    You tried bicarbonate of soda. I use it. I’ve got old 58 pattern water bottles, been using em for 35 years. Bit worried about the old plastic having a dodgy Chemical in it.

    That looks like a chafer beetle. They lay loads of eggs in grass and the grubs destroy the roots, ruins lawns. Took me a few years to get rid of them here and get the grass back into condition.
