Need to get local councils on board and set these traps up in all waterways, especially on the Gold Coast.

These two blokes have my dream vege garden.

Looks great 🎉. My small garden has been invaded by grass hoppers 😢

Fantastic coverage! Perfect way too consume.

this is absolutely brilliant, what a great contraption

Better not accidentally eat them from the fridge.

brillant

What type of fertilizer do you use. I have been using bananas and molasses’s

I have the Watergum bucket and lures and the system works brilliantly! I have caught and removed 1000s of cane toads from ornamental ponds. It’s super-rewarding to remove them from my garden by the hundreds. I hope major retailers like Bunnings and Garden Centres start stocking them so they are easier for everyone to find and start using.

Very cool!

Love ya work 💚

The qld government should be supplying these to every household for free and supply the lures ongoing for free aswell

I donated to UQ to do some of this trialing years ago. I'm glad it's finally getting a video about it. Sounds like a perfect toad trap.

Great work ❤

Hi jerry . I'm in Sydney & I have a difficult location (poor soil +afternoon sun) that I want to plant either a grevilia or banksia, what do you recommend? ( or are they very similar in their growth requirements)

Ron and Margaret look beautiful for their age. Their succulent garden is absolutely stunning.

Great video and the young lady is an excellent ambassador for their cause. Citizen science. How good. They could have fishing competitions using these traps. See who can catch the most!

Fantastic

I hunt them every night and have got the numbers down comparedto last season woohoo! 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️

I got sprayed the other week , disgusting. What are they attracted to , there gross can't handle catching them .

The tadpoles also make the water they live in toxic to native amphibians. I found a big pothole in the rock at a local creek where there were tens of thousands of toad eggs. There was also two gorgeous native frog tadpoles that were well developed with all legs but still with their tail that had died. They looked healthy otherwise so I’m surmising that they died because of toad toxin in the pothole. I’m not sure if the toxin came from the eggs or the toads that laid them, but either way it was enough to kill the native frogs and probably anything else that swims in or drinks from the pothole. My daughter and I made sure to remove all the eggs and let them desiccate on the rocks.

They are attracted to bright light. Maybe for the insects it attracts.

Sue the QLD Gov. for being thick, again.

I am glad to see someone is doing something about the toads. Seems like a great idea too.

yes cane toads are potentially the most worse for the environment for australia however, fire ants are statistically worse

Releasing a chemical into the water supply. Yeah that always goes so well.

and no link to buy one? gardening australia is right behind this, yeh right

Where can you buy the traps?

If we had used the CSIRO's..." daughterless carp ". technology we would not have a cane toad in the country. It's still doable we just need a government with the will to do it.

Has the government, both state and federal been hit up to fund this?

I'm not sure this is such a great idea. You're going to select for cane toads that don't eat can toad eggs. That will lead to a whole lot more eggs hatching, which will in turn lead to more cane toads in subsequent generations (higher egg viability)?

I’ve dispatched about 100 Caines with my Indian myna trap. Haven’t caught any mynas yet😂

This is going to have a huge impact.

I love simple solutions and cute dimples lol

I wonder- would live cane toad tadpoles be good fish food for aquaculture farming? If you are going to catch them you may as well make good use of them.

Not sure if this is common but crows in our area now eat toads. They turn them over and eat them from the underside.

Brilliant. I am going to need Nicky to come and help me set my traps...he he he

Government can fine us we’re is there accountability when they make these deals over a handshake at a pub lunch?

Yippie finally. How can I have a bucket?

All done! I’m a toad catcher and this is a great one to try out

I found cane toad 'toadpoles' tend to follow each other like a conga line un my local park water ways, were as the natives then to be solitary and move by themselves. (And toads are so much darker to)

Where can I get a trap and bait?

Whoooo! GA finally moving with the world. From watching young Melissa king in early 90's to streaming and kept media today. Nice.

Wow what a great idea 🇳🇿👍

Multiculturalism for the animals. Stop being so speciesist!

Gene drive.

Don't see a link anywhere so do a Google search for "watergum toad trap". It was my first result

Aussies haven't learned a thing since the toads.

Simplicity! I love it. Invasive control everywhere needs this.

This is fantastic ! Thank you to all involved in this great initiative!
