1080 and Pindone course

Livestock Health and Pest Authorities are running a short training course which will allow landholders to use 1080 and Pindone baits on their properties.

Funded and approved by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW), the three-hour course will give landholders a clear understanding of 1080 and Pindone use and their legal obligations.

The AQF chemical application courses remain a requirement for use of any other pesticide.

The training courses are delivered by LHPA rangers and cover topics such as baiting techniques, toxicity, storage, transport, legislation and OH&S. Those completing the course will be issued a certification card and will remain accredited to use 1080 and Pindone for five years.

A fee of around $45 per person will be charged for the course.

Any landholder interested in attending the 1080 and Pindone training course should contact their local LHPA office for details of when and where courses are being held.
