Two Apps about Australian Pests
Posted on 15 July, 2013 by Connecting Country
1. New Pests iPhone App
Users of iPhone and iPad can now access the latest information about Australia’s pest animals via the new ‘Field Guide to Pest Animals’ App. This App contains species profiles for 31 of Australia’s worst pest animals, including
- species descriptions
- photo galleries
- footprints
- audio calls
- maps
- control techniques
- quick links to plenty of pest control resources.
To learn more, visit PESTSMART. According to the website, the same App will hopefully be available for Android phones and pads in the future.
2. New FeralScan App
Feral Scan is a national program where members of the public can map their observations of certain pest animals. Previously, this was only accessible through the FeralScan website. However, contributors to FeralScan can now access and enter data through an App on their mobile phones and mobile devices.
A dedicated FeralScan App suitable for rural and remote areas is currently in development, as is a new secure community group facility that will enable groups to login and share data about community-led projects or Council pest control programs.
