Meet the Rewild K1 Kill Trap
Predator control made easy.
FOR CONSERVATION PROGRAMMES
Better tools help good people stay in the field.
Rewild designs and makes practical predator-control tools for programmes managing people, trap lines, funded outcomes and the protection of native wildlife.
Meet the Rewild K1 Kill Trap — designed + made in Aotearoa New ZealandCONSERVATION IS A LIVING SYSTEM
The equipment has to work for more than the target species.
A programme succeeds when people can operate it safely and consistently, field work remains manageable, performance can be trusted and repeated effort produces a measurable ecological result.
Ecological outcome
Connect target control, placement and monitoring to the birds, habitats and biodiversity recovery the programme exists to protect.
People
Enable rangers, contractors and volunteers with different strength and experience to participate confidently.
Field system
Account for carrying, setting, checking, clearing, cleaning, maintenance and records across the whole network.
Long-term trust
Protect animal welfare, reduce non-target risk and provide evidence fit for technical, funding and governance decisions.
THE COST OF EVERY VISIT
Minutes saved at one trap become hours across a network.
Conservation teams do not operate one trap once. They revisit hundreds of devices through mud, rain, bush, farmland and public reserves. Small physical and servicing frustrations multiply into labour, fatigue, missed checks and volunteer drop-off.
THE PHYSICAL RESPONSE
Designed from the field outwards.
The Rewild K1 Kill Trap was developed around the complete trapping task—not only the moment the mechanism activates.
A compact 3.7 kg unit using the lid as its setting mechanism, with no separate setting tool required.
A visible capture flag, removable entrance and removable bait well support repeated field visits.
Active safety, durable plastic and stainless steel, included anchors and no additional wooden enclosure.
