Where there are crane flies there are moles...don't know how that works in London! This is also spider season but they don't even bother with crane flies.

I trap them all and put them outside where hopefully they will do more than just mate and die!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.com
