The Pest Advice

Good morning,

I hope you all had a good weekend and had good enough weather to get out and into your garden. Today is the last day of spring and tomorrow is the first day of summer, so I will expect the weather to warm up significantly. It is only 12C here in Christchurch today! Brrrrr.

If you did get to work in your garden or do your season’s fly and spider proofing of your house, did you use organic products?

Many people are looking for ways to control pests around the house and in the garden with the least harmful and safest methods. Kiwicare is expanding its BioGro Certified Organic Range. The latest product to join the range is NO Caterpillars for the protection of vegetables and other plants from attack by the white butterfly caterpillars and others. NO Caterpillars is safe and effective and leaves your vegetables safe to eat, having no withholding period.

NO Ants Barrier is one of the most popular products in the organic range. It can be used to ring fence your home and prevent ants and other crawling insects from entering. It contains no insecticide, instead it is based on capsiacin obtained from chillies. Ants and other insects will avoid treated surfaces. You can keep ants out of your home and not use any insecticide.

There is an organic farmer,
Who only uses stuff that won’t harm her.
From the Kiwicare range,
She’ll never change.
‘Cause she’s bhuddist and it is just karma.
