GVH wishes to advise all clients that the ACT Government is currently conducting rabbit control operations in Canberra via fumigation and bait-laying, which may pose a risk to pets in affected areas. The areas where rabbit control operations are taking place include Moncrieff, Mt Ainslie, Percival Hill and Duntroon Dairy. Percival Hill Nature Reserve is the area bounded by the Barton Highway, Gundaroo Drive, and Temperley Street in Nicholls, and the Gungahlin Pond.
Dogs should be walked on lead and prevented from consuming anything from the ground. We have posted an article on our website with more information surrounding the type of rabbit control operations taking place and the risks posed to pets (and note, rat and mouse baits pose the same risks to pets); please read and familiarise yourself with the content, and if at any stage you think your pet may be affected, seek a veterinary consultation as soon as possible.
