New pest control operation in the Hunua Ranges
Afternoon Neighbours!
A new pest control operation will begin in the Hunua Ranges, targetting 21,500 hectares of land.
The aerial operation will begin with a drop of non-toxic bait, to get the pests interested, followed by a drop of baits containing 1080.
Auckland Council's Environmental Services General Manager Rachel Kelleher said the ranges are home to many of New Zealand's threatened species and their focus is on protecting them.
"Many are vulnerable to introduced pests and diseases. However, through this collaborative work, significant gains and successes have been seen in the ranges over the last seven years, with many of our threatened species beginning to bounce back particularly our native kōkako".
The bait is poisonous to dogs, so they should be supervised at all times while in the ranges.
