TLC TRAP LIBRARY
SUMMARY
In October 2025, TLC is launching Central Hawke’s Bay’s first predator Trap Library for farmers in the 17 Tukituki sub-catchments. With 400 free-to-borrow traps, we’re stamping down on stoats, rats, hedgehogs, possums and feral cats to boost native biodiversity, help our wetlands and bush regenerate and lower the spread of disease affecting our livestock.

TRAPS AVAILABLE
Flipping Timmy - for possums
The Flipping Timmy is the traditional possum trap redesigned for effectiveness, ease of operation and safety. Reengineered and optimised, the Flipping Timmy possum trap has been independently tested and passed the NAWAC humane trap testing guidelines. The ergonomic vertical set provides enhanced operation with no bending over required, the catch area remains clean even if left uncleared for some time. All metal components are stainless and will not rust. The unique red fine setting component can be slid to sit in line with the bait bar to increase the sensitivity of the trap.
Requiring no toxins, it is the perfect tool for farms, bush fringes and for guarding orchards from intruders. The unit can be cleared, rebaited and re-set in seconds. www.envirotools.co.nz

DOC 200 Trap - for stoats, rats and hedgehogs
The DOC 200 is an effective, humane trap designed to quickly dispatch stoats, rats, and hedgehogs.
Each TLC DOC 200 trap comes in a custom-built wooden box, made locally by Mauri Oho, to keep the trap secure and safe from farm dogs and children.
