Re: Bloody Lizard

i'd like to see anyone put a fly in a mouse trap :D
mothballs are the way to go mate. they may smell a bit, but they'll work. they also work against wasps and their nest.
just put the balls beside the nest and it will kill and drive away the wasps. cheap and very effective - and safe for you!
