Do it for the natives (birds, lizards and invertebrates) - sign up to become predator free!
Kia ora neighbours, it's Brittany and the Community Outreach team from Predator Free Wellington.
We are close to finishing our Phase One rat and mustelid (stoat/weasel) eradication on the Miramar Peninsula. Our Phase Two eradication involves 19 suburbs - from Kilbirnie around to Ōwhiro Bay and up through to the CBD.
We're looking for household sign-ups in these suburbs. This involves the installation of traps/bait stations on or near your property. It's FREE and the devices are FULLY SERVICED by our team.
Our team will be working in Houghton Bay, Island Bay, and Ōwhiro Bay over the next few weeks. We will be pounding the pavements, knocking on doors, putting up posters - and getting people excited about becoming predator free.
Sign up now online - and spread the word! Or get in contact with our team by calling 0800 NO RATS.

Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
