I’ve caught 384 cane toads just this year! 1 female can lay 70,000 eggs a year, so catching just 1 makes a huge impact on Australian native wildlife & ecosystems.
I tried HopStop for the first time & it worked! It’s meant to be a humane spray specifically designed to euthanise cane toads quickly & painlessly.
These invasive pests are a huge threat to Australian wildlife, which is why controlling their numbers is so important.
Here’s why cane toads are a major problem:
🐸There’s estimated to be 200 million cane toads now.
🐸 They’re spreading from QLD, into NT, WA & NSW (even found in North Sydney!)
🐸 Highly toxic – just one can kill pets or native animals that try to eat them.
🐸 Compete with native frogs for food and habitat, pushing them out.
🐸 No natural predators in Australia, so their population keeps growing.
🐸 Rapid breeders – a single female can lay up to 70,000 eggs per year, while native frogs only lay around 2,000.
Removing cane toads helps in protecting our ecosystem. If you’re in an affected area, check your local council guidelines & RSPCA on humane ways to catch & dispose of them.
