1
00:00:06,815 --> 00:00:10,695
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,855 --> 00:00:11,935
Speaker 1: from News Talk SEDB.

3
00:00:13,735 --> 00:00:17,735
Speaker 2: From the German variety, I think, yeah, or to common variety. Yeah,

4
00:00:17,855 --> 00:00:20,935
Speaker 2: the common variety is from Germany and the Germans from England.

5
00:00:21,735 --> 00:00:24,975
Speaker 2: I like that right here, No, don't go there. I'm

6
00:00:25,015 --> 00:00:26,615
Speaker 2: not going to do this, not now.

7
00:00:28,215 --> 00:00:30,855
Speaker 3: I did have to tackle a wasp nest that had

8
00:00:31,255 --> 00:00:34,575
Speaker 3: developed sort of underneath the roof tiles, right, so a

9
00:00:34,615 --> 00:00:38,335
Speaker 3: little crack and the grouting in and out they were coming.

10
00:00:38,415 --> 00:00:40,895
Speaker 3: So I'm up there with a couple of cans of

11
00:00:40,935 --> 00:00:46,375
Speaker 3: spray just having a go, and Cam, who's from Select

12
00:00:46,415 --> 00:00:48,735
Speaker 3: Home Services who are servicing the heat pumps, goes, oh,

13
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:50,935
Speaker 3: We've got all this fancy equipment for doing that, and

14
00:00:50,975 --> 00:00:53,095
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't worry about I'll have a crack anyway.

15
00:00:53,135 --> 00:00:54,935
Speaker 3: He comes out later on and he's got like this

16
00:00:55,095 --> 00:00:57,975
Speaker 3: four me long extension of some conduit and some special

17
00:00:58,095 --> 00:01:01,855
Speaker 3: powder mixed up with a little blowergun and he's just

18
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:06,015
Speaker 3: standing happily four meters away poking this into the thing,

19
00:01:06,295 --> 00:01:08,375
Speaker 3: where as I'm standing there half a meter away with

20
00:01:08,455 --> 00:01:13,255
Speaker 3: two spray cands, thinking this will be fine. I'll be fine. Butichy, gee,

21
00:01:13,295 --> 00:01:13,975
Speaker 3: they get upset.

22
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:18,375
Speaker 2: Those wasps have no sense of humor me about it. No,

23
00:01:18,975 --> 00:01:21,775
Speaker 2: it's terrible, and to be quite honest, it's it's probably

24
00:01:21,815 --> 00:01:24,215
Speaker 2: better to do that at night and let this guy

25
00:01:24,215 --> 00:01:26,055
Speaker 2: who knows everything hold the torch.

26
00:01:29,855 --> 00:01:32,535
Speaker 3: Anyway, I think I've dealt to it. And actually one

27
00:01:32,535 --> 00:01:34,055
Speaker 3: thing I did learn from this is there is a

28
00:01:34,095 --> 00:01:37,015
Speaker 3: thing called wasp powder which you can sort of puff

29
00:01:37,095 --> 00:01:40,855
Speaker 3: into wasp nests and so on. So I dealt with

30
00:01:40,895 --> 00:01:42,575
Speaker 3: that one, and then I went to cut the hedges

31
00:01:43,175 --> 00:01:45,375
Speaker 3: and I think somewhere along the line I cut through

32
00:01:45,375 --> 00:01:46,855
Speaker 3: a wasp nest as well, and that's when I got

33
00:01:46,855 --> 00:01:50,015
Speaker 3: stung off. So there you goes. It was an awesome.

34
00:01:49,735 --> 00:01:53,735
Speaker 2: Day that that's an entomological day. That's right.

35
00:01:54,695 --> 00:01:57,255
Speaker 3: All I feel better now that I've contributed to science

36
00:01:57,295 --> 00:01:57,775
Speaker 3: in some way.

37
00:01:57,815 --> 00:02:00,295
Speaker 2: No good on you, actually to be quiet. What is

38
00:02:00,295 --> 00:02:02,495
Speaker 2: that powder? Because I know there used to be a

39
00:02:02,575 --> 00:02:04,735
Speaker 2: powder in the old days. Is there a new stuff

40
00:02:04,775 --> 00:02:05,735
Speaker 2: out there? Yeah?

41
00:02:05,535 --> 00:02:05,735
Speaker 4: Yeah.

42
00:02:05,975 --> 00:02:08,175
Speaker 3: I had a quick look online and I ended up

43
00:02:08,175 --> 00:02:10,175
Speaker 3: going to my deten yesterday to pick some up. And

44
00:02:10,215 --> 00:02:12,215
Speaker 3: it's just in like a little puffer bottle and you

45
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:14,815
Speaker 3: can just apply lots of pro ethrum. I think in

46
00:02:14,855 --> 00:02:18,135
Speaker 3: there but it will sit around the opening, and then

47
00:02:18,175 --> 00:02:20,735
Speaker 3: as they fly through the opening, they'll pick it up

48
00:02:21,135 --> 00:02:23,455
Speaker 3: and that will be enough to take it into the nest.

49
00:02:23,495 --> 00:02:25,455
Speaker 3: And then if they go to another nest, it'll kill

50
00:02:25,495 --> 00:02:27,055
Speaker 3: that nest as well, is the theory.

51
00:02:27,695 --> 00:02:29,375
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a look at, mister and missus

52
00:02:29,455 --> 00:02:33,535
Speaker 2: m dantasy. Yes, yeah, it's I've lost that. I've lost

53
00:02:33,615 --> 00:02:35,215
Speaker 2: that one somewhere.

54
00:02:35,575 --> 00:02:38,095
Speaker 3: It's out there, so excellent. Good right here, let's get

55
00:02:38,135 --> 00:02:41,175
Speaker 3: amongst it, ladies and gentlemen. Rids here you can call now,

56
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:43,415

Speaker 2: Lynnette?

60
00:02:53,055 --> 00:02:55,855
Speaker 4: Well, I've got in a contained area of astron area.

61
00:02:55,895 --> 00:02:59,295
Speaker 4: I've got some an accrepensuls and a large dandelion flying,

62
00:02:59,335 --> 00:03:02,535
Speaker 4: and I wondered if I cut off and painted with

63
00:03:02,695 --> 00:03:06,095
Speaker 4: strong round up whether it harm the area?

64
00:03:06,575 --> 00:03:08,535
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could. So you're talking about what do you

65
00:03:08,575 --> 00:03:10,375
Speaker 2: want to what do you want to control? Sorry I

66
00:03:10,375 --> 00:03:11,935
Speaker 2: did not get Sorry.

67
00:03:12,415 --> 00:03:16,415
Speaker 4: There's a love handylion and and an egga pans growing in.

68
00:03:16,455 --> 00:03:19,855
Speaker 2: This The agapenta is basically is best dug out of

69
00:03:19,895 --> 00:03:22,535
Speaker 2: the ground to be. If it's an old fashioned agapanthus,

70
00:03:22,975 --> 00:03:24,815
Speaker 2: they are a pain in the bum. If there's a

71
00:03:24,815 --> 00:03:27,855
Speaker 2: little bit left, you really need to keep digging it.

72
00:03:28,415 --> 00:03:31,775
Speaker 4: I think I wouldn't the round up, wouldn't switch down

73
00:03:31,775 --> 00:03:33,055
Speaker 4: in the ropes at all, go down.

74
00:03:34,335 --> 00:03:37,495
Speaker 2: I don't know if roundup would be the quick one

75
00:03:37,575 --> 00:03:41,495
Speaker 2: to go if you have agapanths. Let me have a

76
00:03:41,615 --> 00:03:42,695
Speaker 2: quick look.

77
00:03:42,655 --> 00:03:46,455
Speaker 4: Here, you know, but the stone I can't pull it out.

78
00:03:47,455 --> 00:03:48,215
Speaker 2: Is it that big?

79
00:03:49,255 --> 00:03:53,775
Speaker 4: Well, it's not. It's got about four little growing up.

80
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:56,415
Speaker 4: It's only that come when you fire.

81
00:03:57,055 --> 00:04:01,855
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but you really want to get rid of

82
00:04:01,895 --> 00:04:03,815
Speaker 2: it completely, don't you.

83
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:04,095
Speaker 4: Yep?

84
00:04:04,735 --> 00:04:12,175
Speaker 2: Okay, try try this stuff called associate associate associate. It's

85
00:04:12,255 --> 00:04:15,735
Speaker 2: metsal furrol metha. It's a material that works really well

86
00:04:15,775 --> 00:04:17,655
Speaker 2: on gorge, broom and all sorts of other things. And

87
00:04:17,695 --> 00:04:19,975
Speaker 2: I reckon it will do that too. And if you

88
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:22,855
Speaker 2: really give it a whack one or and maybe another

89
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:25,135
Speaker 2: one in about a week later or two weeks later,

90
00:04:25,575 --> 00:04:30,895
Speaker 2: I think it might not be. It won't be happy, okay.

91
00:04:31,415 --> 00:04:32,095
Speaker 5: And some.

92
00:04:33,895 --> 00:04:35,255
Speaker 4: That's got silvery.

93
00:04:34,895 --> 00:04:38,055
Speaker 2: Ladies, oh no silver leaf.

94
00:04:39,175 --> 00:04:41,255
Speaker 4: And I thought I'll did look it up the other day.

95
00:04:43,135 --> 00:04:43,295
Speaker 6: Off.

96
00:04:44,695 --> 00:04:47,335
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would not. I wouldn't muck around

97
00:04:47,335 --> 00:04:51,175
Speaker 2: with it, get get rid of it and plant another one,

98
00:04:51,215 --> 00:04:56,495
Speaker 2: but not in the same spot. Please. Oh really, I'd

99
00:04:56,535 --> 00:04:58,255
Speaker 2: be a bit careful with that. Yeah.

100
00:04:59,135 --> 00:05:02,495
Speaker 3: Okay, then good luck with that, Lynette, and I think

101
00:05:03,055 --> 00:05:07,215
Speaker 3: associates on your mind as well. Mary, Good morning, Good morning.

102
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:11,055
Speaker 7: You've just a better answer my question. Rud was talking

103
00:05:11,055 --> 00:05:14,895
Speaker 7: about associated kill ivy and I'm wanting to know. Does

104
00:05:14,895 --> 00:05:18,215
Speaker 7: it trends like clay through the ground to other plants.

105
00:05:19,535 --> 00:05:21,975
Speaker 2: No, because you actually take you put your put the

106
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:24,255
Speaker 2: stuff on the on the on the on the leaves,

107
00:05:24,295 --> 00:05:26,495
Speaker 2: if you like, off the plant or whatever you want

108
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:27,975
Speaker 2: to get it. What what do you want to spray for?

109
00:05:28,735 --> 00:05:32,975
Speaker 2: I want no, No, just do that. You'll find it's

110
00:05:33,055 --> 00:05:36,575
Speaker 2: okay as long, especially if the ivy is really dense,

111
00:05:36,775 --> 00:05:38,895
Speaker 2: you'll find it takes and it takes a long time.

112
00:05:39,135 --> 00:05:41,215
Speaker 2: It takes something like two or three months before you

113
00:05:41,295 --> 00:05:45,255
Speaker 2: go like the ivy is gone. How God, there was

114
00:05:45,375 --> 00:05:47,415
Speaker 2: slower than continental drift, you know.

115
00:05:48,135 --> 00:05:50,855
Speaker 7: But I've got a boreham here and the ivy is

116
00:05:50,895 --> 00:05:53,815
Speaker 7: growing through it, and I don't want it to kill

117
00:05:53,855 --> 00:05:55,975
Speaker 7: the Is it a spray or paint.

118
00:05:56,175 --> 00:06:03,055
Speaker 2: It's a spray, okay, so spawn, well, I wouldn't I

119
00:06:03,055 --> 00:06:05,535
Speaker 2: wouldn't like to spray the bit of spoiler minder. I

120
00:06:05,575 --> 00:06:08,135
Speaker 2: don't think that would No.

121
00:06:08,295 --> 00:06:10,855
Speaker 7: I know that, but I just don't want it to

122
00:06:10,975 --> 00:06:13,855
Speaker 7: kill the heedge. It's all and.

123
00:06:13,855 --> 00:06:17,975
Speaker 2: The hedges m and the hedge is pito.

124
00:06:20,575 --> 00:06:21,335
Speaker 7: Growing through it.

125
00:06:21,695 --> 00:06:24,655
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I would if you can spray it only

126
00:06:24,695 --> 00:06:26,735
Speaker 2: on the ivy leaves and not on the pit of

127
00:06:27,135 --> 00:06:30,895
Speaker 2: If you can be that very clever and careful, you

128
00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:33,855
Speaker 2: might be having a good time. But when you start

129
00:06:34,255 --> 00:06:36,895
Speaker 2: getting you know, quite a bit on the on the

130
00:06:36,935 --> 00:06:38,695
Speaker 2: on the on the pit of sporum, you might get

131
00:06:38,695 --> 00:06:39,495
Speaker 2: into trouble with that.

132
00:06:40,575 --> 00:06:43,855
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, okay, well I'll give it a go,

133
00:06:44,135 --> 00:06:44,735
Speaker 7: very cheerfully.

134
00:06:45,415 --> 00:06:49,015
Speaker 2: Yeah. Another thing, of course you can do. Another thing

135
00:06:49,055 --> 00:06:50,655
Speaker 2: you can do is, of course, try and get the

136
00:06:50,695 --> 00:06:53,015
Speaker 2: stuff from way below, get it out there as much

137
00:06:53,055 --> 00:06:56,415
Speaker 2: as you can, and only spray the regrowth away from

138
00:06:56,455 --> 00:06:57,895
Speaker 2: the pit sporum.

139
00:06:58,575 --> 00:07:01,415
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, right, thank you for that, Good.

140
00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:02,255
Speaker 2: Luck, Thank you.

141
00:07:02,575 --> 00:07:04,975
Speaker 3: Must to chat with you and Lynn A very good

142
00:07:04,975 --> 00:07:05,455
Speaker 3: morning to you.

143
00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:11,015
Speaker 8: Hi Roll, Hi guys, I have my I have a

144
00:07:11,015 --> 00:07:13,935
Speaker 8: couple of my daughter's beehives on my property. Now up

145
00:07:14,055 --> 00:07:17,535
Speaker 8: until I have them and I'm happy with them. I've

146
00:07:17,575 --> 00:07:20,815
Speaker 8: had terrible trouble with grass grub and I have one

147
00:07:20,935 --> 00:07:27,175
Speaker 8: and twice a year used a key week here granule, Yes,

148
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:30,815
Speaker 8: and I'm not having any luck. Now. I know there's

149
00:07:30,815 --> 00:07:34,775
Speaker 8: a problem because not everyone does their lawns, so they travel.

150
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:39,015
Speaker 8: Any other suggestions other than sending the hives back to

151
00:07:39,055 --> 00:07:41,055
Speaker 8: her place and treating with something evil.

152
00:07:41,735 --> 00:07:44,815
Speaker 2: Well that you've got that grass grub thing from Keywik Care.

153
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:50,295
Speaker 2: Isn't it a silly prin or something? It's called yates

154
00:07:50,375 --> 00:07:53,215
Speaker 2: have got a grub thing as well for parina and

155
00:07:53,255 --> 00:07:57,415
Speaker 2: things like that. I would try exactly you got it,

156
00:07:58,015 --> 00:08:00,935
Speaker 2: but why wasn't it working? I was wondering.

157
00:08:03,655 --> 00:08:07,095
Speaker 8: My only thought is that, and I put you know,

158
00:08:07,175 --> 00:08:11,935
Speaker 8: I sprinkled on generously and have watered it in because

159
00:08:11,935 --> 00:08:15,295
Speaker 8: there's cats around here. And I got it back again

160
00:08:15,375 --> 00:08:17,815
Speaker 8: this year. Did patches of grass When I pulled them up,

161
00:08:17,855 --> 00:08:19,975
Speaker 8: they come up and they lift the turf off, just

162
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:21,015
Speaker 8: like always.

163
00:08:22,775 --> 00:08:23,455
Speaker 2: Yes.

164
00:08:23,615 --> 00:08:27,095
Speaker 8: Yes, Now, quite a few years ago I contacted you,

165
00:08:27,335 --> 00:08:29,655
Speaker 8: I think with photos. I had something that looked like

166
00:08:29,855 --> 00:08:33,735
Speaker 8: large fleas, huge fleas, fly sized fleas flying in front

167
00:08:33,735 --> 00:08:37,015
Speaker 8: of my house and you said they were a Tasmanian import.

168
00:08:37,655 --> 00:08:41,815
Speaker 8: Are they a different bug that's immune?

169
00:08:42,575 --> 00:08:45,775
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that could that could be the Tasmanian watching

170
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:49,135
Speaker 2: them call it? Yeah, I know what you mean. Do

171
00:08:49,175 --> 00:08:50,535
Speaker 2: you where is it inside?

172
00:08:51,535 --> 00:08:51,695
Speaker 4: Oh?

173
00:08:51,775 --> 00:08:55,215
Speaker 8: They had they were flying and I had about I

174
00:08:55,255 --> 00:08:58,015
Speaker 8: don't know thirty of them inside the ranch slide the windows,

175
00:08:58,015 --> 00:09:00,215
Speaker 8: flying above the table we were playing cards on. I

176
00:09:00,215 --> 00:09:05,575
Speaker 8: couldn't believe my eyes. We killed them. But but yeah,

177
00:09:05,695 --> 00:09:07,335
Speaker 8: so I just wanted with there are a different grass

178
00:09:07,335 --> 00:09:10,615
Speaker 8: grub means different chemicals.

179
00:09:10,055 --> 00:09:13,255
Speaker 2: Or yeah, to be quite honest, no, if the same

180
00:09:13,295 --> 00:09:15,615
Speaker 2: grass croup and the same family, I don't think that

181
00:09:15,695 --> 00:09:18,135
Speaker 2: I think that everything like that we were just discussed

182
00:09:18,135 --> 00:09:18,655
Speaker 2: will work.

183
00:09:20,615 --> 00:09:24,695
Speaker 8: Do they travel? I mean they travel widely because they fly, Yes.

184
00:09:24,535 --> 00:09:27,015
Speaker 2: They do. Yeah, so all grass grubs can fly. All

185
00:09:27,015 --> 00:09:30,055
Speaker 2: the beetles fly, so that's the way. Yeah, they're all

186
00:09:30,055 --> 00:09:32,815
Speaker 2: beetled up species, so they all fly around. But the

187
00:09:32,855 --> 00:09:35,415
Speaker 2: point is, of course they go at some stage under

188
00:09:35,455 --> 00:09:37,455
Speaker 2: your ground, and you really need to do with the

189
00:09:37,495 --> 00:09:41,575
Speaker 2: granules something to get them where they normally have made

190
00:09:41,655 --> 00:09:46,055
Speaker 2: those little those holes if you like what places. Yeah, exactly,

191
00:09:47,255 --> 00:09:49,375
Speaker 2: that's the way to go, honestly, And you're going to

192
00:09:49,415 --> 00:09:50,855
Speaker 2: be really good with your eyes there.

193
00:09:51,855 --> 00:09:53,895
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I think I might send the hives time

194
00:09:53,935 --> 00:09:57,455
Speaker 8: and they really Yeah.

195
00:09:57,695 --> 00:09:59,295
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're careful with the bees.

196
00:09:59,375 --> 00:10:03,095
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, I appreciate your help.

197
00:10:03,175 --> 00:10:04,535
Speaker 2: Thank you, no worries.

198
00:10:05,175 --> 00:10:08,215
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome thing, Thank you very much. Sorry, I'm just

200
00:10:11,175 --> 00:10:12,575
Speaker 3: then I forgot. Now I've got to do it. And

201
00:10:12,575 --> 00:10:18,255
Speaker 3: it's not necessarily gardening related. But in Devenport we've got

202
00:10:18,255 --> 00:10:21,015
Speaker 3: a community workshop called the Clay Store. They're going to

206
00:10:34,335 --> 00:10:37,895

00:11:13,855 --> 00:11:16,055
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do that. We can organize that because

219
00:11:16,095 --> 00:11:18,535

Speaker 2: to Auckland, I can talk to you direct. Get on

221
00:11:24,215 --> 00:11:24,415
Speaker 2: with it.

222
00:11:26,255 --> 00:11:30,535
Speaker 5: That Collington's pre spray that you recommend for ants, et cetera.

223
00:11:32,295 --> 00:11:35,135
Speaker 5: Is it safe to spray in your house rand your

224
00:11:35,135 --> 00:11:37,815
Speaker 5: window sills and where you've got animals, et cetera.

225
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:41,855
Speaker 2: What do you like? What sort of animals?

226
00:11:42,295 --> 00:11:47,215
Speaker 5: Well, we've got a dog, Oh, okay, et cetera. And

227
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:52,935
Speaker 5: we've been told that it's not safe if you've got animals.

228
00:11:53,415 --> 00:11:56,215
Speaker 5: Is it safe and spray like you round your windows?

229
00:11:56,255 --> 00:11:56,855
Speaker 5: Et cetera.

230
00:11:57,415 --> 00:12:00,695
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that as as much

231
00:12:00,815 --> 00:12:03,015
Speaker 2: as that. What I would do is, if you're talking

232
00:12:03,015 --> 00:12:06,615
Speaker 2: about that particular material, you use it only in the

233
00:12:06,735 --> 00:12:08,975
Speaker 2: places where you need to use it. So if you,

234
00:12:09,015 --> 00:12:12,415
Speaker 2: for instance, got insects that are going up into your ceiling,

235
00:12:12,575 --> 00:12:15,255
Speaker 2: you do the ceiling. Dogs won't be affected at all,

236
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:18,535
Speaker 2: and you're spraying when the dog is not inside. I mean,

237
00:12:18,535 --> 00:12:23,015
Speaker 2: those are very sensible things to do, of course, so

238
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:25,495
Speaker 2: don't worry about that if you've got a dog that

239
00:12:25,695 --> 00:12:27,695
Speaker 2: is I remember I had a Jack Russell that would

240
00:12:27,735 --> 00:12:30,615
Speaker 2: lack everything. Not a good idea for the dog either.

241
00:12:31,975 --> 00:12:35,775
Speaker 5: Oh okay, so just use my kneapp and the ceilings

242
00:12:35,775 --> 00:12:37,415
Speaker 5: exeter where you've got answer.

243
00:12:37,975 --> 00:12:39,735
Speaker 2: Oh you want to do? Okay, you want to do

244
00:12:39,815 --> 00:12:43,215
Speaker 2: and control? Yes, in the ceilings, no problem at all.

245
00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:46,375
Speaker 2: You could do that because if it because it lasts

246
00:12:46,415 --> 00:12:50,295
Speaker 2: for two months, those ants have no idea where the

247
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:52,215
Speaker 2: help to go and they can they had to die

248
00:12:52,295 --> 00:12:54,215
Speaker 2: or say no, I'm going next door flower it.

249
00:12:55,015 --> 00:12:58,415
Speaker 5: Oh yes, so don't use it inside like rand your

250
00:12:58,455 --> 00:13:00,175
Speaker 5: windowsill applies, et cetera.

251
00:13:00,935 --> 00:13:03,175
Speaker 2: No, what I would do there is very simple. I

252
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:06,895
Speaker 2: would get a bait, going a bait for the ants.

253
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:10,975
Speaker 2: So you know how ants are always finding something to eat,

254
00:13:11,095 --> 00:13:13,895
Speaker 2: all right, So the bait that I would suggest, I've

255
00:13:13,895 --> 00:13:16,695
Speaker 2: got it. Actually I've got an I've got a thing

256
00:13:16,735 --> 00:13:20,335
Speaker 2: here for them from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries

257
00:13:20,775 --> 00:13:28,135
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty three. Right here, just like that a

258
00:13:28,215 --> 00:13:33,655
Speaker 2: recipe basically, and you can use a bait with a

259
00:13:33,695 --> 00:13:38,255
Speaker 2: low toxicity for humans and pets. Six hundred milli liters

260
00:13:38,295 --> 00:13:46,255
Speaker 2: of water, three hundred grams of sugar yes, sixty grams

261
00:13:46,295 --> 00:13:54,455
Speaker 2: of honey yes, sixty grams of bor x bore x

262
00:13:56,975 --> 00:14:01,375
Speaker 2: x yes, and sixty grams of boric acid. And you

263
00:14:01,455 --> 00:14:03,895
Speaker 2: make it into a so boric acid, and you make

264
00:14:03,935 --> 00:14:06,495
Speaker 2: it into a syrup, and you put that syrup in

265
00:14:06,815 --> 00:14:09,735
Speaker 2: various places, in little containers that the ants can get

266
00:14:09,735 --> 00:14:12,895
Speaker 2: in but nobody else. And basically, because they've got their

267
00:14:12,895 --> 00:14:15,655
Speaker 2: own territory, you know, you'll find that it's a really

268
00:14:16,015 --> 00:14:20,935
Speaker 2: nice material that you can get those ants.

269
00:14:21,335 --> 00:14:24,495
Speaker 5: The one you've talked, the other one has abandon astailua.

270
00:14:24,815 --> 00:14:26,575
Speaker 5: That's Collington's pre sprie.

271
00:14:27,175 --> 00:14:29,495
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it isn't why this is a

272
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:31,775
Speaker 2: different material I'm talking about. No, no it's not. No,

273
00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:32,575
Speaker 2: it's not at all.

274
00:14:33,455 --> 00:14:35,975
Speaker 5: Oh I thought that. Oh okay, I heard a rumor,

275
00:14:36,055 --> 00:14:38,455
Speaker 5: but I wasn't sure. But no, that's fine. That's what

276
00:14:38,535 --> 00:14:39,175
Speaker 5: I wanted to know.

277
00:14:39,735 --> 00:14:43,415
Speaker 2: Also, the lovely sweet bait have it go to help? Yeah?

278
00:14:43,735 --> 00:14:46,575
Speaker 3: Thanks very all the very best, Diane, very good morning.

279
00:14:47,815 --> 00:14:50,935
Speaker 6: He is hello the essay I'm ringing from Blinham's. Yes,

280
00:14:51,695 --> 00:14:57,975
Speaker 6: got a heddrow of ribbon wood, which are probably probably

281
00:14:58,095 --> 00:15:03,735
Speaker 6: six meters tall. And I've also got another he drow

282
00:15:03,975 --> 00:15:06,575
Speaker 6: of ribbon wood which are probably four meters. They're a

283
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:09,895
Speaker 6: bit younger, they're probably five or six years old. Problem

284
00:15:10,055 --> 00:15:14,455
Speaker 6: is they're getting a borer in them. Yeah, and it's

285
00:15:14,775 --> 00:15:16,055
Speaker 6: like tiny wee holes.

286
00:15:16,495 --> 00:15:18,335
Speaker 2: Yeah tiny. I was just going to say that they're

287
00:15:18,415 --> 00:15:19,535
Speaker 2: very small one, isn't it?

288
00:15:20,335 --> 00:15:24,295
Speaker 6: Small hole? And also you can see the brownie really

289
00:15:24,455 --> 00:15:28,775
Speaker 6: fine chewed up stuff around the edges of the holes.

290
00:15:29,175 --> 00:15:31,175
Speaker 6: Now it wouldn't be a problem, but some of them

291
00:15:31,215 --> 00:15:34,575
Speaker 6: are succumbing to it. So some of the mature trees,

292
00:15:34,735 --> 00:15:38,655
Speaker 6: which are as tall as your single story gutter, you know,

293
00:15:38,815 --> 00:15:42,015
Speaker 6: like these are good mature trees. Sure, some of those

294
00:15:42,135 --> 00:15:47,375
Speaker 6: have gradually died and succumbed. And now there's also borer

295
00:15:47,615 --> 00:15:52,255
Speaker 6: in some of the younger ones. And I just think,

296
00:15:53,055 --> 00:15:56,535
Speaker 6: you know how in the fruit tree borer, you know,

297
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:59,895
Speaker 6: you're supposed to squirt something down each hole. Well, there's

298
00:16:00,015 --> 00:16:02,415
Speaker 6: no way in the world you could get into all

299
00:16:02,455 --> 00:16:05,975
Speaker 6: these holes. And is there anything that what would be

300
00:16:06,015 --> 00:16:08,375
Speaker 6: the best thing to spray? To have a go at them?

301
00:16:08,575 --> 00:16:11,415
Speaker 6: Like I imagine that they're probably not going to kill

302
00:16:11,735 --> 00:16:12,775
Speaker 6: all a bug ones.

303
00:16:16,095 --> 00:16:20,375
Speaker 2: I remember there was a material called no borer noor

304
00:16:20,735 --> 00:16:24,255
Speaker 2: from Kiwi Care. Have you heard of Key Good Company

305
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:28,135
Speaker 2: and Kenterbury And basically what they say, I think what

306
00:16:28,255 --> 00:16:30,775
Speaker 2: they normally say with Kiwi Care no borer is to

307
00:16:30,935 --> 00:16:39,015
Speaker 2: treat it by by injecting the flight holes. Yeah, so

308
00:16:39,575 --> 00:16:42,135
Speaker 2: when I know they're small, but if you've got a

309
00:16:42,175 --> 00:16:44,455
Speaker 2: little what oh you know one of those little things

310
00:16:44,495 --> 00:16:47,135
Speaker 2: that you can very small things with the with the

311
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:50,255
Speaker 2: Kiwi Care no boring. If you can go one, two, three, four,

312
00:16:50,535 --> 00:16:53,415
Speaker 2: one after the other as much as you can. That's

313
00:16:53,615 --> 00:16:56,935
Speaker 2: all I can think of, to be quite honest, is.

314
00:16:58,135 --> 00:17:00,695
Speaker 6: Some of the stuffers up on. You know how sick

315
00:17:00,815 --> 00:17:03,535
Speaker 6: ribbon wood are when they're being trimmed to a huge

316
00:17:03,695 --> 00:17:09,615
Speaker 6: like it's just like a circuit. Yeah, would name oil

317
00:17:10,615 --> 00:17:11,375
Speaker 6: be any good or not?

318
00:17:12,775 --> 00:17:15,015
Speaker 2: Kneem oil would be good. But I think I would

319
00:17:15,055 --> 00:17:17,375
Speaker 2: take something that is a bit stronger than that. If

320
00:17:17,415 --> 00:17:22,455
Speaker 2: I were you, I would take something called Actually you

321
00:17:22,655 --> 00:17:27,055
Speaker 2: probably could do that associate that we talked about. Associate,

322
00:17:27,215 --> 00:17:30,015
Speaker 2: which is a material that you use on ivy and

323
00:17:30,135 --> 00:17:36,735
Speaker 2: all sorts of bits and pieces. Oh yes it is.

324
00:17:36,815 --> 00:17:38,655
Speaker 2: Yeah you can't do that. Yeah, no, sorry, you're right.

325
00:17:39,295 --> 00:17:41,735
Speaker 2: I thank god. I was just thinking of getting this.

326
00:17:42,175 --> 00:17:43,975
Speaker 2: I was just thinking of getting these things in a

327
00:17:44,095 --> 00:17:46,295
Speaker 2: really nasty way, and I said, no, it's not good

328
00:17:46,335 --> 00:17:49,215
Speaker 2: for the plant. Now, don't do it. I missed, missed

329
00:17:49,215 --> 00:17:49,935
Speaker 2: it complete.

330
00:17:51,575 --> 00:17:54,055
Speaker 6: What would you use the thing? But the thing with.

331
00:17:55,895 --> 00:17:56,375
Speaker 4: The oil?

332
00:17:58,255 --> 00:18:02,735
Speaker 6: That's only nothing till Watson those bor holes right, because

333
00:18:02,775 --> 00:18:06,455
Speaker 6: once the bor is hatch, don't they fly away? They

334
00:18:06,535 --> 00:18:11,095
Speaker 6: will the proper territorial now come back to they were.

335
00:18:12,495 --> 00:18:14,775
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to be terictorial. I think

336
00:18:14,815 --> 00:18:16,895
Speaker 2: that the females will then lay their eggs on other

337
00:18:16,935 --> 00:18:19,255
Speaker 2: patches of the of the plant, off the tree.

338
00:18:19,455 --> 00:18:25,735
Speaker 6: Okay, last question. They presuming because they like plumb, true,

339
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:27,375
Speaker 6: don't they they like hardwood?

340
00:18:27,855 --> 00:18:31,015
Speaker 2: They will, they will quite a few of things. Yeah,

341
00:18:31,215 --> 00:18:33,255
Speaker 2: that's it. But this is a typical ribbon wood one.

342
00:18:33,335 --> 00:18:37,095
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Do you quite bad for that could be

343
00:18:37,495 --> 00:18:38,575
