Last week our ranger team were refreshing bait stations on Staffa. These boxes contain a tasty cocoa flavoured wax which we check for chew marks from invasive non-native mammalian predators to protect our seabirds. Biosecurity for LIFE SCRA National Trust for Scotland

This goes for kayaks too! Kayaks can also provide a safe home for a rodent over winter, so do check your kayak thoroughly for any uninvited passengers before hitting the water.

Some simple checks are all it takes. Before putting your boat back on the water check for any signs such as droppings or chew marks, that a rodent has overwintered in your boat.
