Help with Trapping
We provide wooden tunnels to ensure your pets won't get trapped. Inside is the Victor trap. Here are some ideas to help you become a successful predator hunter.
-
Place your trap along a fence or wall which is where they run
-
Make sure the rat can see through the wooden tunnel so they feel confident going in
-
Place bait outside the trap leading to it - a trail
-
Rotate baits; peanut butter, mutton fat, mayonnaise, vanilla scents, beef fat
-
Have dry a clean, fresh, dry trap. Pests don’t like rotten foods.
-
Change things if they aren't working
​
Important! Please let us know when you eliminate a predator so we can update our database.

Recording Results
We're keen to record success.
​
Our friends at Auckland Council and Urban Ark have donated traps but they want to see results.
​
Please contact us when you have a successful outcome. Or ask for access to the software so you can record success yourself.
​
We'll follow up from time to time and make sure you're still using the traps and to help out where we can.
