Possum Control

Specialists in Possum Control within Aotearoa, New Zealand

The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) was introduced from Australia to New Zealand, where it has become a major agricultural and conservation pest

Mainland Vector Contracting Ltd specialises in all toxin types and has extensive experience in all methods of possum control.

The company’s preferred method is flying pre-feed in trickle feed lines then walking the pre-feed lines to hand-lay toxin.

This method works well because there is less public opposition but still achieves an effective control level.
