MyPestGuide®- Biosecurity Blitz Survey

MyPestGuide®- Biosecurity Blitz Survey

October 2025
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's (DPIRD) Biosecurity Blitz runs from 16 October – 16 November 2025. It’s a chance for everyone to learn about interesting organisms and help protect Western Australia by reporting exotic pests.

Whether you’re a gardener, farmer, student, or curious kid, you can learn how to protect your local environment and join a community of pest reporters.

This survey has 10 quick questions and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. By sharing your thoughts you’ll help us understand how confident you feel in identifying pests and diseases, how familiar you are with our biosecurity tools and services, and how we can improve them to better support you.
