 20 centimetres wide.

Before applying 1080 oat bait it is required that at least two (preferably 3) un-poisoned free feeds are offered in the baiting area at intervals of at least 3 days. This allows rabbits to become accustomed to eating oats and helps the user to correctly estimate the required quantities of bait. Typical free feed applications rates are 2-35 kg/km of trail.

The amount of poisoned 1080 rabbit bait required per kilometre of trail will vary depending on local rabbit density and the amount of free feeding.

Feral pigs
Placement of baits
Baits may only be used in bait stations and must not be used in trails. A bait station is a fenced enclosure (usually 20 x 50 m) to exclude livestock but to allow pigs to push underneath and contains a shallow hole to hold baits.

For Queensland only; a bait station is a fenced enclosure or feeding station which excludes livestock and wildlife but allows feral pigs to access the bait station.

Bait replacement
Baits must not be used for more than 3 consecutive days. Any bait still left in the bait station must then be collected and buried as per the disposal instructions. If necessary, free feeding may be recommended to determine if any pigs remain.

Pre-Feeding
Baiting programs will be most successful when pre-feeding occurs. It is recommended that pre-feeding is conducted to draw feral pigs to a baiting site. Quantity of poisoned baits required depends on local assessment of pig numbers.

MINIMUM DISTANCE & NOTIFICATION REQUIRMENTS
Neighbour Notification:
Neighbours must be notified to allow them to take appropriate action. The notification must advise that steps (e.g. restraint, muzzling) need to be taken to ensure that domestic dogs do not gain access to 1080 baits or poisoned animals. The notification must specify the dates between which baits will occur. This notification should be in writing and should be given to all adjoining landholders at least 72 hours in advance except where alternative communication arrangements have been made that meet State/Territory requirements and overall safety Criteria.

A record of the notification must be kept.

Baiting must commence within 10 days of notification or else another three days notice of intent to lay baits is required.

Signage:
Signage is compulsory for all lands where baiting occurs. DO NOT lay bait until signage is in place.
Users must ensure that signs are put up immediately before 1080 poisoning operations commence on the property, placed according to requirements specified in the relevant State/Territory.
Signage must include the following: date baits laid, contact telephone number, toxin name, target animal(s) and a warning that domestic animals and pets can be affected.
Signs must be maintained for at least 4 weeks after the authorised period of bait lay has expired or after all untaken baits have been collected.

Distance restrictions:
Baits must be placed at least 150 m from a dwelling; 20 m from a permanent or flowing water bodies; 5 m from boundary fences; and 5 m from the edge of formed public roadways; or as specified by State/Territory

 

Resistance Warning:  

 

Precautions: PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT apply baits to, or in, crops which are in mid to late developmental stages.
DO NOT apply baits to, or in, crops if contamination of produce is likely to occur.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION OF BAITS:
Only authorized personnel can have access to the baits. Baits must be transported and stored in such a way that unauthorized personnel cannot have access to baits.
Unless approved by the relevant State/Territory authority, users must not store baits after a baiting campaign is complete. DO NOT store the bait in a position accessible to children, livestock or domestic pets.

The pesticide is only to be kept or stored in the container, and bearing the label, as supplied by the manufacturer.

DO NOT allow baits to contaminate feedstuffs, or feed, for human or non-target animal consumption.

Containers which have held product are not to be used for any other purpose and must be disposed of by deep burial as described below in the Storage and Disposal instructions.

Protection of domestic and farm dogs:
Steps (e.g. restraint, muzzling) need to be taken to ensure that domestic dogs do not gain access to 1080 baits or poisoned animals.
DO NOT handle where there is a risk of contaminating food, drinking water or animal feed.
DO NOT apply concentrate or baits to crops

 

Protections: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT:
DO NOT contaminate dams, streams, rivers, waterways or drains with chemical or used containers. Information on non-target animal distribution, conservation status, habitat preference, diet, tolerance to 1080, body weight and size of home range can be used to reduce poisoning risks posed by baiting programs. Time baiting programs when non-target species are least active or least susceptible. This product may be toxic to some marsupial carnivores. Where appropriate, potential risks should be reduced, by correct bait placement, selection of minimum effective rate, and avoidance of baiting during the main breeding season.
This product may be toxic to some birds and other native wildlife. Baits should not be laid at times when, or in locations where, birds or other non-target wildlife are likely to be harmed by them. In Tasmania, avoid baiting in areas likely to contain isolated populations of betongs or potoroos.
Bait placement and/or bait station design should be such that non-target access is minimized. Ground baiting for pigs should be such that non-target access is minimized. Ground baiting for pigs should always be preceded by free feeding to minimize bait uptake. Toxic baits must be distributed at carefully selected sites away from concentrations of nontarget species such as marine mammals and seal colonies.
Bait and Carcass Recovery: Untaken baits should be removed after 7 days (or as per relevant State/Territory baiting program requirements). To the extent possible, untaken baits should be recovered at the end of a baiting campaign and be destroyed by burning or burial according to the requirements of the State or Territory in which the use has occurred. To the extent possible, animal carcasses should be recovered during and for 14 days after a baiting campaign and be destroyed by burning or burial according to the requirements of the State or Territory in which the use has occurred. Any incidents where it is suspected that non-target animals may have been poisoned by 1080 should be notified to State authorities

 

Storage and Disposal: Safe storage is the responsibility of all persons who are supplied with this poison. The product must be stored in the closed original labelled container in a dry, cool well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Store in a locked room or place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilizers at all times, except when required for use. Transport only in original container and ensure packaging is secure before handling (Wear elbow length PVC gloves when handling sealed container). Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of any undiluted chemical according to state/territory legislative requirements. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product.

 

Safety Directions: Very dangerous. Poisonous if swallowed. Harmful if absorbed by skin contact. When opening the container and using the product wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length rubber gloves. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. If clothing becomes contaminated with product, remove clothing immediately. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day's use, wash gloves and contaminated clothing.
