Moehau Environment Group http://www.meg.org.nz Ka Mate Traps Thanks to funding from the Biodiversity Condition Fund Te Kauae O Maui has been able to implement a 3 year pest management program using Ka Mate rat traps. We have chosen them, because they last a lot longer in the field and use a different trigger mechanism.
