What is a lure?
Lures attract target animals to bait stations or traps. Lures can be a smell, edible (with a smell) or visual
Feral cat lures – smells
Attract feral cats to traps and bait stations with our range of non-toxic lures that smell. A whiff of salmon is an unusual scent in the New Zealand bush and well worth investigating for a feral cat.
Our range of salmon-scented feral cat lures come in:
– Bottles – concentrated form or handy pump bottles
– Aerosol sprays
– Scented hard lures – made from cereal or terracotta that fit into feral cat traps
For more options, see our range of feral cat control products.
Start by monitoring. Chew cards and tracking tunnels show which pests are present from their bite marks or footprints, so you don’t spend time and money controlling the wrong pest.
Traps are toxin-free and suit smaller areas, or places where pets and children are around. Toxins in bait stations cover larger areas more efficiently. Many programmes get the best results by using both.
Some toxins require a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL), and these are clearly marked on the product page. We must sight and record your licence before sale. Traps, lures, monitoring tools and many baits don’t need one.
Pests tend to travel along edges, so place them where you’ve seen signs of activity, such as fence lines, bush edges, tracks, streams and sheltered spots near food sources. Keep them out of reach of children, pets and livestock.
Prefeeding means putting out non-toxic bait before introducing toxin. It gets pests used to the taste and location, so they keep coming back, and that makes your control much more effective.
Check them regularly. Remove catches promptly, refresh bait and lures, and look for damage or debris that could stop them working.
When used correctly, following the label and Safety Data Sheet, our products are designed to keep the risk to native species and non-target animals low. Always use toxins in bait stations, display warning signs where required, and keep pets and livestock away from treated areas.
