Invasive pests

From carp, rabbits and ants through the full catalogue of weeds, we're using a range of methods to tackle invasive pests.

Biological control of weeds

CSIRO has a long and successful history of using biological control agents as a cornerstone of sustainable management programs for weeds of national significance, such as Paterson's curse and prickly pear.

Eradicating invasive ants Eradicating invasive ants

CSIRO researchers are leading the way in understanding the ecology, impacts and control of invasive alien ant species.

Tracking Australia's mice

Using the MouseAlert app, we’re asking Australian farmers to identify and target mouse population ‘hot spots’ to help predict future outbreaks and facilitate timely management actions for mouse control.
