Buy a trap

  • DOC200 traps ($54.00). The DOC 200 has passed draft NAWAC (National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee) guidelines as a humane kill trap for stoats, rats and hedgehogs.
  • Trapinator possum trap ($55.00). A specifically designed trap for possums and feral cats developed in conjunction with the Department of Conservation.
  • Goodnature automatic rat / stoat / possum trap ($199.00). Goodnature traps are powered by compressed CO2 gas. The gas source is a small, recyclable canister that will power and reset the trap multiple times before needing to be replaced. They are toxin-free, and work by striking the skull of the animal with a steel-cored, glass-reinforced polymer piston, killing it instantly.

Buy bait for our traps

  • Dehydrated rabbit to attract stoats: $23.95
  • “Smooth in a tube” to attract possums: $17.95
  • Peanut butter to attract rats: $8.00
