Dedicated to protecting Australian pets from cane toad dangers
We started Toad Busters after experiencing the heartbreak of losing our own beloved dog to a cane toad. Sadly, this story isn't unique. Every summer, Australian families face the threat of toxic cane toads harming their pets and local ecosystems.
Toad Busters is here to change that. Through prevention, humane removal, and education — we help communities reclaim their yards and protect what matters most.
Our mission was born from personal experience. After tragically losing our family dog Billy to a cane toad, Matt Brine established Toad Busters Australia to help other families avoid this heartbreak. Every family deserves peace of mind when their pets are outside. That's what drives everything we do.
Our toad experts and the Toad Busters Australia team bring US-proven fencing and inspection methods to Australian homes — founded by locals who understand the unique challenges facing Queensland and Northern NSW families dealing with cane toad problems. Our expertise has been featured in abc toad interview and abc radio toad segments, helping raise awareness about professional abc toad removal services and abc toad emergency kit solutions.
We're a team of animal lovers, eco-defenders, and proud pet owners — committed to providing help with cane toads and keeping your yard a safe place for paws and bare feet alike.
