Ants
Most abundant class of invertebrate observed on cereal baits in the field (Sherley et al. 1999; Wakelin 2000; Spurr & Drew 1999)- 1080 residues in ants that received a non-lethal dose of 1080 dropped quickly to low levels after 7 days (Booth & Wickstrom 1999)
- A low mortality after exposure to cereal baits in lab trials indicates that baits not palatable or 1080 not absorbed from bait (Booth & Wickstrom 1999).

Centipedes
2 genera (types) observed on cereal and carrot baits placed in the field (Sherley et al. 1999)- Observed on cereal and carrot baits placed in trees (Shrubshall 1999)
- No 1080 residues measured in the tissue up to 16 weeks after an aerial cereal bait operation (Eason et al. 1993b).

Spiders and Mites
16 genera (types) observed on cereal and carrot baits placed in the field (Sherley et al. 1999; Spurr & Drew 1999)- No 1080 residues measured in the tissue up to 16 weeks after an aerial cereal bait operation (Eason et al. 1993b)
- Number of spiders unaffected by simulated aerial application of 1080 baits (Spurr & Berben 2004)
- No effect on spider and harvestmen numbers in artificial refuges after a carrot aerial operation (Powlesland et al. 2005).

Flatworms
Small numbers have been observed on both toxic and non-toxic cereal and carrot baits (Wakelin 2000; Sherley et al. 1999)- Effects on individuals or populations is unknown.

Observed on non-toxic cereal baits (Wakelin 2000)- Little known about effects on the individual, or population levels.

Native Snail
Possum control (including hand-laid 1080 baits) showed short-term increases in snail numbers – long-term benefits unknown (Veltman 2000).
