During a recent pest control visit, Josh spotted a large redback spider lurking outside, right near a doorway. It was a clear reminder that these venomous spiders arenβt just hiding in sheds - they can appear where people walk and play.
Hereβs what you need to know about redbacks:
Appearance: Shiny black body with a bright red stripe on the back. Females are the most dangerous.
Habitat: They love dark, sheltered outdoor areas - under garden furniture, around outdoor lights, fence posts, and doorways.
Behaviour: Redbacks usually bite only if disturbed, but their venom can cause serious pain and discomfort.
Prevention: Keep outdoor areas tidy, move objects away from walls, seal gaps, and schedule a professional treatment.

Your garden might look like a tasty buffet to termites - mulch, fallen timber, even your garden beds. But hereβs the twist: once theyβve set up nearby, your home suddenly becomes the main course!
Termites donβt always start inside. They can begin in soil and garden debrisβ¦ then, if left unchecked, move in, causing costly damage before you even notice.
What can you do to help?
β
Remove Fallen Timber & Debris
- fallen branches, logs, and old tree stumps are prime termite food
- clear debris regularly to reduce nesting opportunities
β
Reduce Moisture Build-up
- void overwatering near foundations
- Fix leaking taps, irrigation, or drainage issues
- termites thrive in damp soil - keeping areas dry makes them less attractive
β
Regular Inspections
- inspect garden beds, mulch, outdoor timber, and fence posts at least once or twice a year
- look for mud tubes, chewed wood, or winged termites after rain
β
Keep Timber Off the Ground
Direct contact with soil = termite highway!
Raise garden timber, logs, and sleepers off the ground whenever possible.

Ever noticed pigeons treating solar panels like prime waterfront property?
Warm perch, great view, zero rent. Honestly⦠can you blame them?
Unfortunately, whatβs comfy for pigeons can be bad news for your solar system. Pigeon droppings are highly acidic and can corrode panel frames, wiring, and roof materials. Nesting underneath panels can block airflow, cause overheating, and significantly reduce energy efficiency.
Over time, this build-up can lead to damaged cables, increased fire risk, costly repairs, and a noticeable drop in power output.
If your solar panels have become a pigeon penthouse, it might be time for a polite (but firm) eviction - before they do any more damage.
