Waiuku Predator Trap Library Monthly Open Day

Our final Trap Library Open Day of 2026!

Whether you need to borrow anything or not this month, come and celebrate another year of community trapping with the team. Find out more about borrowing traps and equipment and get advice. Plus, learn about the launch of a new backyard trapping project to protect our estuary wildlife.

Rats, mice, possums and other unwanted visitors can be a nuisance around homes, gardens and properties, not to mention prey on our native birds and other species. If you’re thinking about giving backyard trapping a go — or already have traps out and want a bit of advice — come along to the Waiuku Predator Trap Library Monthly Open Day.

📅 Sunday 15 November  🕑2pm–4pm  📍Waiuku Tool Library and Community Workshop

You can:

• Borrow or return predator traps and equipment

• Get advice on choosing the right trap for your property

• Learn where and how to place traps effectively

• Get tips on trap maintenance and use

• Ask questions and chat with people who can help you get started or stay motivated

• Learn about the launch of our new backyard trapping programme to protect the wildlife who like to call our estuary home.

You don’t have to be an experienced trapper — come along, find out what’s available and get some practical advice to help you get started. And by tackling pests around our own properties, we can also make a positive difference for our local environment and native wildlife.
