The Local Land Services and Biosecurity Queensland advise that Sticky Florestina may be entering our region through livestock transport.

• All parts of the plant are considered toxic and unpalatable to grazing animals.
• Sticky florestina produces hundreds of sticky seeds which are easily spread by stock, native animals, vehicles, machinery and people.
• Its seeds are also believed to be dispersed down waterways.

Prevention:

• Identify and treat any new infestations promptly before seed can be set.
• Prevent seed spread by minimising contact with seeding plants.
• Ensure to brush down clothing, empty boots, clean down vehicles, machinery and equipment before leaving infested areas.
