Anagram of swat + speed (minus wasps)

Gives an insecticide

Thank you, Muraria, you're a gem. I was horribly sidetracked by 'ins' for 'insurance'...

Being miles behind I'm still trying to finish the grid let alone making any changes!
If anyone's still there could you help me with:
12D Fish by river Isis using this ?
18D He leaves the border tidy
9D Republican, entering fourth stage, expressed surprise.
Also I have R-r-l (Dewy) for 3D, but think it must be a mistake because there's no way it can cross with the available letters for 16A.
Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much.

12 reel (Isis is extra)
9d phrased (surprise is extra)
18d trim- he leaves The Rim




Look up roral for 3D

Thank you so much. djawhufc. Roral is what I had for 3D but couldn't make it fit. I will try again.

if you're still there, djawhufc, I'm afraid I need more help. Could you be really kind and tell me how I should enter 16A Ptarmic and 11A Screed.
I must have made some mistakes as I just can't make them fit.
I do apologise for getting in such a confusion !
