Moves made to rid Pittsworth of flying fox plague
19th Mar 2013 PITTSWORTH residents are awaiting the outcome of an application to have thousands of roosting flying foxes removed from the town.
Toowoomba Regional Councillor Ros Scotney said The Pittsworth District Alliance made the application to the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection yesterday.
She said she hoped the application would be fast-tracked.
"On the form it said it would be April 2 before it (the removal) was enacted," Cr Scotney said.
"We are not happy with that.
"They (the flying foxes) have just got into plague proportions."
This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
Cr Scotney said the plan was to use laser lights to frighten the flying foxes.
"They have to be set up to come on at 3am."
She said the option of loud music had been discussed, but was not sure it would be suitable in a residential area.
Mayor Paul Antonio and Member for Toowoomba South John McVeigh also visited the Short St area of Pittsworth at the weekend.
"Now we just have to wait for a response."
Pittsworth residents crack the whip on flying foxes
GETTING some early morning rest may prove difficult in Pittsworth this week as residents amp up their efforts to disperse roosting flying foxes.
The crack of a whip together with the bashing of pots and pans rang out before dawn this morning as residents began their mission to drive the bats out of town.
Green firewood was burned in steel drums at the base of roosting trees to maximise the smoke deterrent while spotlights were directed at the populated limbs.
Rangers from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection coordinated the dispersal.
Bat Conservation and Rescue Queensland president Louise Saunders was pleased with the method of dispersal.
"The rangers were good and could see that the animals were tiring so they stopped the dispersals," Ms Saunders said.
The flying foxes relocated to trees about 500 metres from their long term roosts.
Pittsworth District Alliance president Mark Droney said the plan was to continue the dispersal efforts until the flying foxes moved to trees out of town.
"We had people turn up and volunteer to come back tomorrow," Mr Droney said.
