- NZ Made & Owned
Four species of rodents exist in New Zealand: House mouse; and 3 rat species – Ship, Norway, and Kiore. All are introduced and all are considered pests.
Rats are a serious threat to New Zealand’s environment. They raid the nests of native birds and feast on the berries, fruit, and seeds that our native birds rely on.
Historically, rats are responsible for the decline of the bellbird, robin, stitch bird, saddleback, and piopio. Today, with fewer species available, they prey upon small forest birds like fantail. Even our larger native birds such as kereru and tui are being killed by rats.
That’s why it’s essential we carry out rat pest control in and around our native bush areas. And starting with mouse and rat pest control in our domestic areas is an important step to controlling rodents across New Zealand.
Got a problem with rats and mice? We can help, whether your problem’s big or small. Our rodent control products are more humane, environmentally friendly, and innovative.

Buy our rodent control products individually or in bulk.
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.
Yes. Most products come in larger quantities for farms, conservation groups and professional pest controllers. Contact our team for bulk orders or advice on the right products for your site.
