Guest Owen Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 paddymacyou are right that Jeyes is a good product but it is not the best thing to deal with mites and spiders. As I have said before, mites and spiders can be hard to kill so the best products are chemical sprays so that they will absorb the poisons through their skins. During the Summer when the moths and flies are about I use Ardap which leaves a residue on the surfaces of the loft and that controls these nuisances really well. The main down side of Ardap is that it is a horrible stuff to breath in an enclosed space so you need to be very careful with it.
paddymac Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 Owen thankyou for your reply, were do you obtain Ardap from without searching Ebay

THE FIFER Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 yes salt is the best or as said beer, another is sand from the beach, which has salt in it,

I know it's off topic had the gas board out last week doing some work. expletive remove now have app on phones and iPads to control boiler what next i had a shot at it Billy , it didnt look very neat at all . the more i looked at it the less i liked it . i could also see a major flaw. although it would prevent the slug crossing it , nothing to stop them going up the side of the doorway and in that way ?? will look to see what the "copper strip" is like that DWH suggested ? aye , off topic . how technology has changed eh .central heating (what a laugh) when i was a boy my Mother would place a candle in the middle of the floor during the Winter. my brothers and i would sit around it , and if it was very cold , she would light it

Roland Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Slugs! A good fisherman will take them off you. The black are brilliant for catching chub. The greeny / yellows ones are also good bait for fishing with. Best bait for pike / zander is a live mouse. Best bait for the run of the mill are spiders.
Guest johnhunter Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 roland what bait would you suggest for trout ?
