Free Rat Traps for Waitakere Township – Wak a Rat Project

Great news we have been given some funding by the wonderful people atecomatters, this will allow us to buy the materiel’s to build some trap tunnels.

Making them ourselves we allow us to get more traps out in the Waitakere Area.

Rats not only eat bird chicks and eggs, if they get into your house they can chew electrical wire and can cause fires. Learn more hereThe Rat Apocalypse in New Zealand.
