Borer Treatment
Post 1 of 6: Possible Pest Problems When Insulating Your Home
Chances are, it's the first time in years (if at all!) you've visited your roof, underfloor or wall cavities when you decide to insulate. This means annoying pests have had plenty of time to set up shop and enjoy the warmth and potential food source without being disturbed. You could have thought it wouldn't be possible for there to be any pests in residence because you haven't heard anything, or seen any signs - but some pests, like borer, can be silent. And others, like rats and mice, might come out to enjoy your home when you're out or asleep.

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)
.
