Did you know the PhilProof bait station is a local innovation by Phil Thomson? It represents many years of his dedication to conservation and has become a vital tool in pest management efforts

Our June 2024 monitoring revealed mixed results: while some areas show progress with lower rodent numbers, others, particularly public reserves, highlight the need for intensified pest control.

We’re ramping up our monitoring to fine-tune pest control and support native wildlife, so keep those trap reports coming—every detail helps us get smarter and more effective!

Great news! Our monitoring cards from Tamahere Eventide’s Mangaone gully show zero rat prints, highlighting the success of our pest control efforts in this area—thanks to Jeff and the neighbours for making a difference!
