Pest Control in Cromwell
The flies, wasps and fruit flies common in Cromwell — and the reusable, chemical-free traps that handle them.
Cromwell's warm, sunny Central Otago climate and surrounding stone-fruit orchards and vineyards make it prime wasp and fruit fly territory through the summer months. The region's hot, dry days keep house flies active around bins and outdoor living. Reusable, bee-safe traps are essential for Central Otago's growers and beekeepers.

Buzzy The AI App GotchaPest - AMAZING!!
I have had issues with flies on our lifestyle propeorty for a long time and I bought all those cheap products from Bunnings and Mitre 10 but they never solved the issue. The game changer that this crowd has is the app that has a vast community of recipes. Best of all, they use ingredients from my pantry!

Could see the fly hotspot on my street
Logged my catches on the community map and could see there was a clear fly hotspot on our street — turns out a neighbour had uncontained compost. Got them sorted and fly numbers dropped across the whole street. That's the community angle you don't get from a regular trap.
