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.

Toadpole baits work

It's amazing, putting the trap with the bait inside send the toadpoles into a frenzy, they line up to get into the trap once the flume starts to take efffct

Didn’t work

I used the bait in a yabbie pot with funnels. I caught nothing The grandkids used butterfly nets and caught around 40 of them.

Hi KD, thanks for your feedback! The lures are not designed to be used in a yabbie pot, which is why they didn't help you catch tadpoles this time around. When placed in our Cane Toad Tadpole Traps, the lures will slow release into the water and out through the funnels, creating a scent plume that the tadpoles follow in. As the yabbie pot has mesh walls, the lure would create a 'cloud' of active ingredient and have no direction for the tadpoles to follow in. Hope this helps for your next try!

Easy and works!

I have two ornamental garden ponds and after noticing 2 dreaded cane toads, I saw the fruit of their union… the TADPOLES.. .
I have been using the trap and lure for a few hours each day over the last week and have caught many tadpoles. Some had arms today, so I feel like I got the trap just in time! I am still on my first lure.
I hope the word gets out there for these and the traps are more readily available, and more people use them. It’s easier getting rid of these pests as tadpoles than as adults.
Wonderful product and allows me to be proactive in controlling an invasive species.

Works extreemly Well

I used the lures in yabby traps and caught 47 tadpoles on the first day. Only another 4 over night then another 40 odd with fresh lures the next day.

Great product

The lures and trap work extremely well. Follow the instructions and you're on to a winner. I agree with the comment regarding deploying the trap as soon as you see tadpoles for maximum success
