Wildlife Screening Trap

No need for 1080 pesticide, Trap system to screen critical and endangered wildlife from true vertibrate pest species

The principle of this system can be applied to pigs and foxes more simply because the center space does no require kenneling only the various smell draw bait, and by using non poisonous bait of vegetation or standard prey that could be commonly present locally. For foxes, live chooks could simply be kept centrally. Carrying the standard compound mesh would require a bearing roller spindle and wide base.
The sides would be required to be 3 meters high, but for Dingos and Foxes it requires the frame 3 meters high but the outer mesh heights to be 4 meters so they can be flopped inward to 45 degrees and fastened at the meeting corners to prevent proper climbing and jumping clearance. The inner compound section for these would simply be covered.

Carrying the station equipment into the area would require four wheel drive tractoors and balast steadied trailers. Human living quarters should also be present at any mobile field station and the proper handling and protection equipment also supplied "to all personnel, 'each', 'present' " for animal handling and protection and that thereof any other dangerous types not targeted by the placements purpose e.g. snakes and pigs.
To erect the fence mesh spindle upright will require a jib like crane arm so too for the pole uprights at the corners unless each sides rectange frame is pre made and safe enough to carry in a specially slotted trailer, or slid off the trailer upright or not taken off the trailer and unrolled while driving around the perimeter.
The sides each, should be pre cut and ended ready not cut from the roll.

This type of station could be produced to eradicate foxes totally or to the level they can legally be kept as pets by as much as neighboring farmers with the requirement of a non-slip chain collar held around the neck by a compressed-bend-joiner link(i thought i'd mention this because when you install one on your dog particularly work dogs, do not forget to use a small file on that link to remove tiny sharp burrs of metal and the sharp points at the links' ends. I've done that for a number of work dogs that strayed onto where i lived 2 decades previous). The same collar is recommended for Dingos from me, it saved the life of mine many times and brought it all the way down to a wandering canine that can be called over. The chain section should be chromed and there should be three or four dangling links below the compressed link, link size also should allow a standard dog-chain clip to fit through.Links should also be only around half the diameter of eight gauge wire.
Bated by the internal compound being an egg farm of sorts because its noisey and stinks should be extremely effective upon foxes.

However, stations permanently set to eradicate foxes or pigs should be operated by specialist NPWS canine handlers to ensure proper and effective legal treatment of possible pure Dingos occurs and they are taken for DNA purity assessment.

It is not clear to me why they do not use this system for foxes, but it is presumed funding and organisation relating human resources.
e.g. Let's suppose about the mobile station in human resource terms what would be required.
At least 4 personnel temporarily living at and assigned to the mobile station. This is a minimum number to safely commit all the required in field management activity and human and animal interaction safety.
1. Canid or specialist "species handler(not pest inpector)"(while this person probably would have a first aid certificate he's the main one in danger , and not counted).
2. One radio operator/computer operator with an accredited first aid certificate.
4. One pest species inpector with relation to in field work and the targeted species(perhaps has the other required accredited first aid certificate).
3. one semi-skilled laborer with arc welding, and compound fencing experience able to lift the maximum legal weight(perhaps has the other required accredited first aid certificate).Also crude outdoor plumbing experience with ballcock valve systems.

That's the minimum requirement.

Now lets take a look at a permanent station [note: not shown in the diagram below is that all sections availed to the trapped species requires a sun/wind/rain shelter and water reservior and auto valve system]
Noone should be allowed to "enter the station" unless there are 4 persons present(2 that are not the species handler(physical) must have an accredited first aid certificate),
1. NPWS officer
2. One primary industry pest control officer
3. Specialist pest handler(physical)
4. Any able bodied adult person(effectively) pre deemed part of the group to be there(almost on the spot goes into the paperwork).

Note: An interesting rule here, no person/persons allowed within 100 meters of a permanent trap station unless there are at least a socially connected(they know each and others legal identity) group of four able bodied adults present, whether the station is on public private or government land.
If that last set of points is existant, then approach to its boundary is acceptable but "entry is not acceptable except in emergency" for humane reasons of animal care(note: do not kill at the station and preferred, do not use a firearm). This set of rules must include farmers.

Now we can see that will cost money not simply the bare resources of special modularised trap construction.

Because of the problem Dingos now present, the mobile system is required, and its simply a special case.

To be rid of foxes the permanent station system is required and could be easily integrated to NPWS and local council systems.

One final major point or this cannot operate(mainly this is for foxes).

Never!!! kill or dispose of the carcase of any animal caught at a trap station, in, near/proximate , or with or at a local place having connection to the station.

Always truck them away to a vehicle transfer point to a well washed vehicle and probably to a site in town to be put down and taken to an incinerator.
