Rabbits are in plague proportions in Australia. Various methods of control have been attempted. These include:

  • Rabbit-proof fence, which has been less than effective
  • Biological controls, such as introducing diseases like myxomatosis which do not affect the native animal population
  • Poisoning and trapping, which does affect the native animal population
  • destruction of known rabbit warrens
  • fumigation
