Sharp T (2012) NATSOP-RAB001 National Standard Operating Procedure: Ground baiting of rabbits with sodium fluoroacetate (1080)

Resource synopsis:

Poisoning with sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) is one of the most effective methods of quickly reducing rabbit numbers and is usually performed prior to harbour destruction and warren fumigation.

This page discusses how poisoning with 1080 is used to minimise the impact of the introduced European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) on agricultural production and the environment.
