Wild Dog Control WA

---

For many years, Fox ‘n Feral has been helping landholders with all kinds of pest and feral animal problems. That includes offering legal and effective options to manage wild dog numbers to protect livestock. Under the 2007 BAM Act, wild dogs are classed as pests. That means you are legally required to find someone to manage and reduce their numbers, using methods that are compliant and humane.  Wild dog control WA include baiting, trapping, fencing, guardian dogs and controlled shooting. The latter option is what we offer. As well as reaching out to us, you can also report sightings on the WildDogScan App and reach out to local or regional groups.

Understanding Wild Dogs

The term wild dogs covers a range of different wild living canines, including hybrids and dingos. For many years, wild dogs have been an issue for landowners and farmers. They kill livestock and cause serious financial loss. Despite farmers shooting them and animal control methods being in place, they continue to be a nightmare to many farmers. Some farmers have been operating at a loss for many years. Others have lost their business and had to move out of their community. 

It is thought that the wild dogs descend from Asian domesticated dogs. While in Victoria, the dingo is listed as a threatened and therefore protected species, elsewhere, they are deemed to be pests that need to be culled. If you head anywhere in the country where there is a lot of land and not much pastoral farming, they are free to roam. They are highly adaptable and completely adjusted to the harsh environment.

1. How much does professional pest control cost in Western Australia?

Costs vary according to property size, location, travel requirements, and the level of wild dog activity present.

2. How can I tell if wild dogs are attacking livestock?

Common signs include livestock injuries, missing animals, bite wounds, disturbed paddocks, and tracks around watering points and fence lines.

3. Is shooting effective for wild dog control?

Yes. Professional shooting can be highly effective when combined with broader control measures such as baiting programs and local biosecurity initiatives.

4. Do wild dogs only attack sheep?

No. Wild dogs can impact sheep, goats, calves, and other livestock, causing both direct losses and stress-related production issues.

5. Can wild dog control be coordinated with neighbouring properties?

Yes. Coordinated regional programs often achieve better long-term results than isolated control efforts.
