NSW Codes of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures for the effective and humane management of pest animals
These Codes of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures provide current information and guidance to government agencies, land managers and pest animal controllers involved in the control of pest animals in NSW. The aim is for control programs to be conducted in a way that reduces the negative impacts of pest animals using the most humane, target-specific, economic and effective techniques available.
The following list of standard operating procedures help ensure that vertebrate pests are controlled in a safe, humane and cost effective way.
