The efficacy of bait stations (200-litre drum cut in half longitudinally) for the broadacre control of rabbits was compared to that obtained with standard trail baiting procedures in the southern agricultural region of Western Australia. Bait stations were tested with and without the provision of pre-feed. Spotlight counts over three consecutive nights were used to determine the relative changes in rabbit abundance before, and several times after, baiting which allowed an estimate of efficacy.
