☀️ TOWNSVILLE IS WARMING UP… AND SO ARE THE PESTS! 🐜🪳🕷️

With Townsville temperatures pushing close to 30°C already & its only just the beginning of Spring.... we’re well and truly heading back into the warmer North Queensland weather — and that means pest activity is on the rise!

As temperatures increase, you will start noticing more ants, cockroaches, spiders and other unwanted pests becoming active in and around your home & business.

Don’t wait until a few pests turn into an infestation.

Being proactive with pest control gives you the best chance of keeping pest activity under control before the heat, humidity and summer conditions really kick in.

Most of you know me as Wally's wife or Mrs Wally's Weather .

Or as one of the admins quietly keeping an eye on Wally's Weather.

Or perhaps as the person behind many of the photos that appear on this page. Capturing the beauty of North Queensland has become one of my favourite things to do.

But what you probably don't know is... that's never actually been my full-time job.

For more than 20 years I've been leading local organisations through growth, change, governance, strategy and operational improvement.

I've worked with charities, community organisations, government and purpose-driven businesses. I've led teams through disasters, major transformations and some incredibly challenging times.

Over the years, one thing has become really clear. Most organisations don't struggle because people don't care. They struggle because good people become overwhelmed.

Business owners wear every hat. Leaders spend so much time putting out today's fires that there's no time to build tomorrow. Boards want to do the right thing but don't always have the support they need.

And somewhere between the vision and the reality......a gap appears.

That's why I've launched The Governance Gap.

Not to write reports that gather dust. Not to create dependence. But to work alongside organisations, helping them build the leadership, governance and operational capability to become stronger, more sustainable and more confident in where they're heading.

If you're a small business, a not-for-profit, a social enterprise or a values-led organisation that wants practical support or fractional leadership from someone who's walked the path before, I'd love to connect. You will find me on Facebook and Linked In.

And if you've enjoyed my photos, supported Wally's Weather over the years, or simply believe in backing local businesses, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could follow The Governance Gap, share this post or tag someone who might need some help.

I'd love to finish with a question...

What's one challenge in your organisation that everyone knows needs attention... but somehow never makes it to the top of the list?

A single breeding pair of rats and their rapidly maturing offspring can theoretically multiply into more than 1,200 rats in just 12 months if conditions are favourable.

In North Queensland, rodents are active year-round, with population increases commonly seen during the wet season and again through the cooler months as they seek food, shelter and warmth inside homes and businesses.

Once rodents gain access, they can cause extensive damage. Because their teeth never stop growing, they constantly gnaw on electrical wiring, timber, plumbing, insulation and plastics, increasing the risk of costly repairs and even electrical fires.

The key to successful rodent management isn't simply placing bait. It starts with identifying how rodents are entering your property, eliminating harbourage where possible, to prevent populations from establishing in the first place.

Recent changes to Australian rodenticide legislation have also changed the way professional baiting programs are managed.

Choosing the right bait, placing it correctly and complying with current regulations requires knowledge and experience. Professional rodent management not only delivers better long-term results, but also helps minimise risks to children, pets, native wildlife and the environment.

We use compliant baiting strategies, secure tamper-resistant bait stations, ongoing monitoring and tailored recommendations to provide safe, effective, long-term rodent management, not just a quick fix.
