Other planned events: Notice of use of Hoggone meSN Feral Pig Bait

Due to a large number of feral pigs causing impacts the Reserve, and to meet NPWS's General Biosecurity Duty, (GBD), under the Biosecurity Act, NPWS will be using Hoggone to control feral pigs.

NPWS pesticides trained staff will be using a new control product to lessen the impacts caused by feral pigs in Mount Grenfell Historic Site, National Park & State Conservation Area.

HOGGONE will be used on these reserves, and the product is a peanut based product with Sodium nitrite as the poison.
