Mould & Mildew
Hi everyone, just a quick reminder now that winter is knocking on our door please be vigilant in checking your home for Mould/Mildew growth. Especially bathrooms, windows (frames, sills, glass and tracks), walls (check behind furniture positioned on exterior walls). We recommend a weekly check and clean the affected areas as soon as you notice any growth. Mould develops very quickly and can be easily controlled if checking weekly.
If in doubt please call Mickey 0210551077 or email mickey@busybees.co.nz and organise a full clean, wall wash, ceiling wash or windows. Stay warm and healthy this winter.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
