Installing and using traps FAQ
Firstly, refer to DOC guide to trapping.
- Before installing traps, you must first get permission from the landowner. This could be you, or if it’s on public or conservation lands or along a river, check with your local council or DOC as the land may be council-owned, RTA, or Crown land. They may be very happy for you to trap, but you still need permission.
- Please record trapping data as this helps towards understanding what predators are where, and how that fits into the big picture to make NZ Predator Free by 2050. If you accidentally trap something else, such as a duckling, that data is important too, as the information is used to help design better traps to protect our curious natives.
- Sharing your trap data: If you are setting a trap in an area/s currently trapped by a local conservation group, great! Let them know so they can add your data to theirs. If it’s just you, then please do register your trap with one of the national databases. If you are setting up traps with friends and neighbours, a great database is DOC’s ‘Walk the Line’. Contact your Regional Predator Free Ranger (in North Canterbury, that’s Sandy Yong) who will help you. This app. includes great resources and tools and lets you see what others in your area are doing.
- How to operate and install DOC200 traps, see the videos by the inventor of the traps, below.
ARRG is a registered charity of volunteers who manufacture traps to help fund our river care work.
We label our traps that they may be potential ‘Danger,’ but lids cannot be removed without a small tool, so they are safe in areas where there are children and curious pets.
We aim to supply to people in the Waimakariri District and surrounding areas but give us a call if you are from further afield to arrange collection or freight.
For all enquiries, including requests for traps outside this region, please contact:
