I was going to make a smart remark about "what sunshine?" when I realise we have just had 2 sunny days for the first time in weeks, so maybe that is teh reason :-). -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

Pleased to hear it, ours outside got slugged in all the wet so are going to be late this year. More seedlings in the greenhouse so should have a better display next year. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

I have no idea how they got in! IME they live in walls, under terraces etc. and are almost impossible to get rid of. That said, while they're not pleasant to see around the kitchen in any great numbers and they can nip, if disturbed, they don't spread disease or do any real harm that I'm aware of. In my early days on urg, I seem to remember someone suggesting sprinkling Vim or Ajax powder (can one still find it?) around the places they travel. I tried that and it did seem to work. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Yes, all they need is a tiny crack through to something like the cavity wall. We had never noticed them, then one year they suddenly swarmed and flew from behind a window frame: it was a bit like some horror film. But that was it, nothing since then - they probably noticed their mistake and found the way to the great outdoors.... -- Klara, Gatwick basin |
