Facial Eczema Local Testing

Results are kept current and updated on these graphs, we try and get samples from all our provided areas weekly but sometimes this is not possible and areas may be missed from time to time.

We hope this provides a helpful guideline for your area, but results will differ from your particular property and conditions.

Facial Eczema Spore Counts for the 2025 season as follows:

Early to Mid March – Sporadic levels across the region, with some areas outside our monitor sites in the 50,000-100,000. While our monitor sites still show low to mid levels, but staying consistent… we will see what this warm rain brings!

Mid to Late February – Our monitor sites shot up with the rain we had, but different areas presented with varied results, showing each area has it’s own micro-climate and the importance of testing your own property.

Early to Mid February – Levels are starting to spike with warm overnight temps and a bit of dew in the mornings. Client samples brought in for testing from other areas indicate rising levels as well.

Late Jan – Monitor sites are still presenting low levels, and with the recent cooler temps we’re expecting levels to remain low.

Mid January – Here we go for another season! Samples tested from around the region have indicated low levels of spore activity in the last few weeks.

You are encouraged to bring in your own samples to be tested. Testing at your own location will give you a better understanding of your micro-climate. Every third test is free! Call us on 035441200 to organise.
