My neighbour prefers the 'kettle full of boiling water' method.

I'll stick with the gel and powder - they seem to like it!

The main area where I put down gel and powder is completely clear now.

Indoors gel, outdoors will remain a free fire zone with acetone or hand held engine start spray, ether is a fine liquid in aerosol form.

Tried to book my Covid jab.

Fecking NHS site is trying to send me to a vaccination centre in Downham Market or in Wisbech, which is fecking idiotic, considering there's one 5 miles away in Ely.

FFS!!!

Could be worse I suppose, a friend who lives a couple of villages along was sent to Huntingdon.

I have in the past used a product called Deathlac Spray on surface and it forms a lacquer surface which kills on contact.I don’t know if it’s still on sale.

Dethlac spray still exists.. Wilko, Wickes etc 👍🏼

Dethlac, missing an A but I don't think the lac (no K) sells it for me. Deathcertain or maybe Certaindeath and I am in.

Nice supper of omelette Arnold Bennett, plus what was left of last night's tabbouleh and roasted veggies

The girls shared a pouch of Felix AGAIL with lamb.

Enjoyed a nice leisurely 40 miler this evening after work. Lovely, bright and sunny but actually very chilly, lucky I had a windproof layer and spare woolly hat buried in the depths of my saddle bag.

I'm still not getting the brand name, "Dethlac"? Sounds like lacks death, I would be paying money for mass deaths not a lack of.

I would guess it's a combination of the chemical agent and lacquer.. Maybe possibly perhaps? 🤔

If I remember rightly, insects breathe through openings in their thorax and abdomen - chemical agents ergo not needed, just something that sticks to them and blocks their spiracles.

Hairspray should do the job.

I use similar products in various forms. I try to get them outside before they come inside. they are amazing creatures, so long as they stay a safe distance from the house. I also like the gel in a syringe type applicator. it's quite effective

Boric Acid, mainly. Safe when used as directed.

We had snow today, but it mostly melted as soon as it fell. Finished off with graupel showers. Now the cold will move in. It has mostly been about 1 or2C here today.
