WA Virmin Management

Landholders may be seeing more foxes around as young independent kits leave the dens to find their own territories.

This is the perfect time for control as younger foxes are less suspicious and experienced.

Landholders within the PHBG operational area can loan equipment at no charge from the PHBG to assist in the control and management of foxes.

Interested? take a look at the Equipment Services page on the PHBG website and fill in the EOI form. The PHBG Equipment Officer will be in touch to discuss options.

Did you know that foxes can eat fruits and vegetables?

Early autumn sees young foxes leaving the den and travelling across the land to find their own territory. Relatively inexperienced hunters, they now need to hunt for their own food.

Keep an eye out around the veggie patch for footprints!
This is also a reminder for us all to be vigilant with locking up the chook yard to keep our egg-laying friends safe.

PHBG Field Officer Kim is on the road today delivering fox cage traps to landholders to two properties in the Shire of Murray. Young foxes generally haven't encountered a fox trap before, and a seasonal opportunity exists now to trap a naive young fox.

If you know or suspect that foxes are moving across your property, now is a great time to request a loan of a fox cage trap by visiting https://www.phbg.org/equipment-services.

As with all PHBG equipment, fox cage traps are delivered to and collected from properties within the Peel-Harvey region at no cost, with a friendly smile.

One that just didn't make it to the fence on time..

Was happy to be apart of the effort to save stock and a LOT of native animals..

Working with DCBA and the assistance of WA Police again tonight with the euthanasia of an injured kangaroo. Our job often takes us close to dwellings and roads so the shot has to be 100% every time. Public safety is paramount.. every shot every time..

Another 2 from a property that has horses... these 2 stiring the horses up at night and eating feed... along with leaving holes in the paddock... problem solved..
Just send us a mesage and we'll help with the problem..

Important to be working with trail cameras to establish movement and feeding patterns.. HCC can then determine the best method for removal..

Safe and effective use and management of 1080 course completed..
Along with some great networking opportunities with local farmers, picking up a number of properties to shoot on and help reduce numbers prior to baiting..
