House Flies seeminglyh impervious to fly spry

Adrian from Papamoa Beach

Have other people noticed that over the past few weeks the way house flies seem a great deal harder to kill with usual house sprays than they were when the temperatures were higher.

Does anyone have any advice on which sprays work best? I have been using Mortein Power Gard, and Fast Knockdown to little avail, The same flies just fly about till I spray them about four or five times, and directly on them!

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank

Anna from Mount Maunganui

Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply for this loan - even if they think they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing

You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of their website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.

It is very difficult to apply for after you have purchased items, so needs to be applied for in the quoting stage. If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
