Sodium fluororacetate
Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) is a vertebrate poison used for the control of feral animals including rabbits, foxes, wild dogs, pigs, and in limited situations, native animals. Its use in controlling feral animals plays an important role in protection of Australian native animal species.
Sodium fluoroacetate is in Schedule 7 of the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons (SUSDP) and is a Restricted Chemical Product (RCP). It is only available to specialised or authorised suppliers/users who are trained to handle it safely.
Sodium fluoroacetate review
Status: review completed
In July 2002 the APVMA began a review of sodium fluoroacetate because of concerns about poisoning of non-target animals, and concerns about whether product labels contained adequate safety instructions and warnings.
In January 2008 the APVMA released the Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) Final Review Report and Regulatory Decision document. The review added several new instructions to the container labels to better protect the environment and non-target aimals. The review also reduced the bait rate to 10/km transect for aerial baiting of wild dogs.
