Humanely dealing with pests this winter.

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Have you ever had a pest problem? I used to have a pet rat. They are smart, affectionate, clever little things.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

This course is specially designed with women in mind given the effect of hormonal changes, childbirth, and lifestyle we experience in our lifetime.
Basics and gentle sessions starting from Monday from 20th July from 9.30 am to 11 am and for those who can not attend mornings from 6 pm to 7.30 pm.
Booking essential, 10 weeks ($150) yoga sessions.

What to expect?
Increase tone: whole-body toning with special attention to the trunk and lower limbs
Learn to relax: The first thing we often forget while feeling stressed is to breathe. You will learn to relax as you practice our breathing exercises.
Find Harmony: Unlike gym where you improve physical fitness without focussing on relaxation or in meditation classes where the focus is on the mind, Ayuspa Patanjali style yoga will help you find harmony between your body and mind.
Over the course of 10 lessons, you will feel fitter, more relaxed, and be in harmony. Fitness, age, prior experience, health conditions are no barriers. We just need you and your motivation.
Wear loose clothing, bring a water bottle and a yoga mat jumper and a blank.
Yoga means union of body mind and soul. Explore, stretch, and build up your strength in these 10 weeks ($150) yoga sessions.

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."
