HOW IT WORKS

SNIFF SNIFF

Targeted long life lure
attracts rodents into
the trap.

KAPOW!

Rodent moves the
trigger to get to the
lure, firing the trap.

AUTO-RESET

The trap clears and
resets immediately
after an A-Class
humane kill.

DOING THIS DIFFERENTLY IS IN OUR NATURE

We started Goodnature for good reason: to see
endangered wildlife in New Zealand and around the
world flourish again. This means getting on top of a
bunch of pests - rats, mice and stoats for starters.
We also want to go about it kindly, without using
nasty toxins.

That’s why we develop humane traps that automatically
reset and are easy and safe to use in living spaces
through to wild places. Not only have we created a
world-first, we started a revolution.

Big thanks for joining us. Happy trapping!

YOUR CONSTANT CONTROL SYSTEM

Congratulations! You’re now the owner of the world’s
most advanced pest control technology. Goodnature’s
self-resetting trapping system gives you constant
control against pest reinvasion. Powered using
compressed CO2 gas, Goodnature technology combines
design engineering principles and animal behavioural
science with the highest manufacturing standards to
deliver a trap that will kill 24 times per gas canister.

SNIFF SNIFF...

The long life lure
continues to attract
rodents for constant
control.

Our lures are developed to be long life to minimise
maintenance eort and maximise freshness to remain
highly attractive to pests. As our lures are toxin-free
there is no risk of secondary poisoning to wildlife, pets,
livestock and working animals. Our Trigger and Strike
mechanism gives the Goodnature A24 its certified
A-Class humane status.

This Quick Start Guide has been developed to help
you get the best results from your trap. Your success is
everyone’s success so if you have any questions or need
any tips, we’re here to help - goodnature.co.nz

FIND THE BEST TRAPPING LOCATION

USE DETECTOR CARDS BEFORE INSTALLING

YOUR TRAPS

Our Rodent Detector Cards help you think like a rat.
To be a successful trapper, it’s important that you
assess (don’t guess), where to position your A24 trap.

The Detector Cards show you where rodents in your
area feel safe to eat. That’s the place you need to install
your trap, even though it might be somewhere dierent
from where you’ve seen or heard them.

WHY GOODNATURE DETECTOR CARDS WORK

Although you may see signs of rodents such as
droppings, diggings or even see them, these are not
always places where a rodent will enter a trap. Rodents
will investigate food, and therefore a trap, in places
where they feel safe.

The cards contain our toxin-free long-life lure, which
testing shows rodents find super tasty. By noticing
which cards have bite marks after a few nights, you’ll
know where your pests are eating and exactly where to
position your trap.

SETTING YOUR DETECTOR CARDS

First, choose a few locations around your property
where you think you’ll install your trap.

Next, fold the Detector Card in half with the orange
triangular detection surface facing out. You should see
the lure squeeze out along the fold. The Detector Card
is now ready to install.

Position the Detector Card so the bottom edge, with
lure, is a hand width height (roughly 12 cm) o the
ground. The orange side should be facing out.

Use the screws supplied to attach the cards to a tree,
post or wall in the areas you’ve chosen. The screw
should be in firmly but take care not to force the card
flat against the surface. If necessary pull the bottom
edge of the Detector Card a few millimetres away from
the tree or post. This allows rodents to get their mouths
around the card and leave bite marks for you to see.

LEAVE CARDS OUT FOR 3 NIGHTS

Leave your Detector Cards in place for three nights
before checking. If you have rodents interacting with
your cards you’ll see teeth marks on the detection
surface of the card. Now you’ve found the best sites to

set your trap!
