Is it a vespula wasp (German or common) or a paper wasp? Find out the difference here.

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.

- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.

- ​Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

Atm milk bought today is sitting in a bucket of ice/bottles of frozen water. I phd winz on Fri 21st to arrange new fridge. I phd Fisher and Paykel today (3rd January) to enquire when I was getting it, told no job had been logged. Phd winz waited 40 minutes for someone to answer. Told job still hadn't yet been submitted/approved. Due to call today it has now but F&P said it would still be at least 3 working days before I get it delivered. In meantime I'm without a working Fridge to keep my milk/food cold. So does anyone have a suitable small working fridge I can borrow for the next few days please.

Last night a large ute got in to the park even though there are bollards??

They unloaded  a small motorbike  and various children or adult/children combos rode around - adults with no helmet. This is dangerous, as lots of the dogs chase them, being a foreign noisy moving thing in a dog park. It is an accident waiting to happen, as the bikes increase speed and try and get away from the dogs.
If you see this, please ring the council 07-8386699 or the police if there are no helmets 07-8586200
WHERE CAN THEY RIDE THESE BIKES LEGALLY AND SAFELY??
