Have you got this Kmart product?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart has recalled a line of wooden trays after reports of an invasive wood-eating beetle species within them. A Northland woman found sawdust and holes in her serving tray and alerted the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), the government’s biosecurity agency.

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.

Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

Stray male cat

John from Sandringham

Over the last two weeks a rangy male tabby cat has been pleading for food at our place in Royal Terrace, Sandringham.
Or is there a colony of cats being fed around here.
If you have lost him please call 021996559

Note that we took him to the vet today the 6th of January and he belongs to someone in our area.

We will now just enjoy a pat on his daily visits but not feed him.
