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...

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've … View moreJandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop.

Make your 2019 New Years resolution to be prepared!

In the event of a major earthquake, the pipes underground that bring drinking water to, and take wastewater from your home, could be broken.

This means you will be relying on the stored water you have at home for at least the first seven days following an earthquake. And you'll need a plan for the safe disposal of your wastewater.
