Treating Wombat with pole & scoop

There is no need to catch or touch the wombat at any stage.

If the wombat is approachable we suggest treating with a pole and scoop device. This device is simply a plastic scoop found in washing detergent or similar which is taped to a long pole (maybe an old broom handle). A wombat that is approachable usually indicates a more severely infested wombat.

Do not chase the wombat as this could cause stress.

Approach the wombat slowly and pour the Cydectin along the wombat's back and spine as this is the healthiest area and will allow the solution to be more easily absorbed. Remember the treatment is only once a week. Continue this way for as long as possible. After 4 – 5 weeks the wombat will be starting to feel better and may revert to its nocturnal behavior. This is when a burrow flap will need to be set up.
