Pest control Auckland rats. NZ'S TOP RODENT-KILLER LEARNS FROM PEST CONTROL LEGEND AT NEW YORK'S RAT ACADEMY
June 26, 2019
In 2016 I attended the NPMA ( USA) meeting in Seattle. During this meeting I attended Dr Bobby Corrigans "RAT ACADAMY" . The course was standing room only with the 1000+ seat conference room full 30 minutes before its 8am start time.
Below is an article I did with Tim Wilson reporter for TVNZ. My hope is that I am able to help you the home or business owner successfully control your rodents with some of Bobbys top tips.
Kind regards

Kiwi man Owen Stobart is the country's go-to when it comes to exterminating rodents.
"The more I deal with rats, the more I respect them. Unfortunately, my job is to take them out," Mr Stobart says.
"Rat Academy is a course which essentially focuses purely on urban rat control … and he [Dr Bobby Corrigan] shows you lots of different scenarios and gives you the correct solution, according to his research and studies.
"Bobby Corrigan told us to ignore rat poo and look for the sebum trails because the sebum trails tell you where the rats are going."
Sebum is the mark of oil from the sebaceous glands from the rat's fur and are like "rat traffic lights".
"It shows you an area the rats trust, and they frequent on a regular basis."
Mr Stobart says the rat population is linked to the human population which suggests that rats will be more of a problem in the future.
"The more people we have, the higher the number of rats."
A highlight of the job has been exterminating 10,000 rats in Auckland.
"It was considered to be one of the worst rat jobs in the world. Luckily that's sorted now."
