New feral pig bait delivery device entered for award

With feral pig numbers exploding across the country, the specific bait delivery device called PIGBAITTA is an entry in the Henty Machine of the Year Award.

It has been entered by Got A Bug Group, a family-run, environmentally friendly pest control service catering for a complete range of pest issues.

Got A Bug has the skills and experience to project manage large pest projects across Australia, supplying experienced personnel and equipment.

Pest control specialist Barry Kelly has spent the last 15 years being involved in award winning feral pig projects. 

It was whilst conducting these projects and six years of research and trials that led to the development and production in Australia of the PIGBAITTA.

PIGBAITTA is a feral pig specific bait delivery device that can be used with either 1080 or sodium nitrite baits.

The PIGBAITTA holds up to 250kg of free feed, with an in-built baiting system and is designed to be non-invasive specifically crafted to target feral pigs.

PIGBAITTA is the only feral pig specific bait delivery device available engineered and manufactured in Australia with Australian steel, and fully galvanised with a 10 year structural warranty.

“Requiring fewer site visits, PIGBAITTA reduces disturbance to the area, human scent and decreases safety risks to staff,” Mr Kelly said. 

“Data can be sent back to the office computer via grain volume sensors linked to satellite providers so you know when to bait without visiting the site.

“PIGBAITTA can be lifted into isolated areas fully loaded with the optional sling specifically designed for use with a helicopter.

“The design is the result of six years of research and trials throughout Australia, and we believe this device will be a game changer in the control of feral pigs on a broader scale.”
