PUBLIC RETAIL SALES

New Zealand's biosecurity legislation and the increasing emphasis on the users-pays philosophy has places the responsibility for pest control expenditure more directly upon those who benefit from it.  As a consequence many householders and land owners now operate their own pest control programs. A large number of merchant retail stores throughout New Zealand are supplied with Pestoff products through ACP's contract distributor "Pestoff Marketing", operated by Bell-Booth Limited of Palmerston North (Ph 0800 80 90 91).

District and Regional Councils are a major client group. They are responsible for managing environmental, economic, public health and animal health impacts of pest animals. Their pest management operations cover the protection of locally important natural ecosystems, pastoral, agricultural and horticultural crop protection, and the protection of soil and water values where these values are at risk from pest animals. They also combine their financial resources with those of farmers and Animal Health Board Inc. to control possums and other vectors of bovine tuberculosis. ACP remains the principle supplier of pesticide products for these operations.

NEW ZEALAND DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION:

The Department of Conservation (DOC) has estate management responsibilities covering approximately one third of New Zealand's land area. The majority of this area comprises ecologically important areas and introduced mammalian pests occur in most of these. The control of introduced possums, goats, deer, rodents and mustelids occupies a large part of DOC's annual work program; with the aerial sowing of 1080 possum baits manufactured by ACP being a major part of the pest program. Using ACP's pellet bait products as its principle tool, DOC has successfully eradicated introduced pests from many offshore islands where recovery programs for native species are now well underway.

THE NEW ZEALAND FOREST INDUSTRY:

The production of high quality sawlogs for export and domestic markets is the primary goal of the forest industry in New Zealand. Protection of plantations from browse damage caused by possums, deer, goats, rabbits and hares is essential; particularly in the formative years of tree growth. ACP staff have backgrounds in production and environmental forestry and enjoy a close relationship with the forest industry providing products, training and advice.

COMMERCIAL PEST CONTROL OPERATORS (PCO'S):

Private pest control operators are the fastest growing sector within the industry.  An increasing amount of pest control delivery work is being awarded to commercial contractors by organisations which previously carried out much of the work themselves.  The number of PCO's working in urban, rural and remote areas has grown significantly. ACP has cultivated a special relationship with these PCO's and is receiving excellent support through product sales and feed-back.

INTERNATIONAL CONSERVATION ORGANISATIONS:

ACP has manufactured and exported pellet baits, paste baits and toxins for a large number of conservation organisations aiming to restore native flora and fauna or enhance the natural bio-diversity of island ecosystems. These organisations are usually attached to government or attached to conservation programs funded through international organisations and universities. ACP is proud to support these agencies by supplying products, technical assistance, planning and operational input.

INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL AND OTHER MARKETS:

The value of ACP's products for agricultural protection work outside New Zealand has been proven in a number of different locations where bait products have had to be sufficiently palatable to compete with alternative rodent food sources. The cost effectiveness of ACP's bulk product has been internationally demonstrated and there is continuing growth in the supply of overseas markets with product for crop protection and public health.
