You can buy ladybird larvae from eBay, I had some last year and they went for the aphids in a big way so I've ordered some more and should be here any day.Roses have suddenly come under attack from greenfly....gone over them with some bug killer this morning.
Why has it got holes in it? Mine‘s been attached to the wall outside for about ten years now and is still as good as new.Waiting for a new hosepipe to turn up. Left it out over winter and now has do many holes that I get more drenched than the garden
It's the same hole you polo mint double licker you.My hosepipe has two holes in it, one at each end.
I put a good solid amount of crushed eggshells with a few blue pellets mixed in, and a measure of salt, around my newly planted out runner beans. This morning I noticed a snail heading in the direction of one of the young plants and watched as it glided over the eggshells and, with two or three slug pellets stuck to it's sides went straight on to the stalk. It would have tucked in if I hadn't intervened and winged the tw@ over the hedge into next door's.Egg shells work for me. Perhaps your spreading them out too thinly and they’re getting in around them?
I thought a sprinkling of salt on a slug worked well. Not suggesting you eat them mind.I put a good solid amount of crushed eggshells with a few blue pellets mixed in, and a measure of salt, around my newly planted out runner beans.

Eggshells ? I'd call it a partial success.
