Pest Animal Control — Lockyer Valley
Intensive cropping, mixed farming and rural residential across the Lockyer
The Lockyer Valley — centred on Gatton and extending across one of Queensland’s most intensive vegetable and cropping regions — faces a unique set of pest animal challenges. Feral pigs cause crop damage in irrigated vegetable production; foxes and rabbits target poultry, small livestock and revegetation plantings; and the range country to the north provides a constant population reservoir pushing animals onto productive farmland.
Pest Species in This Region
Feral Pigs
Crop damage in the Lockyer Valley can be severe — a single pig mob moving through irrigated vegetables overnight can cause devastating losses. Night thermal control is effective at protecting cropping areas during vulnerable crop stages.
Feral pig control →Foxes
Widely present across the Lockyer. A significant concern for poultry and small livestock operations, and a restricted invasive animal requiring active management under the Queensland Biosecurity Act.
Fox control →Rabbits
Rabbit pressure on pasture and cropping land is a persistent challenge in parts of the Lockyer Valley. Night thermal shooting combined with warren destruction programs provides the most effective sustained reduction.
