Croaked Cane Toad Control

Active Ingredients - 122g/L Eugenol 

Size - 375mL

Croaked is one of the latest products to come out of Amgrow in 2019 - with the sole purpose of assisting the control of cane toads within Australia. 

Croaked has proven against its competitors to be the the most efficient and humane method of killing cane toads.

Using an anesthetic formulation for the control of cane toads, allows no pain or suffering to occur to the toads, thus it is ideal for humane control of cane toads. Croaked is a ready-to-use trigger with a formulation using food-grade ingredients, containing the active ingredient, Eugenol (an extract of clove bud).

The active constituent of Eugenol, is used as an anaesthetic on amphibians including cane toads, that quickly sedates the toad. This prevents any suffering or pain to occur to the toads, thus making it a safe and humane method of controlling the species. 

The 375mL ready to use (RTU) bottle kills up to 150 toads - which is far more than its competitors.

Why Australia needs Amgrow Croaked Cane Toad Control?

Cane toads are native to South and Central America & are extremely hardy amphibians and voracious predators of insects and other small prey. These qualities led to  their introduction into Australia as a means of controlling pest beetles in the sugar cane industry in 1935, before the use of agricultural chemicals became widespread. Amgrow Croaked Cane Toad Control has been developed in association with AQUI-S New Zealand Ltd a company specializing in the manufacture and development of aquatic anesthetic( Eugenol) for aquaculture. The modified formulation of Eugenol has been found to be ideal for sedating and euthanising cane toads which is the first humane method in Australia.
