Tried an inexpensive way to get rid of those swarms of tiny black drain flies. Mix well half a cup of salt, half a cup of baking soda and one full cup of vinegar last thing at night. Pour the foaming mixture down the kitchen plughole and leave to soak overnight. This should destroy their breeding grounds, food source (scraps, grease etc). Next morning pour a kettle of hot water down. Works a treat so far.

Love moths. Love the way they move.
Spiders. No issue. They keep things even in the pest stakes.
Wasps. The most pointless creature ever. The ability to make people look ridiculous when all they’re doing is enjoying a pint in a beer garden. Fuck wasps.

Bees are useful! Can't think what good wasps are!I was going to mention about seeing more bees in my OP...But I thought, Fuck 'em...They already get all the sympathy and attention as it is. Their problems are self inflicted...If the thick mawkish little cunts took those ridiculous stripey jumpers off they could fly faster, further, longer and they could fit into smaller flowers. But no.. Style over efficiency every time, so they all insist on dressing like Sting in his early days...Give it a rest bees, even sting moved on and he's a massive twat.
Wasps. The scousers of the insect world..
And while were on this esoteric thread whatever happened to those four, five, 'n six inch slugs that used to appear five mins after it stopped raining. There's plenty of snails inside their shells in the gardens at Ewing Towers (not open to the public!) but where are the orange, white 'n brown super slugs?

I know someone working on this project! Fen raft spiders are pretty big, but I think ‘the size of a rat’ is OTT.

If I can’t catch them in a cup they’re too big for this planet.

In my hot tub mate. Horrible fucking things.
Unless your wading through a bog in Norfolk or Suffolk I think you should just about be ok :-)

Wasps eat flies, aphids, caterpillars and other invertebrates, making them an important insect-controlling predator and are important pollinatorsBees are useful! Can't think what good wasps are!
