Pest Control in Whanganui
The flies, wasps and fruit flies common in Whanganui — and the reusable, chemical-free traps that handle them.
Whanganui's mild riverside climate and surrounding farmland keep house flies and wasps active through the warmer months, while the region's older housing stock can attract cluster flies each winter. The river and rural surroundings sustain steady fly populations, and wasps thrive in sheltered gardens. Reusable, chemical-free traps are valued by Whanganui's practical, waste-conscious 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.
