Thread: Bird Predator Control

Thanks for the morepork info @kukuwai - I never realised they regurgitated indigestible material – did you check out what it had been eating?
Just two ferret and two weasel tails this year in the swamp comp
I am just starting in a 10ha bush block on the west side of the Park - we have never trapped it as it is hard to get into – a young guy is keen to help me – the bush is thick and steep but he can climb and operate a chainsaw better than me.
I am going to set up a sentinel with an A24 about 50m apart up a few ridges to see what is around – not likely to be many possums as we got them as they came over our side
I put out four A24s – two with chocolate ALPs and two with possum paste in A12 lure containers – so far 3 strikes on possum paste and 1 strike on chocolate so I removed the ALPs and changed back to possum paste
I like to mount the A24s on a root or sloping tree trunk – the chocolate ALPs were just blobbing down the side of the barrel and touching the trigger but it didn’t cause a trip
Still trying to work out how to attack the rats in the new block – poison, A24s or snap traps – but steep access is not easy until we develop tracks
