    I have a Venus fly trap and a sarracenia ... My plant friends usually take care of the little Kilkenny bastards.

    Twas a three course meal of death.

    The biggest portion was Carlsberg. I don't know if insects can get drunk, but there were a lot of oddly flying wasps about.

    The others were maple syrup and honey. If they didnt get stuck in it, they got stuck getting away from it.

    I don't just declare war on them, by the way.

    A hive got a sniff of something in a wheelie bin. Over the course of a week, I put the plate out on top of the bin and then moved it further away each night to draw them out of the bin.

    That was just a days work and they drank all my beer :mad:

    Jeez might get one of them so, they were a feckin nuisance at Electric Picnic last year, you couldn't drink an open pint in the arena with about four of them trying to get in, there was a few stings too.

    Yea, put a bowl or plate out with a few spoons of jam, sugar and water. Mix it up. Leave for a while...

    Watch the fun.

    I like bees though!

    A nightmare is climbing up a 2-story ladder with a can of Raid and emptying half the can into the nest - only to get hit in the face by a swarm of dead and dying wasps dropping out of the thing.

    Then have the person holding the ladder give a shriek of fright when he gets hit by them all, try to shield himself and kick the arse out of the ladder in the procces.

    I suppose I got lucky and it jammed against the window, otherwise the ***** would've had the last laugh.

    There were at least a hundred of the ****ers or more on the ground.

    Have noticed a huge influx of them this summer alright. Hate the fúckers. Love spiders, they stick to themselves and don't bother me, especially not when I'm out having a pint :(
