    Would it be possible to buy the big one and share it?

    Well if @SherwoodArrow wants to share a pack I'm up for it (as long as I can cancel my order!) The trouble is you have to use it more or less immediately.

  • I’ve have been talking to my neighbour about vine weevils, she had a “bug” in the garden ( a weevil) and didn’t know want it was. We are going to share the big pack of nemasys between us as we already share the weevils! 

    @Loxley, great idea but you have to use it as soon as you add water don’t you? And my watering cans got a leak 😂.

    Id like some sort of zapper to deal with the neighbour who insists on driving down our cul de sac much faster than necessary. Remote controlled ejection seat, or automatically deflating tyres?

    Ooo, I'd like a zapper for motorcycle 16 / 60 yr old racer boys on Choppers who have souped up their bikes and exhausts with cherry bombs or whatever to make them even more annoying than they already are. Roaring through the sleeping neighbourhood at 3-4am to make the most disturbance they can. I fantasise about nets of caltrops attached to street lights that drop from overhead when a roarer is spotted by motion detectors, or air rifles situated in bushes that would blow out tyres, or camoflaged pits that slide open in the road, full of snakes (non lethal) to properly freak out selfish d'heads into never looking at a motorbike again.

    I'd also like a sonic gadget to dissuade just the types of bastard slugs that eat my flowers, in the manner of anti cat, fox and deer devices. The person who invents this kind of species-specific anti-slug widget will be a gazillionaire.

    I’m sure I read, some years ago, about a sonic device that could only be heard by young people, and was being trialled for crowd control. Made them feel sick and disorientated. I wonder what became of that? Probably wouldn’t work now as they’d all have their earphones in....
    The boy racers wouldn’t be able to hear it above their engines.

    Something that could  be attached to a motorbike, that throbs between the legs of losers who could do with a boyfriend or girlfriend

    Yes, I read about that too. It was used to stop them congregating in "unhelpful" places. If it works for cats and foxs, no reason why it wouldn't work for people..

    Plenty of gadgets on Amazon for that kind of thing - not sure about the motorbike bit, but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to attach with some duct tape. No doubt there are groups out there who specialise in this kind of thing.
