We of the major pest species that have been introduced to New Zealand are Darwin’s Ant Pest control and the Argentine Ant. Darwin Ants are small (2-3mm) brown ants that have become established in Christchurch and other parts of the country as a pest of our homes, shops and other buildings. It’s distribution is rapidly expanding and it may form ‘super’ colonies where many nests are part of the same colony and workers from one nest can move to another. Darwin’s Ant came to NZ from Darwin in Australia and has found the environment in NZ to its liking. In NZ it forms much larger colonies than in it’s native Australia. It can be distinguished from a similar looking Argentinian Ant by its pungent smell when squashed. For more info:- https://www.targetpestwellington.co.nz/animal-pests/ant-control

Rodent Pest Control in Wellington

There are three species of Rodent Pest control Wellington; the Norwegian Rat or Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) the Black Rat or Ship Rat (Rattus rattus) and the Kiore or Pacific Rat (Rattus exulans). The Black Rat is the more common candidate for rat control in New Zealand, however, the Norwegian Rat is increasingly common and may come to displace the Black Rat as it has done in other parts of the world.

The head and body of a Norwegian Rat can be up to 30cm long but is normally around 20cm. The tail is usually shorter than the head and body and an adult can weigh up to half a kilogram, It has grey-brown fur and is lighter on the underside. Their droppings are 15-20mm long, usually coloured gray or black. The Norwegian Rat will build nests in any suitable enclosed, safe space but naturally digs burrows into the banks of rivers but it will often nest in the walls and roof voids of homes and other buildings. There are many names often used for the Norwegian Rat, they include, brown, earth, roving, barn, field, migratory, house, sewer, water, wharf, alley,  and common rat. All these names are descriptive of the animal’s habits and appearance. Interestingly the name Norwegian was given to the rat by John Berkenhout in Outliles of the Natural History of Great Britain believing that they had arrived on Norwegian lumber ships when it had probably come from Denmark. Since at that time Norway rats had not settled in Norway.

The Black Rat is smaller and more agile than the Norwegian. The tail is usually longer than the body and head. It is a better climber than the Norwegian and often finds its way into buildings via poorly sealed eaves. New Zealand buildings are susceptible to infestation by Black Rats because of gaps under roofing in the eaves. Rats may find their way onto the roof by climbing over-hanging trees. The Black Rat does not build burrows and will nest in trees or in the voids of homes and other buildings making it a prime candidate for rat control in New Zealand.

The Black Death, otherwise known as the plague, ravaged Europe and Asia between the 14th and 17th centuries killing hundreds of millions of people. It was the Black Rat that transported the fleas infected with the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The fleas fed on the blood of the rats and of the people that they came in contact with, spreading the disease as they sucked. Kiore are rare and now found only in Fiordland, Stewart Island and some offshore islands. They were brought to New Zealand by Maori settlers and have cultural and spiritual importance to Maori. Kiore are not normally a candidate for rat control in New Zealand.
