Problem with possum? Book us in today!

We use the Flipping Timmy possum trap. Independently tested by NAWAC and passed as a humane kill trap.
We will visit your property and set up two traps in the best possible locations.
Revisit your property a few days later and remove any trapped possums.
Reset the trap and do the same again.
We have two price options depending on the size of the problem. In most cases, three visits to the property are enough to deal with the local possums for some time.

How To Setup

Everything you need is provided and it's easy. Choose a location you know possum are visiting, screw the base plate to a nearby tree or post, bait the trap with a piece of apple smeared with cinnamene, pull the string to set the trap. It is that simple.

The trap will keep working in the same spot until the local population of possum is eradicated. However, after a period of time new possums will move into the void. For this reason it's important to restart baiting the trap when you see the first signs possum are back in your patch.

Impact

The damage done by possums costs NZ farmers about $35 million every year. The New Zealand Government spends over $110 million per year on possum control.

Behaviour

Have an average home range of 200m in forest and multiple nest sites.

Active at night (nocturnal) and have favourite routes and trees.

Dislike wet weather, so trap during spring, summer, and autumn.

Solution

Set humane traps regularly to drastically reduce the possum population.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had a rat problem in the roof space and I didn't have the courage to go have a look 😄, and it wasn't something I was willing to experiment with going to the hardware store and buy products as I've done in the past dealing with mice. After some research and finding Ratboy and the reviews I decided to go with Jamie (Ratboy) I filled in an online enquiry, got a call and booked his services. Jamie's initial visit and follow up plan worked so well we've had no issues since, its been 3 weeks and the rat anxiety has gone. Jamie is the ultimate professional, a clear communicator who took all the stress and anxiety away along with the rats. Another 5 star rating because his work is truly exceptional. You want those rodents gone? Choose Ratboy now 👍

The follow-up visits were also very helpful, and we really appreciated the ongoing monitoring and advice. We’re very happy with the service and would definitely recommend Ratboy to anyone dealing with a rodent problem.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Jamie from Ratboy was absolutely amazing. We recently had a mouse issue at home and found him online — so glad we did.

He was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the potential entry points and explained everything clearly, which really put us at ease. What impressed me most was that he even went above and beyond by helping us speak with our neighbour and explaining the situation from a professional perspective, so we could get their cooperation.

You can tell he genuinely cares about solving the problem properly, not just doing a quick job and leaving.

Highly recommend Jamie if you’re dealing with any pest issues — reliable, thorough, and just a really nice person to work with.
