Warning About Poison Spread
Poison is to be used at the South Shore spit reserve and a warning is being issued to pet owners about it.
Christchurch City Council’s Coast Care said today that a rabbit control operation would start on Monday 9 October and finish on Friday 20 October.
Pindone pellets will be used in the operation and warning signs will be erected at all entry points a week before the operation starts.
A Coast Care ranger, Mark Ross, says that dogs should be kept out of the area during the operation.
Mr Ross says that if it is suspected that a dog has come into contact with the poison or rabbit carcass owners should contract a vet.
Flyers are being issued to householders in the district.
