This episode is our third instalment of talking insecticides with Mark Linton from Renovo Technologies and this time we cover the final stage of an insecticide product- the tank mix. Whether it be in our petrol powered bulk tank, our battery operated knapsack sprayer or a pneumatic hand sprayer this is all about the solution or emulsion we have prepared in that tank. How to mix it, what to mix with it, the effects of different water types, the life expectancies of our tank mixes and even the potential effects on different surfaces. This is another technical episode which is bound to get the brain ticking and make us all realise it's a lot more complicated than we thought! 

This episode is the first of a series of podcasts where I turn some of my favorite written articles into podcasts. Killing ants you can see is easy!, but killing ants you can't see is the tricky part! So this episode I go through my top ten tips for treating ants to hopefully improve your success rate with managing these challenging critters!

This week we chat to Asita Devi Deo from Fastkil Fiji, winner of Pest Manager of the year- South Pacific category and winner of the women's Excellence award. Running a pest control business with over 50 employees is challenging enough let alone having to do it in Fiji where there is no licensing body or Registered Training Organisations. That is why we see Asita so frequently here in Australia, learning as much as she can to take back and share with her team and the pest management industry in Fiji. We learn all about pest management in Fiji, the type of pests, the type of methods and we soon learn that the challenges are not much different to here in Australia. Asita Devi Deo is an absolute pocket rocket and it is easy to see why she has been recognised with so many awards over the past 10 years and been in business over 20 years!
