    They are in my garden - in abundance - I hasselled a few off my verbascum (now of course mostly only stalks :mad: ) and left them in a prominent place for the birds but they were ignored by the birds.

    Where are my frogs when I need them?

    Does anybody know if its worth spraying them now they are so big?

    Thanks.

    Well done on a cracking name 'flounce' one of my favourite sounding words. :D

    Thanks Banana Man for the welcome and for liking my name. An ex-boss nicknamed me 'flounce' because I do, apparently!

    A favourite-sounding word of mine is 'lascivious'.
    :wink:

    Thank you Poppy for your mothball advice - I'll remember that advice for next year. :D
