Company details

  1. Pest Control Service

Written by the company

We started Goodnature for good reason: to see endangered wildlife in New Zealand and around the world flourish again. This means getting on top of a bunch of pests - rats, stoats and possums for starters. We also want to go about it kindly, without using nasty toxins. That’s why we develop humane traps that automatically reset and are easy and safe to use.

Have 3 traps for over 4 years (2 x rat traps & 1 x possum one). Have had a lot of success with the rat trap (in a dark shed) but up until a couple of weeks ago none with the possum trap. Up until now the possums have been using it as a stair to climb the tree (you could see their muddy prints on the top).
So what changed? This time I mounted the possum trap up a tree. There was a short branch 2m up the trunk and I mounted the trap 225mm above this. In the past fortnight the trap has gone off 9 times and I can confirm 4 kills.

Hi Mark, it sounds like you purchased the A24 Chirp Kit for $199. The current sale is for the A24 Counter Kit at $149. Hope that helps! - Thomas

They're all hype

They're all hype! I had one for two and a half years and despite all the advice I was given and no matter what I tried it never once killed a rat! During the same period I used a simple and very cheap "snaptrap" and killed in excess of 50 rats! DO NOT get one!

Hi Phil, as we have mentioned in our correspondence with you, although we do believe your Chirp was picking up legitimate kills that were subsequently being scavenged, we recognise that the A24 wasn't the right tool for you. As such we were happy to offer you a full refund, which you accepted and we supplied. If you believe this is an unsatisfactory result you are more than welcome to get in touch with us via email or phone - Thomas

Predator Free @ Glentunnel School

Thank you so much for partnering with our rural school trapping the focus predators - stoats, rats, hedgehogs, and possums in our 10 acre environment. To date we have seen a change in our biodiversity with native plants flourishing, native birds having greater success to adulthood and tamariki being fully involved in our environment, ngahere and trapping programme. We have trapped 3 rats, 90 possums and 6 hedgehogs so far over the course of a year. We look forward to being predator free as a school and giving our environment a fighting chance for future success.

A24 Not Triggering

Ordered a Bluetooth cap for old A24 it arrived quickly and the rats seem to love the bait but unfortunatly they didn't trigger the trap, instead they ate through the cap exposing the circuit board. The trap triggers when manually set off so not sure what is going on, doesnt seem sensitive enough for the rats, have expoxyed up the hole and will see what happens. Will put a tin can on the top, which may interfere with bluetooth but should stop the rats chewing on it.

Hi Bruce, I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your A24. Rats can sometimes chew on the Chirp if there is some residual lure on it after handling the ALP which attracts them to nibble on the cap, so that could be what has caused that to occurr.

I have also sent you an email with some tips on how to get the most out of your trap as there are a few things that might be causing the rats to not climb into the A24 and usually it's just a matter of trying a couple of different things to see which one gets them into it! - Thomas

For me

For me, an "experience" to write a review about would be a weekend at a B&B! This was simply a business transaction: I saw the product, I ordered it, I paid for it, and now I await its arrival.
It was an easy and simple process, as I would expect from any reputable company. Thanks!
