Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Great to see that you've got such positive action from them..

I live in Qld and havent sprayed here for years
I got geckos running around everywhere inside and out
I set up led ,garden lights, on a timer, under the house, to attract geckos and deter termites
I've got no spiders or cockroaches.

Neighbour who is selling out had the pest control dudes around the other day , and I got very nervous having read this thread.
But all good and the wind was in ther right direction thank goodness
Its something to worry about for sure

If a service provider is 100% authorized and licensed and if they are using a chemical that effect badly on your pets, then they have to compensate with you.

Hi Shane, pretty old thread here but what the heck.

That's the way it's supposed to work but it can be difficult to prove the actual cause sometimes and the people that do the spraying can be reluctant to fess up. Keep in mind you're talking with a group in Australia and their laws might be different.

probably worth the bump as it is weed and pest spray season here in Aust. at the moment.
Always good to remind ourselves of these things.

Due to get someone in myself - termites are getting a little too cosy.

In addition to above posts on pest control (with Spring in Australia and people getting lawns sprayed)....

A number of turf management Herbicides including BASF Stomp and Bayer Spearhead also have high eco-toxicity for aquatic life, aquatic plants and fish..

These are often used for commercial lawn weed control along with Roundup.

Application by mist spray so need to be careful if getting people to spray these around your house or neighbours.
