Planting herbs such as thyme, eucalyptus, mint, wormwood, citronella, and basil is an effective strategy in your backyard and property. They also don't like anything smells pepperminty.

Not wrong thread. Thought I'd offer some remedies for wasp/hornet incursions. Potted plants near windows/doors of above herbs/flowers or essence oils will keep them away from the man in the man cave allowing ventilation w/o fear.

WELL GUYS its all wired up again for the 5th time bar the R/X as that has go to be fitted in the bow section of the ship so i dont get any interferance from the motors an i'll work that all out tomorrow an gave it a try out now its all properly wired up an all 4 motors work perfectly an when i hit the cutout switch the front motors stop an just the rear ones are goin then just hit the switch on my tramitter an then all 4 motors are off again well so it looks like its all sorted but i may have teething probs when up the pond but thats yrs away so no worries yet
