We have a carp pond which works pretty well too. No mossies.
In my experience the plug-in repellent things using high frequency sound donât work, and the chemical ones with little bottles arenât great either. The only ones that seem to work are the old fashioned tablet-on-a-hot-bit ones and I 'm not happy sleeping in that atmosphere, hence the carnivorous plants trial.
I seem to have quite a lot of baby ones as they self-seed prolifically - they are theseâŠ

I tried them because they were supposedly easy to grow and they certainly seem to be. They drink a lot of water, which has to be lime free (I use the water out of our dehumidifier).
Iâll PM you
Found similar with egg shells. Now I collect them up separately and when I have a bucket full I chuck them in the blender too. Goes round the plants as an anti-slug barrierâŠ
You must have a pretty powerful blender⊠Do you find that egg shells actually work? Coffee grounds donât!
We have had a couple, the latest one seems to work well:
I am sure I have seen them on offer for approx 140 euros.
We now put everything through it - the result is excellent compost.

Iâll show that one to my partner as he broke the last one 
Thanks very much for the suggestion MatâŠ
40 year old kenwood inherited from my mother⊠not a jug blender, but a round container on amazingly heavy base. Havenât broken it yet (but probably will tomorrow!). I have two broken shreddersâŠ
I amuse myself with snail assault courses, and probably the snails too. They have to navigate a ring of gravel, then a coffee puck wall, and finally a ditch of egg shells. The hardiest ones do make it⊠thoâ usually after its rained and my wall has collapsed.
However night time snail hunts are the best.
They are, arenât they? Now we arenât so heavily involved in house moves etc, we might even manage some this year
