In response to the threat the Indian Myna poses to native animals and biodiversity, Knox City Council has examined options for the control and management of the species.
Community action supported by local government has proven to be the best approach to pest control programs, including control of the Indian Myna. It takes advantage of the strengths of both local government and community action groups.
Trapping Indian Mynas on your property using a custom-designed trap followed by approved euthanasia measures will reduce the Indian Myna population, thereby reducing the threat to native birds and animals.
Traps are 820L x 410W x 600H in size and cost $50.20 each. More information about the traps and the program can be found in the factsheets at the bottom of this page.
Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and the Knox Civic Centre being closed, Indian Myna Traps will not be available for purchase until further notice.
