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...

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

One traffic lane on SH1 (southbound) between Empire Road and Chaneys overbridge needs to be closed for us to do this work. The Tram Road on-ramp will also need to close during morning peak hours only.

From Thursday 3 January 2019 one of the two southbound lanes will be closed till 13 January. From 13 to 20 January we will shift the traffic lanes; this will narrow the lanes and you will have to reduce speed, so this could still delay your journey.

The Tram Road on-ramp closure will be in place from Monday 7 January to 13 January, during morning peak hours only. Please use the Old Waimakariri River Bridge/Main North Road or use the Ohoka Road on-ramp.
