Australian Environmental Vertebrate Pest Management Services (AEVPMS) delivers ethical, compliant, and effective vertebrate pest control solutions for landfills, transfer stations, and waste collection sites across New South Wales & the ACT. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies help operators meet regulatory obligations, protect public health, and maintain operational efficiency.
Why Vertebrate Pest Control Matters for Waste Facilities
Landfill and waste collection sites are prime attractants for invasive vertebrate pests due to the constant availability of food and shelter. Common pest species include:
-
Feral pigs and goats causing damage to infrastructure and spreading disease
-
Feral cats and foxes preying on native wildlife and transmitting zoonotic diseases
-
Feral dogs posing safety risks to staff and visitors
-
Rabbits and deer undermining soil stability and damaging vegetation
-
Invasive birds such as pigeons and mynas contaminating waste and equipment
These pests can lead to:
-
Health hazards through disease transmission and contamination
-
Operational disruptions due to equipment damage and safety incidents
-
Environmental degradation is affecting the surrounding ecosystems
-
Regulatory non-compliance under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015
Regulatory Responsibilities
Waste facility operators have a General Biosecurity Duty to prevent, eliminate, or minimise biosecurity risks associated with vertebrate pests. Failure to manage these risks can result in enforcement actions and penalties.
Operators must comply with environmental protection regulations to prevent pollution and protect native species. Implementing proactive pest management is essential to meet these obligations.
