Otago Regional Council will be carrying out a poison operation on land adjacent to Four Mile Road, Hyde on properties of Kinney, Vanderlay, Hurring and O’Neill. Carrot bait containing Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) will be applied by helicopter and quad bike.

There will be a toxic application between 28th of July and the 4th of August 2015 (dependent on weather conditions).

Warning signs will be erected at all public access points to the treated area.

The public should note the following points:
DO NOT enter this area without permission.
DO NOT handle or remove carcasses, or baits.
DO NOT allow children to wander unsupervised in this area.
DO NOT allow dogs or pets to roam into the operational area as poisoned carcasses can be deadly to dogs.
Treat all carcasses as toxic.

Signs will remain in place until the area is safe. Please treat the area with caution until then.
