Pest Control in Queenstown
The flies, wasps and fruit flies common in Queenstown — and the reusable, chemical-free traps that handle them.
Queenstown's alpine climate means a shorter pest season, but summer visitors and warm days bring wasps to the lakefront gardens, reserves and picnic spots. Cluster flies are a genuine winter problem in the region's older homes and holiday houses, and house flies are active in the warmer months. Reusable, chemical-free traps are valued by Queenstown's tourism and lifestyle community.

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.
