    Radiator trick is a good one. I used to just leave trays on the windowsill and wonder why germination was so patchy, turns out the temperature drops overnight were killing half of them. Even just a few days of bottom heat makes a massive difference for chillies especially.

    Where could I move this to?

    i think depends on your area as if the insects are already around small amounts can still be found and used. most of what im planting is around in the area already just not in the village anymore

    Vine weevil grub

    the vine weevil specific one is acetamiprid which is more hazardous than deltamethrin and should be respected. apply at least 3 months before any flowering as the flowers become poisonous to bees....
