The Great Cane Toad Bust is Australia’s biggest cane toad control event, changing the game for Cane Toad control!
Join @Watergum in Australia’s biggest toad bust!
Every year, Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) wreak havoc on Australian native wildlife, poison thousands of pets and even impact local agriculture.
Cane Toads can live for more than 10 years, and females can produce up to 35,000 eggs each time she breeds. This means that every Cane Toad removed really does count!
This event is action packed, fun and can have a huge impact on Cane Toad numbers.
Getting involved is easy! Just follow these three steps:
- Get ready for the bust!
You can join in the Great Cane Toad Bust on your own, or by teaming up with friends, family and neighbours!
- Tackle your property and local area
Get out toad busting and tadpole trapping for the most effective Cane Toad control! Submit your data to join the Bust!
- Humanely euthanise your Cane Toads
Follow our guide to humane euthanasia.
Make sure to dispose of your Cane Toads – they are still toxic two weeks after death if left in the environment!
