If you are in the Christchurch urban area CCC offers a trap loan scheme where people can borrow traps to catch magpies, possums, mustelids (weasels/stoats/ferrets), rats and other pests on private land (Council do not go onto private property to remove/assist with magpies). Most traps are either humane kill traps or live capture.
You can arrange a time to pick up a trap or one can be dropped off if you live in the Christchurch area. You will be provided with information on how to use the trap safely and how to target the correct pest.
