The gestation period for rats is only 3 weeks & they reach sexual maturity in 5 weeks. They can produce litters of 7–14 babies.
During Covid-19 Lock-Down rodent numbers increased dramatically as many rodent control programmes were put on hold, allowing for a complete uninterrupted breeding cycle during mild & dry autumn conditions.
It is important to keep bait stations fully supplied with bait - servicing during the colder weather being carried out at least monthly.

I saw that the Stuff Travel Reporter @LornaThornber asked you how post COVID domestic travel has/hasn't been for you. Out of curiosity I read a few comments and the general feel, is that it's not affordable to travel in New Zealand, preventing many from venturing off. Us Kiwi’s love travelling abroad, but depending on where and when you go and the experience you want the cost varies, which is no different when it comes to domestic travel. Not going to deny that New Zealand on whole is an expensive country but by taking advantage of the special offers as they become available can get you on that much needed or wanted holiday. Think about your locally owned and operated travel agency – helloworld Travel Whangarei! We can help you get moving in our own backyard.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!
In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.

“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

Rodents can cause considerable damage to homes and risk to our health. It makes sense to keep them out of your home or workplace.

Proof your building - Rats & Mice can fit through small gaps. Check around your building for gaps particularly around pipe-work. Seal any gaps & attach draft excluders to doors. Check for overhanging foliage - Rats often climb trees & drop down onto the roof & enter under the edge of the roof.
Baits & Traps – Bait is the most effective & efficient way to deal with infestations. Make sure you use secure bait stations to keep pets and children safe. Traps are also useful, although rats and mice can become trap shy. They are safe and effective when used in conjunction with baits. Bait traps with peanut butter or chocolate. Place the traps against walls and behind furniture where rodents travel.
