After a discussion about pest control with the Dept of Conservation a summary is as follows:
· Start control July to reduce rodent numbers by Oct 1st bird breeding season.
· Nov there is usually a number increase spike
• Survey the area into a maximum size of a 75metre square grid. One bate station per grid.
· DOC can supply a spread sheet to record a track monitoring system. See photo.
· Recommended “mini-philproof” bate stations. http://www.philproof.co.nz/gen_showproduct.php?cat=3
· This would cover possum & rat poisoning from the same station
· Recommended to use the second general coagulant poison brodifacoum.
· brodifacoum is marketed under several names, one is Pestoff , http://www.pestoff.co.nz/products.htm
· Poison bates available at rural retailers. Wrightson or RD1
The photo is of a track monitoring system. The black is a non drying ink. The brown is peanut butter. The blue/green is poison bate. The animal walks on the ink and leaves it’s foot prints on the white board.
