Our objective was to find an alternative toxin-free method to reduce rat numbers in\u00a0areas of the Abel Tasman National Park with high visitor numbers. A total of 203\u00a0Goodnature A24 traps were installed to test if rat numbers can constantly be kept low.<\/p>

Over three and a half years, rat tracking rates showed a mean of 6.1 %, or 3.9 %\u00a0excluding mast year peaks, compared to 90 % in the non-treatment area. The results\u00a0show that A24 traps are a powerful tool to effectively reduce rats in the long term.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
