Roaches!!!

If you have cockroaches at home (or anywhere else), you are most certainly not alone. Cockroaches and spiders have had a bumper summer and they're not showing and signs of slowing down so far this autumn.
At this point, it's worth introducing a short educational note. In the image above you will see two different species of cockroach. The top guy is Drymaplaneta Semivitta, otherwise known as the Gisborne cockroach; the woodroach (forestry term); or more commonly as the "aaagghhh there's an enormous cockroach in the bedroom/kitchen/bathroom". While they can be disturbing for some people to encounter unexpectedly at close quarters, this roach is absolutely harmless. People don't like them but they're solitary and they have no bad habits in terms of infesting food, carrying disease etc. If you have them inside, it generally means they want to get out of the rain. We at Green Agenda quietly admire them as being a high order bug, right up amongst the praying mantises, cicadas and dragonflies. 
The other guy is 
Blattella Germanica, better known as the German cockroach and also "those horrible little brown ones that scuttle around behind the fridge" - he's potentially more of a problem. These guys do actively seek food to infest and they can carry disease in the right circumstances. If you have them inside, you ought to act decisively to eradicate them from your home.
If you have cockroaches of any variety, just give us a call, and we'll move them along quickly and quietly, and using the right technique to match the species.

Believe it or not, it's actually Autumn

Autumn is upon us but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise!
While it is unseasonally warm, the leaves are certainly starting to fall. I know this to be so because we're clearing a great many of them from people's spouting!
Autumn is a wonderful time of year to get your spouting under control and your roof treated. Doing both jobs as a single project right now makes a lot of sense; for one thing, winter rain will be able to run efficiently through the spouting and for another, the same rain will clean up the roof gently once the treatment has done its good work on the lichen and algae.
We love autumn here at GA - it's a beautiful time of year and it's a great season to get things nicely organised before the winter comes.
Give us a call anytime to discuss your roof, your spouting, washing your house or anything else you think we may be able to help with.
