Feral animals and other pests
The Brisbane area suffers from quite a few introduced and native pest species. Particularly problematic in our catchment are:
- Feral Deer
- Foxes
- Cane Toads
- Wild dogs
- Feral Cats
- Non-native fish – Tilapia
Other species which may become a problem include:
- Red-Eared Slider Turtles
- Common Myna Birds
And of course our old friends mosquitos, midges, ticks, and pest ants (particularly fire ants).
The Brisbane City Council provides detailed information on feral pests and what to do about them on its web page here.
