That's why I asked the question mate, the 2 insect ones were a total waste of money, the mosquitoes in the pumphouse are attracted to the light and sit on 'em !!!! ( is everything JML make / sell just crap ? )

ive used crushed garlic and lemon or orange peel and they do a good job, and if that doesnt work lion poo scares the hell out of them (longlet wiltshire or any zoo) and if that fails my fave chicken wire just under the ground wired to a car battery (only joking)

Default scaring cats (vermin)

I have myself a 22 c02 powered airgun i hate cats my neighbour has 3 and if i catch them once i promise they wont come back to try again.
So get your self a high powered air gun and just keep it quiet dont tell any one then no one can point the finger,
The results are better than out else because like every one else on here we all spend a lot of hard earned money on our hobby and its not for cats to have a slap up meal on.
But thats my opinion and im sticking to it
