What is your focus area?
Not sure where to start? Choose the pest you’re targeting to explore traps, bait stations, lures, baits and other control products suited to the job.
Our Pest Control NZ range supports everyone from backyard trappers and landowners to professional pest contractors, councils and community conservation groups. Each pest brings different behaviour and challenges, so selecting products designed around the target species can make your trapping and control programme much easier to manage.
Practical Pest Control for New Zealand Conditions
Pest control in New Zealand comes with its own set of challenges. From rats and stoats putting pressure on native wildlife to possums damaging vegetation and pest animals causing problems around farms, homes and commercial sites, the right approach depends on what you’re dealing with and where you’re dealing with it.
Connovation has been developing pest control products for New Zealand conditions for decades. We combine research, practical field knowledge and plenty of time spent talking to the people actually doing the work to develop and source solutions that are effective, practical and straightforward to use.
Whether you’re managing a large conservation project or simply trying to get on top of the rats behind the shed, the same principle applies: use the right tool for the job and use it well.

Better Tools for the Trap Line
Good pest trapping in NZ isn’t usually about one clever trick. It’s about building a setup that works, checking it regularly and making adjustments when the pests inevitably decide not to follow the plan.
That might mean choosing a more suitable trap, changing lure, improving how a bait station is positioned or finding equipment that makes a long trap line easier to service.
Our product range includes solutions for rodents, possums, stoats and other mustelids, feral cats and wallabies, along with monitoring and conservation tools. You’ll find products suitable for everything from home pest control through to professional and large-scale conservation programmes.

Stay Informed with Our Expert Tips & Industry Updates
How do I know which pest I have?
Start by monitoring. Chew cards and tracking tunnels show which pests are present from their bite marks or footprints, so you don’t spend time and money controlling the wrong pest.
Should I use traps or toxins?
Traps are toxin-free and suit smaller areas, or places where pets and children are around. Toxins in bait stations cover larger areas more efficiently. Many programmes get the best results by using both.
Do I need a licence to buy pest control products?
Some toxins require a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL), and these are clearly marked on the product page. We must sight and record your licence before sale. Traps, lures, monitoring tools and many baits don’t need one.
Where should I place traps and bait stations?
Pests tend to travel along edges, so place them where you’ve seen signs of activity, such as fence lines, bush edges, tracks, streams and sheltered spots near food sources. Keep them out of reach of children, pets and livestock.
What is prefeeding and why does it help?
Prefeeding means putting out non-toxic bait before introducing toxin. It gets pests used to the taste and location, so they keep coming back, and that makes your control much more effective
How often should I check my traps and bait stations?
Check them regularly. Remove catches promptly, refresh bait and lures, and look for damage or debris that could stop them working.
Are your products safe for native wildlife and pets?
When used correctly, following the label and Safety Data Sheet, our products are designed to keep the risk to native species and non-target animals low. Always use toxins in bait stations, display warning signs where required, and keep pets and livestock away from treated areas.
Can I buy in bulk?
Yes. Most products come in larger quantities for farms, conservation groups and professional pest controllers. Contact our team for bulk orders or advice on the right products for your site.
More Than Just Pest Control Products
Knowing how to use your equipment is just as important as choosing it.
That’s why Connovation backs our pest control products with practical information for people out there doing the work. Our Knowledge Hub includes trapping advice, product information, research, best-practice resources and instructional videos covering everything from setting traps correctly to choosing and maintaining lures.
If you’re new to pest control, there’s plenty to help you get started. If you’ve been trapping for years, you might still pick up a useful idea or two. We’re always learning as well.
Our aim is simple: provide practical tools, useful knowledge and innovative solutions that help New Zealanders protect the places and species that matter.
