🐀TIPS & TRICKS FOR USING RODENT BAIT STATIONS🐀
The benefit of using rodent bait stations are that they exclude non-target animals & children, provide an enclosed space where rodents feel comfortable to feed on bait and protect bait from moisture & dust.
🐀Wear clean gloves when handling bait stations (and baits) – this prevents human odours deterring rodents.
🐀Place bait stations against walls/fences, under cover of vegetation or disguised by placing rocks etc. on & around the stations – there is evidence that rodents can become shy of station shapes.
🐀Consider the rodent species and where they are likely to be - roof rats are arboreal (tree climbers) & spend most of their time off the ground, so fix stations at height such as in roof spaces and even up trees.
🐀Ensure stations are on a firm base – stations that rock or move when rodents enter are likely to discourage them from entering; maybe fix stations in place with a bracket or screws.
🐀Clean stations at least annually – brush out & rinse thoroughly with clean water.
🐀Regularly check bait – if all the bait has been taken double the amount of bait placed in the station.
🐀Pre-bait – where there is other food readily available to rodents & it can’t be removed, pre-bait stations with the same food for 1-2 weeks or until rodents are feeding on the pre-feed, then switch to the toxic rodent bait.
🐀Avoid moving stations – don’t move stations to other locations unless there is known rodent activity & bait has not been taken from the station for at least 1 month.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
