Impact cane toads through tadpole trapping and toad-busting!

Logan Rec Club

This short session will teach you everything you need to know about cane toads, tadpole trapping and more.Residents of the City of Logan who attend and have a dam/waterbody on their property may be eligible to join our citizen science trial to monitor how well the cane toad tadpole traps work.We want to introduce you to a revolutionary new method of cane toad control that uses the toad’s own toxins against them. Lures made from toxic cane toad glands tempt tadpoles into traps that can catch upwards of 4,000 in one go!In 1935, 102 cane toads were brought to Queensland in an attempt to control cane beetles which were decimating crops. The toads proved completely ineffective at controlling cane beetles but their enormous appetites and staggering breeding capabilities (females cane produce up to 70,000 eggs a year!) meant they quickly monopolised habitat and food resources to the detriment of native species. Cane toads are now well established in 4 states and their numbers exceed 2 billion.Cane toads present a serious threat to native species and to pets and it is important that we band together as a community and start impacting cane toads before they spread any further.Logan City Council has partnered with Watergum to play our part in reducing cane toad numbers and provide a safer environment for our native species. Watergum will be running the first Cane Toad info evening on Tuesday 16 November in Kingston.
