Possums

Since its 1837 introduction to New Zealand the Australian brush tailed possum has thrived without predators over browsing forests and harming native wildlife. Humane sentinel traps set off the ground with baited bite blocks offer effective control where daily checking of leg hold traps is impractical and can help native birds return.
