'If' I've heard right, something called neonicotinoids (sp) are to be
banned. Does anyone know what products will disappear from garden centre
shelves?

Don't know for certain that the ban is going ahead. The evidence seem
conflicting, even though a lot of people are convinced.
See http://tinyurl.com/bsuywct for lots of references on the
likelihood of a ban happening. The following list of neonicotinoids
comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonicotinoid

Acetamiprid
Clothianidin
Dinotefuran
Imidacloprid
Nitenpyram
Thiacloprid
Thiamethoxam

As to the pesticides containing these chemicals, this list from The
Soil Association:

Thanks for that Chris. I think I've got a Bug Gun in the shed. Will dispose
of it when I find out how.
