    Electric, nuclear i dont care...whats the best one?

    Air freshener and a lighter is fine but they come back. Do any of those 100 quid electric powered ones actually work?

    The best thing is to remove whatever it is that is attracting them.

    Close/Cover/Put away all food.
    Empty bins regularly, and keep indoor and outdoor bins closed tight.

    Then one of those vapona sticky tape things up to catch the stragglers.

    Im sure it would,its one of those ones you see in a chipper with the blue led light to attract the buggers,then it fries them.....Maybe scoot down to aldi and checkout if they have any left.

    I've got one (not an Aldi one) and it works to a degree. Works better at night when the little feckers get attracted to the light, but in the daylight hours, when there's most of them about, they just seem to ignore it. And it's not a blue LED ... some kind of fluorescent tube thingy.

    UV ?
    probably near UV so you won't tan from it.
