Canid Pest Injector (CPE)

Canid Pest Injector (CPE) are an American developed product in the 1930’s, they are a spring loaded Dog control device. Refined over the years to deliver toxins directly into the mouth of the target animal. Originally know as the ‘Humane coyote Getter (HCG) in USA and evolved into the name M-44. (The spring loaded ejector is not classified as a firearm.)

CPE are compatible with 1080 or PAPP toxic capsules.

• The firm upward pulling action required to trigger the poison delivery, is easily achieved by foxes and wild dogs, but much less so by most non-target species

• Target specificity is further enhanced by the use of lure heads that do not attract herbivores

• Target specificity is further enhanced by the use of lure heads that do not attract herbivores

• The toxins used, either sodium fluoroacetate (‘1080’) or PAPP are highly toxic to canid pests (foxes & wild dogs)

• Birds and reptiles are rarely able to trigger the device even if they show interest in the lure

• The device is staked to the ground by a sturdy metal peg and cannot be easily moved

• Devices may be set and left in place for extended periods (subject to local regulations) and can thus be used in long-term management programs

The CPE device has been extensively tested in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland to deliver a variety of potential toxins
