    Anyone here plagued by a cock chafer?

    The chubby insects terrorising Britain's backyards: The plague of fat, flying beetles found in your garden (and your home)  | Daily Mail Online

    Cockchafer beetles are terrorising gardeners across the south east


    Personally I welcome a good cock chafer......

    They (like slugs) are very easy to deal with. Feed the wild birds. After a few weeks the birds will get rid of the slugs as well as the cock chafers.
    (not very daily mail to be interested in feeding wild birds, I know).
    The other way is to have a badger dig up the grubs. (again, not very daily mail to let badgers live)
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        He never chafed mine. Should I ask for a refund?
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
