Geoff Fergusson - Our Guest Inventor

At Milford School we had an inventor called Geoff come to talk to all of the Year 6's.  He has explained how his amazing inventions work and he told us about his inventor’s life. One of his inventions is a non-toxic pest trap.  It is called 'Atractem' and the yellow plastic attracts whiteflies which can get stuck on the cooking oil it has been dipped in.  This pest control system is environmentally friendly as it can be washed and used over again. It stops harmful chemicals from needing to be used on tomato plants which whiteflies damage.  His inventions were very interesting and useful.  His family are inventors too and he showed us a book of inventors including his family and himself.  We gave him a warm welcome to the Milford Primary School.
Eureka! Inventors and Inventions.
