There has been a bit in the media about  Cane Toad traps in the Top End.
As far as I can see these will have similar impact to Canute's commands.

But given mynah's preferences for centres of habitation and their slow
expansion at the periphery of their ranges, Chris Tidemann's Mynah traps
might be able to limit their range at modest cost
