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.
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
Many more people would be able to help eradicate this pest, if the cost of the plastic bucket was reasonably priced
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
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!
