Baits with the poison [[Sodium fluoroacetate|1080]] are regarded as the fastest and safest method for dog control, since they are extremely susceptible. Even small amounts of poison per dog are sufficient (0.3&nbsp;mg per kg).<ref name="Nord"/> The application of aerial baiting is regulated in the Commonwealth by the ''Civil Aviation Regulations (1988)''. The assumption that the [[tiger quoll]] might be damaged by the poison led to the dwindling of areas where aerial baiting could be performed. In areas where aerial baiting is no longer possible, it is necessary to put down baits.

From 2004, cyanide-ejectors and protection collars (filled with 1080 on certain spots) have been tested.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ejector research update |url=http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Beefy-Beast-Ed11.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091025123309/http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Beefy-Beast-Ed11.pdf |archive-date=25 October 2009 |publisher=Department of Natural Resources and Mines |work=Beefy and the Beast Issue 11 |date=August 2003 |access-date=13 May 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="beefy12">{{cite web |title=Livestock protection collars to be tested in Queensland |url=http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Beefy-Beast-Ed12.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091025122803/http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Beefy-Beast-Ed12.pdf |archive-date=25 October 2009 |publisher=Department of Natural Resources and Mines |work=Beefy and the Beast Issue 12 |date=April 2004 |access-date=13 May 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2016, controversy surrounded a plan to inject a population of dingoes on Pelorus Island, off the coast of northern Queensland, Australia, with pills that would release a fatal dose of 1080 poison two years after the dingoes were to be intentionally released to help eradicate goats. The dingoes were dubbed 'death-row dingoes', and the plan was blocked due to concerns for a locally threatened shorebird.<ref>{{cite web |title=Death-row dingoes plan blocked |url=https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2016/08/death-row-dingoes-plan-blocked/ |publisher=Australian Geographic |date=2016-08-19 |access-date=8 October 2018 |archive-date=8 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008061508/https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2016/08/death-row-dingoes-plan-blocked/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
