Wild Dog & Pig Control — Gympie Region
Cattle, timber and mixed rural properties across the Mary River country
The Gympie region — covering the Mary River catchment and the timber and cattle country stretching from Imbil to Widgee and Woolooga — is significant pig and wild dog country. Extensive plantation timber, state forest and national park create large areas of ideal pig habitat, and the interface between this forested land and productive cattle operations creates ongoing management challenges. Wild dog activity, historically a concern in the Gympie uplands, remains a pressure on livestock operations in this area.
Pest Species in This Region
Feral Pigs
The timber and state forest country surrounding Gympie supports large pig populations. Cattle properties along creek flats and in the valleys experience significant rooting damage, pasture competition and infrastructure damage. Regular, coordinated control is needed given the scale of the forested reservoir country.
Feral pig control →Wild Dogs
Wild dog activity is a documented issue in parts of the Gympie hinterland, where livestock predation on cattle and smaller property types is reported. Thermal operations on open grazing country can effectively identify travel corridors and target individuals causing livestock losses.

Gympie and surrounds fall within our Zone A service area. We’re regularly active in this region and can discuss multi-property coordination for landholders facing pressure from adjacent state forest or neighbouring properties with unmanaged pig populations.
