Here is an example of ship rat reinvasion after a successful 1080 op (est. 97% knockdown). The exclusion zones around huts and a campground (where no 1080 is permitted) are a primary source for reinvasion/ repopulation of the wider valley. Op date March 2024.
Nice maps! I’m assuming that the blue dots are the catches. Are the yellow polygons and dots the exclusion zones?
Yeh, that’s right. We’re looking to undertake rat control in these zones concurrently with future 1080 ops.
