Orchards & Horticulture
Protect your crop and your export market — NZ's first pest intelligence built for growers.
Orchards & Horticulture
For growers, pest pressure isn't just a nuisance — it's an export-grade threat. The Queensland and Oriental fruit flies could shut down an entire region's exports overnight, while wasps and vinegar flies hit harvest crews and packhouse hygiene. GotchaPest pairs targeted traps with the Pest Tracker, New Zealand's first community pest-intelligence network built to give growers early warning.
Hang traps across your blocks, log what you catch, and watch real regional activity fill in on the map — so you act on a spike long before it becomes a grade-out problem.

Biosecurity on the front line
Every grower is part of NZ's biosecurity net. Learn the signs of QFF and Oriental fruit fly, report suspects to MPI, and keep surveillance traps intact on your boundary.
Wasps and harvest crews
German and common wasps are a real danger at harvest. Bee-safe traps along block edges draw wasps away from pickers and bins.
Packhouse hygiene
Vinegar flies and blow flies in the packhouse cost grade and reputation. Reusable traps near waste and ripening fruit keep the line clean — chemical-free.
