A reminder that you can report unusual symptoms or pests to us online, anytime.

Our digital form provides an alternative to our existing 0800 phone line and means you can report the unusual in the way that suits you best.

It’s a quick and easy process, including submitting photos and location. Reports are processed by the KVH team, and you also get an email copy of your report for your own records.

If you’re unsure about making a report and whether it is urgent, you can also contact the KVH office at info@kvh.org.nz or 0800 665 825 for advice. The Biosecurity New Zealand hotline also operates 24/7 on 0800 80 99 66.

The most important thing, regardless of how you choose to make a report, is to do so as soon as you suspect you’ve found something of concern. All reports are valuable and the earlier they are made the more action can be taken to limit impacts.
