Post 3 of 6: Possible Pest Problems When Insulating Your Home
As we discussed in our May newsletter, borer can get very nasty if it isn't treated. Borer gets right into the framework of your home or building, therefore running the risk of collapse - especially if it's prominently in the roof and walls. If there's signs of rats and/or mice, such as droppings or "nibbles" out of things such as cables, or if you see signs of borer when you go to have a look at your insulation, it's time to act - and fast! If these pests are left in residence, you run the risk not only of building collapse, but also of fire from exposed wiring the pests have feasted upon.

The next 3 posts in this series have some helpful information on how to spot borer, rats and mice, and if you think you have a pest problem make sure you call us on 0800-99-PEST.

While I have checked and double checked my belongings and with the various departments of the Hospital, it has not been found. Unfortunately for whoever took it, it is blessed with the hearts of friends and whanau and I firmly believe the 'bad pixies' will be visiting very shortly, just when you least expect it! If by chance you have found my pounamu, I would appreciate it back and am more than happy to negotiate with the 'bad pixies' on your behalf.

Thousands of people are expected to gather at Wellington’s Pukeahu National War Memorial Park this Sunday 28 October for a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The Duke and Duchess will meet the public at Pukeahu between 4.45pm and 5.30pm after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and visiting the newly unveiled UK War Memorial. It will be their only public appearance in Wellington.

· Try to arrive well in advance
· If you have to drive, try not to park too close to Pukeahu – there’s not much parking in the neighbourhood. Try to take a bus or take an enjoyable walk through the city to Pukeahu.
· Let the kids, people shorter of stature, and seniors, get up the front – taller people can get a good view over their heads
· If it’s raining (or blazing sunshine), leave the umbrella at home – it’ll block views. Instead, take a hat if it’s raining.

The Ta Ara Tapere ki Pōneke - Open Streets event in the CBD on Sunday means Taranaki Street, between Dixon and Jessie Streets, will be closed between 6am and 3pm. Other streets also to be closed during this time are:

· Victoria Street (Hunter to Wakefield)
· Wakefield Street (Victoria to Cuba)
· Lower Cuba Street (Wakefield to Manners)
· Dixon Street (Cuba Mall to Taranaki)
· Inglewood Place
· Ghuznee Street (Taranaki to Marion)
· Manners Street (Taranaki to Cuba) will be bus-only.

Bus services will run as normal except for routes 3 and 21. Diversions will be in place – check the details on the Metlink website.
