","text":"The decision to use an electric wire or tape depends on the purpose of the wire fence and the type of animals in question. High tensile wire fencing is long-lasting, low maintenance, hard-wearing, and with superior conducting capabilities. However, high tensile and steel wire fencing is suitable for slow animals. It is not visible to animals. Thus, they can unconsciously run into the wire and suffer serious injury.\r\rFast moving animals are best contained using electric poly wire fencing. Electric poly wire fencing is in three options; poly rope, poly wire and poly tape. The electric poly tape has enhanced visibility and is a cost-effective method for horse fencing. \r\rElectric wire can carry more power than electric tape, but it also has higher resistance. This means that you will need larger wires to get the same voltage output as you would from smaller wires or tape. More importantly, animals are less likely to test the fence when confined by tape because they can't rub against it as they could with wire. Plus, the tape is much easier to handle and install correctly. For these reasons, the tape tends to cost less.\r\rPoly tapes are sold in varying widths, with the wider tape costing more than, the thinner width versions.\r\rElectric tape is also easier to handle, install, and repair than wire. It is not nearly as heavy or bulky, so animals are less likely to break it by rubbing against it or chewing on it. The tapes are available with high visibility for use as a deer barrier that won't spook them as wires will. The electric poly tape is has a larger width than the poly rope and poly wire. The electric rope is also wider than the poly wire because of the stainless steel woven material added to it.\r\rThe wide the poly tape more highly visible it is but the more likely it can suffer wind damage. In weather conditions experiencing strong winds, a poly wire or poly rope is more suitable.

The decision as to whether or not you need a charger is based on how long of a fence you want and the type of animals that will be contained within it. For lower joule fencing, solar chargers may work just fine, but if you have higher voltage requirements, they will not provide enough power.\r\rFor smaller farms and backyards with only a few animals, an energizer capable of putting out about 3 joules per meter is usually all that is necessary.

The last thing you want to have happened is having your animals escape because your fence was defective or damaged due to using poor-quality materials. \r\rFor electric fencing, you should only use either aluminium or copper conductors. Copper works better but costs significantly more than aluminium does. Aluminium wire is usually grouped into three different categories: high-tensile (Type 1), standard (Type 2), and utility (Type 3). The higher the number, the thicker the wire will be. An important thing to remember is that you can't mix types of aluminium together. If you have a standard-gauge wire and want to increase the strength, you need to go to a higher-tensile wire.

If you need higher voltage, you will need additional sets of cables spliced together with connectors designed specifically for that purpose.\r\rElectric poly rope fencing products are sold in different colours to make them highly visible.

This type of solution will damage the surface causing discolouration in the future. Take care to avoid any kind of acidic cleaner - these can cause staining problems over time if used to clean sandstone paving, due to reactions between acids and calcium carbonate found in limestone paving.\r\rIf you do want to use some kind of sandstone cleaner to clean your sandstone pavers then consider diluted vinegar or soda crystals (sodium bicarbonate). This type of cleaner is a safer option for cleaning sandstone surfaces that will not damage your sandstone pavers like bleach can.

If this continues unchecked over a long period of time then not only will it cause staining and discolouration but also you run the risk that acid from the mould itself could start etching into the stone's surface which would weaken it. \r\rMould is usually present in dark patches that look like discolouration.\r\rIf you want to clean the mould and algae from your sandstone paving then the first step is to ensure that your sandstone tiles are not regularly getting wet and damp underneath. Sandstone has a porous nature, and a permeable sandstone patio surface will allow water to drain through easily and can help prevent moisture problems, as well as helping to avoid problems such as black mould which loves a high level of moisture. You may also find that there is a risk of some sandstone tiles lifting if the earth beneath them stays constantly wet over a long period of time. If tiles are lifting from the ground, touch the bottom of the pavers or the earth below to see if it is damp or wet.\r\rClean off any loose debris like leaf litter and other vegetation on sandstone pavers before starting work on cleaning the mould and algae - do this with just water and a soft brush. Using harsher chemical is a good way to damage the surface of your sandstone paving.\r\rThe next step in cleaning black mould is to scrub it clean with a dilute solution of vinegar or soda crystals - this solution will kill off much of the mould, leaving just discolouration on areas where there has been a lot of growth. To do so, mix equal parts of vinegar/soda crystals with water. If it's not effective you can add another part of vinegar to the mixture. Keep adding one part vinegar and testing until you're satisfied with the solution.\r\rOnce you have rubbed off any remaining patches or areas of mould and algae clean, wipe away any remaining solution with a mop, soft cloth, or towel. You should be able to make out faint outlines where the damage was done - these are usually quite dark and greasy looking because they are stained by dirt rather than being discoloured limestone itself. If you cannot clean such a stain completely then using a penetrating sealer to seal it in. These types of sealers might reduce stain visibility over time. Additionally, the sealer will also help protect your sandstone from other types of damage, and increase the longevity of the sandstone. The New South Wales Department of Health has some great information on natural products that kill mould.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you clean natural stone around a pool?","text":"Natural stone pool surrounds need regular cleaning to avoid the build-up of algae and other gunk which will cause discolouration.\r\rA professional can clean your sandstone paving for you.

You should then be able to keep up the good work by cleaning and washing down sandstone tiles at least once a year with just water from your garden hose to remove any surface grime that forms over time - this should also help prevent black mould from growing on your stones. Once you have it looking great, give the pool fence a quick go-over.\r\rDo not try cleaning the natural stone around pools with anything too harsh or acidic because this could cause damage, removing the colouring and etching into the surface of your sandstone pavers.

This is usually because they are stained with something which has made its way into your sandstone tiles over time, for example, it could be caused by long-term exposure to oil or some other kind of contaminant which has been spilled onto your sandstone tiles and soaked in.\r\rTry cleaning any affected area with just water from your garden hose first, to see what changes - if you notice some improvement then you will definitely need to do something else for cleaning away the rest of the dirt. \r\rAfter that, give your sandstone pavers a thorough cleaning using just water and soda crystals - this kind of cleaning product is excellent at breaking down stains naturally so it's best to use it first before trying anything stronger. Once you have done that there are two options for how to finish the cleaning job:\r\rIf the stains are still visible after everything else has been tried then an acid-based solution can be applied by spray or brush onto any particularly stubborn area which won't shift.

They have piercing and sucking mouthparts that allow them to feed on microscopic plant life such as algae, fungi, and lichens. These pests don't pose a threat to human beings but can enter our homes through open windows or by using concealed openings such as cracks around the home's foundation.\r\rTermites belong to a species called Blattodea, which means cockroach-like, as they share some physical characteristics with roaches. Unlike roaches, termites live in large social groups with several types of termites.\r\rThere are over 2000 species of termite known to exist, the most common being subterranean that live underground in colonies consisting of approximately 3 million members. Subterranean termites maintain their nest by chewing wood fibre into a fibrous pulp then ingesting it through special stomachs called pseudogyne. They used symbiotic bacteria to digest the cellulose components turning them into carbohydrates. The workers feed on this substance while maintaining and building their colony or nest. This is what makes termites destructive because they chew away at wooden structures slowly but surely until their presence becomes visible when swarms of winged termites appear in a search for new places to colonise and build new nests.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you know if you have booklice?

Although these are not dangerous pests, they can be a nuisance since they reproduce quickly and invade your living spaces. A pest control company will help you get rid of them permanently without too much disruption to your home or business premises.\r\rSince booklice survive in areas where the relative humidity levels are high, ensure low levels of moisture in your indoor conditions.

In contrast, heat treatments cook and kill these before they can reproduce within their colonies. This makes controlling termites harder as there might not be just one colony, so eliminating them completely might prove impossible unless you know precisely how many colonies exist.\r\rWhen termite baits are used, the termite workers feed on the bait. They carry the lethal chemical with the food back to the nest. After feeding other termites, the entire colony gets infected, including the soldier termites, the queen, and the termite larvae. Using this approach, it is possible to destroy entire termite colonies, including adult and young termites.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Are booklice common in homes?","text":"Yes, booklice are common pests in homes and businesses, so being familiar with what they look like is important.
