Quick update on ants. I applied sugar/Borax mixture in 6 places around the house yesterday. All of them were colony locations. I spent extra time tracing their roots. Today inspection: zero activity observed. Literally zero. Works like magic. So, ... Read More

Quick ants update. I鈥檓 not a specialist on insects but i assume Vietnamese small ants can鈥檛 travel much of a distance. In our cafe (where everything was properly sealed and repainted) I still can鈥檛 spot any of them but at the ... Read More

You are god damn right! (c) We started a year ago by introducing them to expensive and powerful high pressure cleaner. Before that ice chillers had a finger width mold layer. All the family adopted the technique and bought their own. Now we are ... Read More

Nah. Science work everywhere. If there are no gaps and borax used to kill colony plus place kept clean - they will go away. You can not get rid of them completely but you can cut their population big time. We have a small production kitchen and ... Read More

Well, like in Australia, there is a buyer for your service. I鈥檓 not a cheap guy in Australia and I earn my bread and butter working for premium households. Of course they expect superior quality which will last. Cheap Chinese painters sleep ... Read More

That may be true but my comment was based on wage rates and education and training requirements. Union journeyman painters in the US make about $20/hr while journeyman carpenters, plumbers, and electricians make over $30.For Australia, painters ... Read More

It鈥檚 very sad to hear ( Australians painters (especially licensed ones) are true experts in decoration. Capable to convert a brick wall to a piece of art. Plus never forget, painting is much more than adding a color to a surface. It鈥檚 ... Read More

Can I ask for exact address? I already gave up on finding tools. $600 worth parcel from Australia arrives next Friday. But I still have hope in finding decent quality paints and undercoats. I tried Dulux - rubbish. Maxilite- even worse. Still ... Read More

I鈥檓 not going to paint myself. I鈥檓 thinking to organize a shop supplying tools and paints. Plus maybe painter鈥檚 school. No offense but quality these $300 guys doing is below any compromise. Plus somehow, in very wet and moldy ... Read More

Yeah I understand it鈥檚 not Australia or USA around and I鈥檓 not even hoping to find a 鈥淗ome depot class鈥� store around. What I mean is that all local painters I saw so far were using very basic tools or no tools at all. No ... Read More
