Farm sheds and workshops are essential working spaces—but they’re also prime real estate for pests. With shelter, warmth, and easy access to food, sheds can quickly attract rodents, insects, and birds that damage equipment, contaminate feed, and create costly clean-ups. The good news? A few smart prevention steps can make a big difference.

When you’re building a new home, irrigation is often an afterthought—until the lawn starts struggling. The truth is, the best time to plan your irrigation system is before the turf is laid, not after. Getting it right early saves money, avoids rework, and sets your landscape up for long-term success.

Choosing the right irrigation method can make the difference between thriving plants and constant frustration. One of the most common questions we hear is: drip or spray? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each system has strengths—and knowing where each wins will help you water more efficiently and get better results.

Summer in the Central West NSW means long days, warm nights—and a sharp increase in pest activity. As temperatures rise, insects and rodents become more active, breeding cycles speed up, and homes provide the perfect shelter, food, and moisture they’re looking for. Knowing what’s active now (and acting early) can save you a lot of stress and damage later in the season.

If your sprinklers are dribbling, your drippers barely drip, or your system works great in one zone and terrible in the next, you’re probably dealing with a pressure and flow problem. In irrigation, “pressure” is the push, and “flow” is the volume. You need both for a watering system to perform properly. That’s where pump systems come in.

If your lawn is relying on an old sprinkler system that was “good enough” a decade ago, chances are it’s wasting water, missing spots and costing you money. With hotter, drier summers and rising water bills, now is the ideal time to upgrade – especially before the worst of the heat sets in. Here is why giving your old system a makeover is such a smart move.

When pests show up, it’s tempting to reach for a quick DIY fix you’ve seen online or on a late-night ad. Ultrasonic plug-ins, vinegar sprays, DIY “bug bombs” – they all promise fast, easy results. The reality is very different. In many cases, these options don’t solve the problem and can even make it worse. Here are some common DIY pest myths – and what actually works instead.

When pests move into your home, they don’t just stroll through the front door with a suitcase. They slip in quietly through the small gaps and hidden corners we rarely think about. Here are the top 5 places pests sneak into a home – and what to watch for.
