Pest Free Ōtaki

Ōtaki is on a journey to become pest free. Our community is working together to control rats, possums, stoats, and weasels — the predators that threaten our native birds, forests, and streams. By building one coordinated project, we can protect our environment, strengthen community connections, and create a legacy for future generations.

The group has two separate projects - one focused on urban Ōtaki, the other on the rural surrounds. They are starting with rat traps but also have possum, mustelid, and live-capture traps available for monthly hire.
