N AT I VE L AN DS CAP E MAN AG E M E N T Weeds versus natives. Many landowners don’t realise how many weeds they have and some think weeds provide good habitat. Native landscapes provide much better habitat for wildlife. It is possible to restore native habitat by planting trees in paddocks and controlling weeds in degraded bushland. We are here to help increase biodiversity and offset your carbon footprint. For a free property assessment contact Ross Faithfull on 0409 157 695 or faithfullrossco@gmail.com.

‘THE P ESTI ES I N B LUE ’ SW I P E AT BACKYA R D MOZZI E P O P UL AT I ONS If your family can’t spend time in your garden at dawn or dusk for fear of being ‘carried away’ by mosquitoes, the Pesties in Blue are ready to take your call. Active Pest expert Jim Burgess says, ‘We are treating more backyard mosquito populations than any previous year, typically because of the ideal breeding conditions prevailing well beyond summer, together with persistent rainfall’. Jim explains: ‘Our professional-grade

mosquito treatment envelops plant foliage but doesn’t damage the plant. We use water-based chemicals with no solvents and no overspray. ‘Typically, mosquito populations are so high that it is taking more than one treatment to make the necessary impact on the breeding cycle, but it does prove very effective, noticeably reducing adult numbers in the treatment zone and at the same time causes no risk to plants, pets or family members. ‘We are also working with nonchemical treatment options that cover large areas,’ says Jim. ‘These units are a little more expensive but do prove effective as an alternative to foliage treatment.’ For more information about any of the above, or to arrange a noobligation assessment of your property for treatment, call us on 6686 8607. Also see activepest.com.au/pests/ mosquitoes for a list of practical tips to help discourage mosquito activity whether you are at home or anywhere enjoying the great outdoors.

Introducing the Viva range from The Vast Interior Ballina. This furniture range is sourced from our factory in Delhi, India, and is made from sustainable mango wood, which is available in a variety of differently coloured and textured finishes. The mango wood is sorted and kiln dried before being machined into planks then glued together with quality Europeansourced glue in highpressure table top press till the glue dries. It then goes into the final finishing stage where the top is matched to the table frame. The top is what they call a floating top to allow movement in our humid, hot climate, and then finished in a highquality lacquer; five coats are applied to give you a long-lasting durable finish.
