enviroMate 100 research ecolands farm
Ecolands farm is 56 ha having had serious pest control done since 1999. We have identified a transient flow of possum at a rate of 1 possum per 10 ha per week as a minimum. We maintain the property now using enviroMate100 bait stations on a 14 day rotation in conjunction with Steve Allen kill traps and leg holds on platforms.in 2017 we caught approximately 350 possums managing to recover fur and dog food from most. In 2018 we caught 320 possums. This done in approximately 26 trap site visits per year using 10 enviromate100. Rats rabbits and wild cats are also targeted. Just 1 single fenn trap in make shift cover next to the chickens house has caught a rat every week. Regardless neighbours efforts we still have endless possum reinvasion.
