FeralScan is a free online tool for recording and mapping pest animal activity.
It will allow you to:
• Develop a property or local area map of feral pig activity to guide control efforts.
• Work together with neighbours to undertake coordinated control.
• Notify your local community or landholder group about feral pig activity.
• Send alerts to neighbours or biosecurity authorities when new activity occurs.
• Record sightings, damage, feral pig evidence, and control activities—all in one place.
The FeralScan website and app were developed in recognition of the significant damage pest animals do to our environment, the economy and society.
“This app can be used at any time to record the location of pest animals in your local area, record the problems they are causing, and record control actions you undertake,” the developers said.

“Your records will be submitted to the FeralScan community pest animal mapping website, www.feralscan.org.au, to help develop and maintain an up-to-date picture of pest animals throughout your region.
“This information can be used to monitor populations, and to better target pests through coordinated pest control programs.”
The app is easy to use, works without wi-fi, and is designed to keep your data secure.
Get started today at www.feralscan.org.au, or by downloading the app.
For advice on pest animal control, call your local NSW Government biosecurity officer on 1300 795 299.
