Pests

Pests and insects cause economic losses to agricultural production, pose an unacceptable risk of exotic disease, threaten the survival of native species, and cause environmental degradation.

Species currently declared pests in NSW include:

  • Wild rabbits;
  • Wild dogs;
  • Feral pigs;
  • European Red Foxes;
  • Feral Camels; and
  • Locusts (Australian Plague, Spur-Throated and Migratory species).

Under the Local Land Services Act 2013, all land managers in NSW have an obligation to control declared pest species on the land they own, occupy or manage.

For information or assistance in managing pests on your land, visit the Murray Local Land Services (LLS) website or call the Deniliquin LLS Office on (03) 5881 1055 from Monday to Friday during business hours.
