Pest Control in Place

Toxin laced "strikers" have been placed along the eastern end of the Pauanui to Tairua Trail, says the Trail's conservation officer Claire de Thierry.

"They will remain in place for three weeks unless eaten," she said.

Three notices advising of the strikers have been strategically  placed on the trail.

A number of rats have already been caught in traps placed on the trail.
