How do you avoid them so you don't run over them? You don't!

[@duncanmcpherson6578]

Gawd who hasn't thought through pest control

[@vivrowe2763]

Another stupid idea brought in to Australia .

[@oOOOo33-q5q]

They're everywhere at this park I go to🤢

[@Imagineering100]

Boiling water is very effective.

[@normalisoverrated]

I've heard salt works well too.

[@barryfrench2534]

@@normalisoverratedSure does...and quickly

[@allisonjames2923]

And very cruel 😳

[@alsmith9853]

​@@allisonjames2923what do you recommend? They're a pest and toxic to wildlife

[@Jack-r2v9b]

Dettol in a spray bottle

[@AnthonyOMulligan-yv9cg]

And DECADES later.......

[@mariestreeting4213]

So, what happens to them now? Did they get collected?

[@grapsta]

No

[@Bennie32831]

So the human race can wipe out many animals and plants and bug's with extinction being the goal but we can't wipe out Cain toads and fire ants???????

[@graemewindley1614]

Like most things from overseas.

[@normalisoverrated]

TOP COMMENT! Similarly, NONE of these countries now being BRUTALISED on the streets by these invaders were NEVER given the option to vote on it!

[@adambailey8295]

Unfortunately all of them have human heads and bodies.

[@AnthonyOMulligan-yv9cg]

Everybody GOTTA go Cane Toad Golfing

" there breeding faster than rabbits !" " cane toads invading states of australia " " like a science fiction movie 🎬 🎞 " help the : little buggers want to " take over the world !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣

[@datwistyman]

Golf green/ turf rollers🤷

[@royroyson2655]

Is this for real?weve had these in bigger numbers than that for decades in the wide bay

[@mariamatusiewicz4280]

Egypt experienced the 10 plaques in Moses' time because Pharaoh didn't worship the True God of Israel.

[@allisonjames2923]

The 10 plaques huh? Were they gold, silver, marble or stone plaques? 🤔 Or do you mean “plagues” with a g? And there is no “true god” - not one that is known or named by man anyway 🙄

[@allisonjames2923]

I guess they’re breeding in response to the explosion of flies as well. We’ve never had loads of flies where I live in CQ, until this summer & now they’re swarming! Found my poor dog being harassed by more than a dozen horse flies the other morning 😳 and FYI the little buzz traps are useless! The bigger Enviro ones actually work but a bit slowly, but about 50 down so far & 999,950 to go! 😩🫣🐶
