Humane, effective Cane Toad control is here!
Break the breeding cycle of Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) by trapping hundreds of tadpoles at a time. Our world first technology targets Cane Toads in their vulnerable tadpole phase, before they grow up to cause damage.
Use in toad breeding waterways - perfect for dams, streams and ponds.
How does it work?
Cane Toad tadpoles in Australia have evolved to cannibalise other Cane Toad eggs. The active ingredient in the lure is the same pheromone that attracts the tadpoles to the eggs! When placed in the trap, the lure creates a 'scent plume' through the water that Cane Toad tadpoles will follow into the trap, making them easy to remove and euthanise.
The lure is an environmentally friendly, humane solution. The lure is only attractive to cane toad tadpoles and has no impact on waterway health or native frog species.
These work a treat.
In October 2024, we bought a trap with 5 lures & the handbook.
We also received a second bag of 5 lures in the pack.
The first bag of lures worked awesome, we could see the toad tadpoles swimming towards the trap. We got literally 1000’s out of our dam.
The second bag was a complete “dud”, we watched the toad tadpoles swim casually past the trap.
Hopefully someone from Watergum will contact us as there is no email contact on their website.
We are keen to keep buying the lures, helping our local frog populations but at $23.10 for 5 lures its a but steep if they are duds & don't work.
I will complete another review if I hear from Watergum and let everyone know their response.
Hi Karina,
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear that the first packet of lures worked well for you and assisted in the removal of thousands of cane toad tadpoles. We are very sorry to hear that you did not experience similar results with your second packet and find this strange given that the two packets would have been from the same batch of lures. We would like to help you get to the bottom of this and improve your trapping results - please email us at canetoads@watergum.org where we can provide further information and assistance.
These are The only tadpoles I have caught. They are not black but I have caught quite a few in the last couple of attempts I didn’t think frogs would be attracted to the lure, but could you please confirm whether they are frogs or toads
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review and query, please email canetoads@watergum.org where we will be able to provide further assistance with this matter.
Best regards,
Watergum Cane Toad Team
Have trapped about 100 tadpole from our small dam
Thank you very much, we have caught 000's of Cane Toad tadpole with the new lures. Stopped trapping now as our dam is now a lake, flowing over both spillways down in culverts under Dioth Street. Please see www.facebook.com/yarramancreek4614 We continue to catch adult Cane Toads and will resume CT tadpole trapping when the rain stops and the dam/lake level stabilizers
