Movement patterns of feral predators in an arid environment – implications for control through poison baiting (2009, background): “Algar et al. (2007) also found extremely variable bait uptake, with between 0 and 70% of detected baits consumed depending on season, although these values were often less than 10%.”
Interactions between a Top Order Predator and Exotic Mesopredators in the Australian Rangelands (2012, background): “Poisoning feral cats is often ineffective owing to poor bait uptake [14–20] and a cost effective, large scale control mechanism for feral cats is currently not available [21].”
A continental‐scale analysis of feral cat diet in Australia (2015, background): “Broad-scale control of cats using poison baiting can reduce cat population densities in some areas (Algar et al., 2007, 2013; Christensen et al., 2013), but cats can still exterminate threatened mammal populations even when subjected to intensive lethal control (Christensen & Burrows, 1994; Gibson…”
