Swarm season is well and truly upon us!
I have already retrieved one swarm from a grateful friends property, and have heard anecdotes from others of swarms they have seen this spring. If you see a swarm flying, or congregated on a tree or other structure, please call me on 021731354.
If they are flying through the air, you can try to make them land by banging a pot with a hammer, or something like that. The clanging noise apparently simulates thunder, and they land because of it. I don't know whether it actually works, having never done it myself - it may just be an old wives' fable. But worth a try, nevertheless!

At Heartland Bank, we share Neighbourly’s commitment to Kiwi communities and we’re proud to offer seniors the opportunity to stay in the home they love.

A house is more than bricks and mortar and a community is more than a boundary on a map; both are full of memories and comfortable connectedness. If your parent is having a tough time making ends meet, but don’t want to sell their home to fund the things they need or want, consider talking to them about releasing some equity in their home with a Heartland Reverse Mortgage.
