Don’t leaf it to the last minute! Eucalyptus leaves are incredibly flammable due to the high oil content. Hence why we always stress the importance of cleaning the gutters and valleys on your roof to reduce the risk of bushfires. Lack of gutter cleaning can also lead to other problems. If the gutters are filled with leaves and debris, chances are the water will overflow and seep into the facias, roof, windows and other unwanted places, promoting mould, rust, wood rot and leaks. Cleaning out the leaves will also help eliminate insects and creepy crawlies from lingering around your home!
