Trapping & baiting
Humane, compliant trapping and baiting with monitored outcomes and documented results across each program cycle.
Shooting brings numbers down fast. Trapping and baiting is what keeps them down between visits, and for some species and some country it is the more effective method outright.
On Point holds AQF3 Chemical Application for compliant baiting and chemical use. Baiting is a regulated activity and it is treated as one.
Where trapping earns its place
Trapping suits situations where shooting is constrained or inefficient: close to dwellings and public boundaries, in heavy cover where a shot is not available, and with species that will not present cleanly.
It also works on a different clock. Traps keep working while nobody is on the property, which is what makes them useful for sustained pressure rather than a single knock-down.
Compliant baiting
Baiting programs are run under AQF3 Chemical Application accreditation, with placement, monitoring and outcomes documented across each cycle. Compliance is not an afterthought here: chemical use is exactly the part of a control program most likely to be audited.
Monitored, not set and forgotten
The failure mode with trapping and baiting is neglect. Traps that are not checked are an animal welfare problem, and bait that is not monitored tells you nothing about whether it worked.
Outcomes are monitored and documented through each program cycle, which is what produces the record at the end rather than a guess about what happened.
As part of a program
A thermal survey tells us where traps and bait stations should go rather than where they are convenient. Ground shooting handles the initial knock-down, and trapping holds the line afterwards. Together that is what a control program looks like.
FAQ
Common questions
Are you accredited for baiting?
Yes. On Point holds AQF3 Chemical Application, which covers compliant baiting and chemical use. Baiting is a regulated activity and the accreditation is what makes it lawful.
Is trapping humane?
It has to be, and that depends entirely on how the program is run. Traps are monitored across the program cycle rather than set and left, and outcomes are documented.
Can you trap near houses or public boundaries?
That is often exactly where trapping is the right method, because shooting is constrained. Access, risk and boundaries are assessed before a program is planned.
Do I get a record of what happened?
Yes. Outcomes are monitored and documented across each program cycle and reported with GIS-ready outputs and chain-of-custody documentation.
