RAT BAIT AND BAIT STATIONS - SPRING 2016

28/9/2016

0 Comments

 
The days are warming up again, spring is finally here. The birds are beginning to build nests and now is the time to get into rat baiting again to support the great work that Forest & Bird volunteers are doing in Tikitapu Scenic Reserve. Thank you to everyone who has purchased rat bait stations over the past 12 months. And thank you to those local property owners who have been collecting rat bait recently and looking after their rat bait stations on their own properties.

Ditrac rat bait provided by Bay of Plenty Regional Council is, once again available to individual property owners, to support enhancing the biodiversity at Lake Okareka. We are especially interested in getting even more lakeside properties involved with rat bait stations. We believe that the results Lake Tarawera are getting with the increase in numbers of dab chicks could be due in part to their successful rat bait programme. They have many lakeside properties there involved. If you are interested, but maybe feel that you do not come to your property often enough to keep the bait station full, please contact us. We may be able to work out a partnering system with someone who lives here permanently, and is prepared to keep your bait station filled.
