    My partner's mum had some sort of larvae in her water butt, and didn't want to be infested by flies. The problem was easily solved by putting the fish in from the fish tank to eat them all up!
    Proud to be a moneysaver! :cool:

    They could be newtpoles as well, sounds like the sort of place they would love. Try and keep an eye on it (from a distance if you must ;-) ) because you might need to give them an exit route at some point.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.
  • We had 27 frogs in our water butt earlier on this year, what a shock I had when I found them. Luckily I have two sons who took great pleasure in fishing them out with a net and taking them to their grandad's frog pond!
