**Shipping**

Traps.co.nz is a New Zealand owned and operated business established in 2000. Our goal is to help protect natural environments by supply of quality products and solutions to support all aspects of animal pest control and pest monitoring in New Zealand and overseas.
Company Focus
Our business focuses on providing customers with options to control or eradicate introduced animal pests such as possums, rats, stoats, weasels, ferrets, feral cats, hedgehogs and rabbits. These animals have had a major impact on the viability of our native bird and plant populations and in many cases have caused local or total extinction of species.
Why we need to control animal pests
Animal pests need to be controlled or eradicated if we want to pass on our natural heritage to future generations. Failure to do so will mean the extinction of even more species adding to the already long list of extinctions that have occurred since the arrival of man to our shores. We also need to control animal pests to protect our farm industries from the transfer of diseases from wild animals to our domestic herds which threatens our country's economy.
Our Innovative History
Traps.co.nz sell innovative products for the animal pest control industry. Our parent company has a track record of producing products that are now used extensively for animal pest control and monitoring throughout New Zealand. Products such as our WaxTag (NZ patent no. 516900), for possum and rat monitoring and our Sentinel Kill Trap (NZ patent no. 521746) for possum and feral cat control are examples of how we have lead the field in innovative product design and development in animal pest control. We have also invented totally new lures for possums, rats, stoats, hedgehogs and feral cats such as the Mustelid and Cat Lure, the Rat and Possum Lure and Possum Dough which is irresistible to possums.
Our Products
We have a fantastic line of animal pest control products that are primarily focused on the control and monitoring of animal pests in our native and farm environments. We are focused on protecting our native forest and our native birds that are increasingly coming under pressure from the threat of extinction through predation by introduced animal pests. We are also focused on helping to eliminate Tb (bovine tuberculosis) from our domestic herds by producing new and existing products that control wild animal vectors that carry Tb and infect our farm animals.
