I stood on one and it SURVIVED it was such a monster, I then jumped on it and you could hear the crunch in the next Parish

Maybe next time you'll be a bit more particular who you bring home after a night out.

we have had 3 so far this year. I never kill them, glass and paper and wife makes me walk about 100m down the road and too cross over before throwing. The 3rd got eaten by Dexter the Spaniel.

Horse chestnuts are indeed effective, it is a vital part of the exercise though to drill or cut the equine name-linked kernel in order that the chemical our eight legged chums find difficult can be released into the ambient atmosphere contained within your personal dwelling.

I've had a lot of spiders entering the house recently so i thought i'd try this and so far seems to have helped reduce how many are coming into the house (but that may be coincidental and may be down to other factors including the weather)
rather than putting the conkers in the corners of a room, you should be putting them in the corners of a window as this means they are (hopefully) less likely to enter in the first place. If put in the corners of a room, they are already in the house and may not be able to find their way to escape back outside so it defeats the object of putting them out.

Needles and scissor as a delaying tactic have proven very effective.

I'm with you on this.
My living room has had a mystery slug in it for a few weeks. I've searched under every piece of furniture but my unwanted friend is hidden somewhere consistently adding his trail and hiding in the evening. I imagine he even gives me the bird whilst he does it laughing as he lays his gob like trial on my carpet. Worse than that is the 'Have you not got rid of that slug yet' inquest from Mrs Piggle who currently views my efforts to find and kill Sluggy as the polar opposite of what Ray Mears would do.
What on earth do they eat? Surely it must Die soon? I appreciate I could put some slug pellets out but my 3 year old would probably neck them like smarties.
I feel like doing the Napalm scene in Apocalypse now to sort it out.

Wise words [MENTION=17261]Iggle Piggle[/MENTION]. I have two slug problems. One is along the the bi-folds from the garden to the kitchen. For some reason, every single evening, there are snail trails all along this. And my cat - a proper punchy little alpha male that kills and eats (part of) everything in the garden - is not interested in the f*cking thing. Which brings me onto the second slug problem, the one where the trail is left all over the cat's biscuit bowl. It's like the little twàt is putting 2 fingers up and telling me "I'm a slug, I'll do what I want - I'm even taking the piss out of your cat"

I put conkers on the ledge of a window and no spiders got in. Mind you, keeping the window shut helped ...
