Just found the new webpage for traps - impressive, many thanks!
only one comment - can the sort (eg trap type) but made not case-sensitive - I’d look for the last listed up amongst the others "P"s?
I look forward to the new baiting webpage.
Thank you all,
Jo

The problem we all have is using any trap with any lure or poison bait will never get all the rats of either species. So frustrating. The only answer is a control that does not effect other species yet controls the population.

Approved by the EPA (USA) and allowed in 11 US states, why can we not use it in NZ? Has it been looked at, tested ?

Ideal for urban areas or where by-kill is a risk. It will not stop reinvasion but that is where trap + ring fencing comes in to protect our threatened species.
