BACKYARD HUB PLUS+

A social enterprise by the Karioi Project

Where we do all the dirty work for you!

  • Is this for me?

    This service is for anyone who prefers to outsource their predator control needs. Are you a busy or absent town dweller, or a lifestyle block or farm owner? We service anything from 5 to 100+ traps!

  • What does this look like?

    We can help you with all or any of the following: provide a predator control plan based on your desired outcomes, deliver & deploy your traps or bait stations, and service your traps regularly.

  • Who delivers?

    We meaningfully employ local school leavers and rangers to empower them to look after their local environment, while an experienced predator control team supports them.

  • How much does it cost?

    This depends on many factors, namely the property’s size and topography and the number and model of traps. Any profits generated go into further predator control on Karioi.

FAQs

  • Contact us! The best way is through our contact page. Give us a brief idea of your property and goals, and we’ll get back to you to get things rolling.

  • The sooner, the better. We can always adapt the predator control strategy as your property evolves, but there’s no point in investing in seedlings if they’ll be destroyed by pests!

  • You bet. When neighbours simultaneously sign up for ongoing trap checks, we are happy to offer a discount. The exact discount will depend on location.

  • Firstly, we provide local employment. Secondly, unlike the big pest control companies with their one-size-fits-all approach, we cater to everyone’s specific needs and desired outcomes. Our ongoing personal approach is guaranteed.

  • Absolutely. We can offer support at any stage. If you need it, we can start with a predator control plan, or you can simply purchase traps if you know what you need. The ongoing servicing of these traps can be done by you or by our team - that just depends on your interest, availability, and likelihood of getting it done.
