46 Boffa Miskell Ltd | Pest Animal Management Plan | Wharekirauponga Compensation Package | 30 May 2022 A follow-up monitor 4 weeks after the start of any additional toxic control operations needs to occur to determine whether the rat population has been successfully reduced to below the threshold. Possums ≥ 5% CCI and/or RTC (Nov-Feb); ≥10% (Mar-Oct) • Additional aerial control operation or switch to a new toxin such as Feracol of Feratox (CSL required) • Up to three additional ground-based toxic control operations will be repeated per year where possible (i.e. where bait station networks targeting possums have been established), as per the methods outlined in this Strategy) • Trap checks and rebaiting needs to increase to once every two weeks, if not already at this interval, A follow-up monitor 4 weeks after the start of any additional toxic control operations needs to occur to determine whether the possum population has been successfully reduced to below the threshold. Mustelids >5 detections per 2000 CH1 • Trap checks and rebaiting of DOC traps needs to increase to once every two weeks, if not already at this interval. • A single ground-based toxic control operation with PAPP can be introduced with toxic baits placed in wooden DOC boxes (without the trap) or similar. Bait stations can be placed along all existing trap lines at 200-300 m intervals as suggested for stoats by Dilks et al. (2011) • Additional aerial 1080 control operation (likely only to occur if multiple pest species targets are in excess of the threshold/s for multiple consecutive monitors). A follow-up monitor for 3 weeks after 1 week at the end of the PAPP toxic control operations needs to occur to determine whether the mustelid population has been successfully reduced to below the threshold. A follow-up monitor 4 weeks after the start of the aerial toxic control operation needs to occur to determine whether the mustelid population has been successfully reduced to below the threshold. Feral cats >5 detections per 2000 CH1 • Trap checks and rebaiting needs to increase to once every two weeks, if not already at this interval. • A single ground-based toxic control operation with PAPP can be introduced with chimney and submarine bait stations. Bait stations can be placed along all existing trap lines at 500 m intervals as suggested for feral cats in the Best practice guidelines for the use of PredaSTOPTM for feral cat control • Additional aerial 1080 control operation (likely only to occur if multiple pest species targets are in excess of the threshold/s for multiple consecutive monitors). • Trap checks and rebaiting of DOC traps needs to increase to once every two weeks, if not already at this interval. A follow-up monitor 4 weeks after the start of the aerial toxic control operation needs to occur to determine whether the feral cat population has been successfully reduced to below the threshold.
