Animal health company Zoetis has teamed up with us here at Goodnature to set up a trapping network across three Wairarapa farms to try to curb rodent numbers.

Imagine a very small rat trap - about the size of a shuttlecock - that can be thrown from a helicopter or drone, that will then biodegrade once it's done its job. At Goodnature, we’re about to turn this into a reality.

New Zealanders have taken to removing rats from remote places in huge numbers, passionately doing their bit to move Aotearoa closer to being predator free by 2050. While the A24 Rat & Stoat Trap is still workinghard out there, we're diving into designing a new rat trap!
