Plastic is one of the most versatile materials that we make use of. They are all around us, whether we’re at home, at work, when we go shopping and even when we’re on holiday. However, the prevalence of plastic also means that we have large amounts to then dispose of. Moreover, recycling plastic is very important, but why?

You spend so much time, effort and money on the home of your dreams. So why should you face the compromise of having to deal with the nuisance of rodents putting a denton your comfort. That’s why it’s extremely important to be aware of rodent infestation and the damage that can be caused. Rodents constantly gnaw on objects, ruining your personal property. They also carry and transmit various diseases. So, it’s not only your property that’s at stake; it’s your health as well. Rodents are problematic in any setting; so that leaves the all-important question: How do these rodents actually get there? Well, here are the top 8 ways they invade your property along with a pictorial representation of their pathways. Through openings into crawlspaces. Through gaps underneath doorways. Entering from unscreened windows. Unsealed exterior attic entries. From unscreened roof vents. Through 1/4” holes or larger on siding. Trees or bushes less than 6” from your property.

Once in a while you come across an extraordinary human being, who takes it upon himself to go above and beyond to protect what others so freely take for granted; Mother Earth. We first met Jayantha of Katana Upcycle a few weeks ago. Under the blazing heat, in a roadside stall, trying to create awareness about his 100% recycled stationary products. What caught our attention the most is the humility he possessed and his utmost dedication to saving our planet by recycling waste products and creating something reusable. We then visited him at his home/work place and was amazed to find what he accomplished with such little resources. Jayantha goes personally to collect raw material (waste). Together with some folks from the neighborhood, they prepare the components necessary. With the end result being, outstandingly beautiful stationary products. The drive and passion Jayantha has for what he believes in, can only be described as […]

Mosquitoes are aquatic insects which are notorious for spreading dangerous deceases such as Dengue, Filarial, Malaria & Japanese Encephalitis. They breed in water and after a complete metamorphosis reach adulthood, at which time, they become a nuisance and a vector. Sri Lanka itself has been plagued by Mosquito afflicted diseases severely over different time durations over the past few years. In some cases, they have turned out to be quite fatal taking away the lives of plenty. Like any disease, early identification and control is key to treating them, although being mindful and preventing them is a more favourable outcome. Mosquito treatments are generally divided into two (02) segments i.e. Larvae Control Treatment – Treatment is carried out to water pools or containers of all sizes. They breed in clear water as well as contaminated water, depending on the species. Adult Mosquito Control – Though it is the female mosquito […]

The general norm is that, higher the floor - lower the risk of termites reaching the top. The notion of termites living only beneath the floor has been proven wrong, with the increased damage, termites have caused to apartments and other high rise buildings in Sri Lanka.

Pest infestation in Sri Lanka is not considered a serious threat unless Dengue causalities are on a rise or properties have been destroyed due to termite damage. Hence the real problem gets swept under the carpet more often than not and by the time the citizens realise the problem, it is often too late.
