Pest Free Pt Chevalier

About us

Pest Free Pt Chevalier logo

Pest Free Pt Chevalier aims to get a rat trap in every fifth back garden across the Pt Chevalier peninsula.

Kirearea Kore Te Rangi Mata Rau is a group of backyard trappers which grew out of a long-standing trapping group in Eric Armishaw Reserve. We’ve been active since 2019 and now have over 180 traps in backyards across Pt Chevalier.

Thanks to Predator Free NZ support, we have over 100 Victor Pro traps in wooden tunnels waiting to be deployed. Get in touch and we’ll find a home for one in your garden.

If you’re new to trapping, read our trapping guidelines (PDF, 286.41 kB).
