Get your backyard trap


Pest Free Warkworth is encouraging locals to get in touch for backyard traps, which are free for residents of Warkworth town, including tunnel traps made and donated by ITM Matakana.

“Every home should have one,” says the group, which has T-Rex and Victor traps for rats, Flipping Timmys for possums, and DOC200 traps, effective for catching rats and stoats.

“Let’s continue the drive to get pest animals out of Warkworth township and bring back our birds.”

Pest Free Warkworth, which said in September it had been successful for the second consecutive year in getting funding for backyard traps from Predator Free NZ, has as a target one in every five households in urban Warkworth, with the aim of having a completely pest-free community by 2050.
