PoaUku - For Rats, Possums and Mustelids

Here's a detailed analysis of the PoaUku field trials. Click here to view the report.

 

PoaUku are premium, long life, high-quality lures with proven attractiveness for rats, possums, and mustelids. It translates in Te Reo as Poa = Lure and Uku = Clay.

PoaUku are robust, inedible, and environmentally friendly nature means they offer a substantial improvement over many conventional lures, such as peanut butter and fresh meat (which rapidly deteriorate in the field and can be consumed by non-targets.

These scents were rigorously field tested in a wide range of habitats and environmental conditions from Northland to Fiordland. The lures remained attractive to target species for more than 12 weeks (with rat and ferret interactions continuing to peak at 12 weeks of field deployment).
