If you’ve ever asked, “Why aren’t my traps catching more?”, “What’s a better lure for possums?” or “What’s the best trap for rats?”, this free guide from Predator Free NZ is for you.
Practical, species-specific advice that works
Available to download as one complete file or by individual species, each guide dives into: animal behaviour (how each predator thinks and moves), best lures (what really works), trap selection (what to use and where to put it) and other field-tested tips to help you trap smarter, not harder. Whether you’re starting a new project or want to fine-tune current efforts, these guides will help you get better results.
An introductory booklet shares predator control principles to help you plan and adapt over time.
Download, print out and share with your community groups. These guidelines are for community predator control groups that already know the basics and want to become more effective at targeting specific predator species.
