Wasp wipeout - can you help?

The Team from Wasp Wipeout

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

Selwyn Police advise that last night between 6 and 8:30pm a burglary occurred in Wards Road. During this time at a neighbouring address a female was caught looking into the sitting room, and when challenged by the occupant she stated that she needed petrol.
She had arrived in a Silver Nissan Tida motor vehicle that was driven by a male.

Descriptions:
Female - Caucasian, 18-20, wearing black 3/4 pants, black frilly top, long straight black hair.
Male - Māori/Pacific Islander, 18-20.

If you have any information relating to this incident please call the Police on (03) 363 7400. They would much rather receive information that turns out to be unrelated than have people not call.
Remember, if you see anything that might be suspicious call the Police immediately on 111.
Stay safe and look after your neighbours.
From the Selwyn Emergency Management Team.
