What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

If you are 3+ months pregnant/hāpu and wouldn’t mind meeting with me twice during your pregnancy and once after bubba is born, then please contact me 👍🏻. I will be asking you some relatively basic questions regarding your experience and how you are finding this time in your life and the transitions you are going through.
Your personal information is 💯 private and confidential, I will not include your name or any other personal information in my findings.
So…if you’re hāpu 3mnths + and interested (or know someone who might be), I’d LOVE to hear from you!!
Much appreciated

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
