How it works

Alert1080 monitors Department of Conservation (DOC) data and emails you when 1080 pest control operations are announced or updated near your location.

1. Search your area

Enter a town or place name on the home page to see active and planned 1080 operations nearby.

2. Subscribe for alerts

Enter your email address to subscribe. We'll send you a confirmation email — click the link to activate your alerts. No account or password needed.

What emails will I receive?

You'll receive an email when:

• A new operation is announced within your chosen radius
• An existing operation near you is completed
• There is a status change to an operation in your area

We only email you when something changes. There are no newsletters, marketing emails, or digests — just operation alerts.

How often will I be emailed?

It depends on activity in your area. Some locations may see several operations a year, others may go months without any. You'll only hear from us when there's something relevant to report.

What data is in each alert?

Each alert includes the operation name, method (e.g. aerial), bait type, planned dates, and caution period where available. There's also a link to view all current operations near you.

How do I unsubscribe?

Every alert email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you're done — no login required. You can also re-subscribe at any time by searching your area again.

Is it free?

Yes. Alert1080 is a free service.

Where does the data come from?

Operation data is sourced from the Department of Conservation via ArcGIS Online. We check for updates regularly, but there may be delays between DOC publishing data and alerts being sent. Alert1080 is not a substitute for official DOC notifications.
