Over cleaning up your dog dung everyday?
Well now you don’t have to!
We have selective bred dung beetles to remove your dog dung every day!
How?
Dung beetles will live under ground and come up each night to take your dog’s dung under ground!
This turns your dogs dung in fertilizer for you yard!!
The tunnels the beetles make allow water to enter your soil easier and reduce soil compaction!
Reduces fly populations and parasite populations by taking away their food!
Help the environment and turn your dogs waste into nutrition for your soil!
Dung beetles do not effect any of your plants or hurt any animals! They are ecosystem service providers, meaning the earth needs them to survive effectively, another example of a ecosystem service provider are bees!
We encourage you to look up dung beetles for yourself and see the amazing things they can do.
You have the choice to buy dung beetles that can fly and dung beetles that cannot. Dung beetles that cannot fly are not found naturally in the wild meaning you can only buy them here.
Sense the dung beetles cannot fly, they cannot leave your yard and will continue to remove dog dung from around October to April! All year round for those who live in tropical places like Cairns.
Please use an enclosed yard for your dung beetles as wired fences will not keep dung beetles in your yard as they will simply walk out.
Dung beetles that can fly will remove dung faster however there is no way of keeping them in your yard. They will stay from anywhere between 1 week and 2 months, but it is impossible to tell.
Each time a dung beetle removes dung they lay a single egg and around 50 days later you will have new dung beetles but only a couple will stay in your yard. This is because if there are to many beetles some will leave, that’s why you will get the best results from flightless dung beetles
The amount of dung beetles will depend on the size of the yard and how many dogs you have. Please read what dung beetles will work best for you.
Remember dung beetles are living animals and days where it is storming, they will likely hide underground and wait for the rain to pass. Also on really hot days some dung dog will dry up, dung beetles will not remove the dry dung, instead they will remove some of it but not all. Usually as they do this they will break up the dung turning it to dust away.
Different dung beetle species remove dung at different times to avoid competition for resources AKA dung!
Dung beetles will be for sale in November 2023 so please join the wait list as places are going fast!!

Dung beetles bred here will live for around one year and are native to Australia. We have bred these dung beetles to prefer dog dung but in the wild they would usually feed on Kangaroo dung. Dung beetles are vital to the land and when we brought over cattle and sheep to Australia we soon had to import dung beetles from around the world feed on their dung as our Australian dung beetles do not like cattle and sheep dung. This was a huge success and saved the Australian environment as all the nutrition from plants were not being put back into the soil.
