Have you seen our new posters?

Two very special young trappers have designed some beautiful Artwork featuring native birds for our group to help encourage trapping in our community, Niamh (9 years old) and Cameron (11 years old)

Brother and sister next generation trappers are passionate about our native birdlife and love learning about pest control both in school and at home. Keep an eye out for their work

What are Pests doing in the month of November

• Bird breeding season - vulnerable chicks are appearing now and will benefit greatly from your active trapping efforts with an extra focus on Rats and Muselids. Use eggs as bait in your traps (uncleaned and covered in poop are best), Continue pulse baiting and regular checking of traps.

• Mustelid Juveniles are now leaving the nest and population numbers will be at a peak for the year. Bait your DOC200s with mutton fat/eggs or other bait fit for the hotter weather conditions and increased insect activity.
