NOTICE: PEST CONTROL OPERATION: KAINGAROA FOREST.
Epro Limited has been contracted by Timberlands to undertake possum, rabbit and hare control programme over the Kaingaroa Forests. This operation is being undertaken to protect newly established pine plantations.
In accordance with the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017, Epro wishes to notify you of our intention to apply sodium fluoroacetate (1080) carrot bait by helicopter and pindone carrot bait by drone, followed by ground applied encapsulated potassium cyanide (Feratox) and hand broadcast pindone and 1080 carrot bait.
This operation will be carried out in two phases. In relation to the 1080 operation initially non-toxin prefeed bait will be applied. This will be followed five to ten days later by an application of toxic bait. For the pindone application, this involves two toxin applications of pindone carrot. In both treatments, the bait will consist of carrot bait. Prefeed baits are undeyed and orange in colour, whereas all 1080 and pindone baits are dyed green.
This operation will commence prior to the beginning of the annual new plantation establishment programme on or after 12 May 2025, then be worked progressively through the year until about September 2025, as weather and operational constraints allow.
Epro staff are working with affected landowners surrounding the forest to discuss the operation and confirm specific timings.
We will keep landowners updated throughout this process, and additionally there will be further notifications prior to each aerial 1080 and aerial pindone application.

Operation Detail
Toxin warning signs will be placed at all normal points of entry to the operation prior to toxic bait being applied. The carcasses of 1080 poisoned animals pose a significant risk to dogs for several months after the operation, note the blue and purple areas on the attached map. Toxin warning signs will remain in place until this risk has passed.
This information has been provided to you as an identified landowner, land occupier, stakeholder, affected party or user of the affected land. Please inform any associates, members or staff who may also use this area. The intention of this notice is also to protect young children who may be unable to understand warning notices and risk contact with controlled pesticides.
Should you require further information or require clarity on specific parts of this annual programme, please use the contact details below.
