    rosemummy soz to say it isn't the big fat ones that do most of the damage it's the tiny little black beggars that harm my plants & the blue pellets are too large for their greedy little mouths image

    Even the ducks won't eat the beer soaked one's. I must have reduced the population well in the last week. I've got a photo of one nights haul, but people might be eating breakfast.

  • Hmm think i`ll give the coffee grinds and eggshell idea a try. That would also act as a type of compost when it breaks down too? minerals etc?
