What is the Black Trakka?
The Black Trakka is a monitoring system widely used within New Zealand. Developed by the Stoat Technical Advisory Group of the Department of Conservation, this system has provided a reliable source for tracking small animals and insects for over a decade.
Through cooperation with government agencies such as the Department of Conservation (DoC) as well as through home monitoring, we aim to assist in New Zealand’s predator-free campaign to fully eradicate all pests and predators by the year 2050. While it might seem like a daunting task, with the help of the Black Trakka, locating predators has never been so easy.

Meet the Inventor
Stoats, rats and other pests make a serious mistake when they cross the path of Scotts Landing resident Warren Agnew. He has been on the trail of these animals for decades with his latest innovation being a toxic trap that kills with a poison spray. In the fight to save our native fauna from predation from introduced pests, Warren has also developed tracking tunnels, foot recording systems and an electronic trap.
