Safety and proper use of DOGABAIT®
Protect your working dogs when baiting
Keep working and pet dogs well away from baits. Restrict them in pens or on chains if known to wander, and use muzzles if dogs are to be used in baited areas.
Leave working dogs at home when laying or checking baits.
Availability and approvals for use
DOGABAIT® PAPP baits for wild dogs have been approved by APVMA. Legal instructions and restrictions for use are found on the approved product labels and must be followed. In addition, some constraints differ between States, so local instructions must also be followed.
Approved labels and MSDS sheets are available on the ACTA web site: (http://www.animalcontrol.com.au/MSDS.htm).
Due the imposition of RESTRICTED S7 by the National Drugs & Poisons Scheduling Committee (NDPSC), only approved users can access PAPP bait products. Approvals and some constraints may differ between States, so local instructions must also be followed.
