Today

Today we got showed some more traps but most of the time we were also thinking how to improve these traps.
Now after this blog post I am going to improve my program for the LEGO NXT robots.
The program at the moment makes it spin a little bit of LEGO and turns when it is near a wall but otherwise it keeps moving forward.

DEAD POSSUM

Today I went to Seaward Bush to check the possum traps. We only caught 1 possum in the trap but it happened to be the trap that I set was the one with possum in it. We also checked the wax tags again but most of them were chewed to bits by dogs.
At the end we took pictures with ourselves holding the possum.

Seaward bush

Today I went to Seaward bush and we set some traps that looks like this but blue these are called possum master traps. To set the trap you pull the lever on the back down pull a string around two rubber hooks and twist a small orange tab on the lever and it is set. Never ever touch these unless you are resetting it. We also found bite marks in the wax tags. To identify them the possum teeth are 4-5 mm wide and the rats teeth are 2mm wide.

Seward bush

Today I went to Seaward Bush just out of Invercargill. When we got there we nailed wax tabs to the trees there about ten meters apart. The wax tabs are used to find out what pests are out in the bush. They are also used to see how many are there.

We also put down the first trap in the bush it was the D.O.C. 200 which is a kill trap for rats and mustelids.
