Reporting pest animals
Reporting pest animals enables us to:
- manage control programs
- make sure potential pests don't establish populations in South Australia.
Non-established pest animals
Reporting non-established (reportable) pest animals is essential to stop them from spreading in the wild. Take these steps:
- Take a photo of the animal and check it against the catalogue of pest animals in South Australia to help us identify it.
- Capture the animal if you can. Securely contain it and give it food and water.
- Whether you capture it or not, please report it to:
- Pest Alert Hotline: 1800 084 881
Established pest animals
Use Feral Scan to report established pest animals.
This is particularly important for wild dogs, to help us monitor pest control targets.
