Hey everyone.. . didn't get back to this thread last night...
I heard they started in Adelaide and are worst in the hills there. I live in the hills here in Perth, that's where they're worst here too.
The nematode option sounds great, wish they'd distribute the nematodes more.
We collected 3 litres of them from just our side patio and front door area last night. Numbers had reduced from the previous night.
As an astronomer what I'm usually anoyed at street lights, but livinig with these things, I'm even more anoyed about street lights. In the hills here there's all they could ever want: Street lights, leech drains, plenty of bush with organic material to much on .. etc. The front of our house is always worse for them than the back, purely because of the street light.
Anoying critters.
Electricution.. that's one I hadn't thought of, interesting!
Roger.
