We plan to distribute toxic bait pellets containing 1080 by helicopter on two days between mid-April and late May, depending on the weather.

Once the bait has been distributed, it's not safe to hunt for food or have your dog in this area for up to 8 months. Warning signs and this web alert will be removed once the area is safe again.

1080 is deadly to dogs. How to keep dogs safe around 1080.

This operation is part of DOC's National Predator Control Programme to protect native species.
