would suck/lick off her when she returned to the nest.......goodbye next generation......... trap would stay active for months, not just one chicken egg which have to be replaced costing many 'man hours'.......

would much rather see 'direct extermination' like this targeting specific species (this would work on rats too) rather than indiscriminate 'drop' which kills ALL species and gets into the water supply....

Im not that naive to think it would eradicate all NZs pests, but this 'blanket poisoning' has to stop.....
