How much do flash jandals cost now?

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. 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.

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?

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...

Hope you like this story:

Christmas
"My brother travelled the world and left us too soon. He collected Snow Globes from every destination and would often bring one back for Mom & Dad. We are continuing the tradition by purchasing a Snow Globe wherever our travels take us this year. His collection of over 100 Snow Globes is on display at our parent’s home along with a map with pushpins marking every place he visited. We will each take turns shaking the Snow Globes while listening to his favourite Country Christmas songs."

Do you have any traditions you keep or have started?
Would love to hear about what you do.
As we head into 2019, may we find Peace, Love, Grace and Kindness.
