Active Fly & Wasp Killer Spray
by daisylee3 During the summer or whenever the weather is decent, we leave the patio doors open so that the dogs can go outside whenever they want. Obviously due to this we do get a few flys come in as well as the odd bee or wasp. Although I don't like killing flys and insects, spraying them is usually the only way to get rid of them and if we didn't ... have fly spray they'd probably be buzzing around the house for days. I'm not fussy or brand loyal when it comes to basic household items such as fly spray and I just grab whatever is cheap or on offer. This particular fly and wasp killer spray is available from a wide variety of online retailers and discount stores, but as far as I know, no supermarkets sell it. I bought my can of this from B&M around six months ago now and although I don't remember exactly what I paid, it wasn't very much. Prices for a 300ml can vary from £1.50 to around £4.00 depending on where you buy it from - great value considering how long a can lasts. The spray comes in a tall, cylindar aerosol can which is similar in design to a majority of other fly sprays. It's black in colour with the brand name written in orange and red writing along with the product name written clearly in large white font. The background has a picture of a large, red tick and there's a cartoon type picture of a dead fly. The can has directions for use and warnings (eg flammable, avoid contact with eyes and so on) on the back and the packaging overall is basic but you can tell from looking at it that it's a fly spray and due to the eyecatching colour (black with yellow and red detailing) it stands out from the many other lotions and potions under my sink so I can grab it quickly when I see a fly/wasp rather than searching for it! I also like that the can doesn't have a lid meaning that you can just grab it, press down on the 'trigger' and the spray is released; really quick meaning the fly's don't get chance to realise what's happening and fly away, lol. The directions of use state that you should hold it so that it is aimed directly at the fly/wasp. They advise holding it 60 to 90cm away but as the flys that come in our house often fly around the cieling and near the lights, I can't always get that close. The spray comes out quickly and lots comes out even with one spray and each time I've used this it has always killed the fly(s) quickly - within 1-2 minutes. They usually fall to the floor, wiggle their legs around a bit and then die. I've used this once on quite a large wasp and it died after a few sprays; luckily it didn't get angry and sting me after the initial spray! The spray does smell very strong and chemical so I always make sure that I don't breathe it in and I don't use it when my daughhter or dogs are in the room. Overall, this is a cheap and effective fly/wasp spray and I recommend it. I give it 4/5 stars - I've knocked one star off because it takes a few sprays to kill a wasp and it smells pretty nasty!

No More Spiders Spray
by stacey10304 Earlier this year I moved into a new flat on the groundfloor of a really really old building surrounded by old trees and ivy, with a big spacious old basement right beneath my bedroom. After a few weeks of living here however I started to realise that the entire place was infested with spiders, and not just regular spiders - but huge ... ugly man eating types! OK so maybe thats a bit of an exaggeration, but they were huge, and everywhere, invading my space several times day. One night when Id had one dangle down onto me in bed from the ceiling, only to have another crawl across my arm 5 minutes later I decided enough was enough and either i needed to move out, or they did. So I went on the internet to find out if there were any spider repellents out there that actually work- and I came across this. It comes in a white bottle that you usually get cleaning products in and has the no more spiders logo on the front. The spray itself contains clove oil and horse chesnut which apparently spiders are supposed to hate, but it is also worth noting that so do dogs, cats a children - so be careful spraying this around the house if you have pets or kids - lukily I have neither at the minute so I really went to town with this spray. I sprayed it around my skirting boards, my windows, my doors, my carpets, any gaps/holes etc I could find anywhere, I then went outside the building and did the same. It says to apply the product once every 1-2 weeks which I have been doing, and since May I have not seen one spider in my flat. Even now that we are in the middle of spider season and everyone else is complaining about the huge spiders they keep finding in their homes, I am still yet to see one. You can get this product online for about £4, I found mine on amazon where I think I paid £3.99. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to deter the little beasties from your home, its worth noting that it doesnt harm or kill the spiders, just deters them. I cant recommend it enough for anyone who is afraid of the eight legged nasties! Read the complete review |

Wilko Household Flea Spray
by xxfoxyredxx A while back now I looked after my friends cat. Beautiful thing, had a flea collar on and had run of my home. I never thought anything about it till I started itching and getting bitten all over my legs. Worse than that my friend in the flat below me (the daughter of the womans cat I was looking after who had also looked after the week ... before but was going on holiday the week I looked after her) had noticed things jumping in her carpet. I went out and armed myself with flea sprays from Asda and got through cans of the stuff and I really thought I had got rid of the problem till one evening I was watching the soaps plucking my eyebrows in a mirror when I spotted a flea jump off my head and to make matters worse I got 5 fresh and new flea bites that night in bed. Now although I have only ever seen one or two fleas since this problem began I knew I had issues and I cleaned my flat top to bottom and as I say used 2-3 cans of flea spray to which I haven't seen any fleas since but knew they were still about which is why the other day in my local Wilkinsons stores I took a look at their flea sprays and bought a couple of cans of this stuff costing £2.40 a 250ml can. The Packaging: The can is rather large and holds 250ml of the product and has a push button aerosol type sprayer to the top of it and over that a white plastic lid safely pops on. On the front of the can there is a photograph of a dog and a cat and we are told that it is Wilko Household Flea Spray 'Insecticidal spray for use on pet bedding, soft furnishings, rugs & carpets etc' and the ingredients are briefly listed as well as being told 'Kills fleas in your home - and keeps them away'. On the back of the can other information given includes being told a bit about the product and how to use it, warnings and the size is stated (as I have listed already) and contact details for Wilkinsons are given. This is a highly informative can and style wise pleasant to look at and easy to use. Using It: Well with this spray it is safe to use pretty much everywhere in your home apart from on pets and if you use this on pet bedding and rugs and the likes your best to let it air well before you let your pet near it. For best results we are told to spray this liberally about 40cm away from the object we are trying eradicate fleas from. It comes out as a white mist leaving no residue on anything though and smelling really highly chemically so when using this because I have hamsters in my care I always pop open a window. it is isn't a rancid smell though and not breath taking and doesn't hurt my chest or anything which is important to me as I suffer from asthma. I sprayed this on my carpets, rugs, cushions and quilt and allsorts.... in fact there was nowhere really left untouched after I used this. This is meant to kill fleas flat dead as soon as sprayed but we are advised to make sure to repeat the process 7 days after initially using it. I got through one can the first time I used it and the contents went a very long way indeed and then another can 7 days later. I was still being bitten, though to be fair not quite so bad after using the first can but when I used the second because the first can had been relatively successful I did think the second can would completely ban fleas from my home. Sadly not though on day 9 after using this I still have fresh flea bites on my legs, arms and hips and boy do I itch bad. For me this has partially worked though not fully and sadly I don't consider my flea issue to be as bad as I have had them in the past. I can't say this is a completely useless product but I still have flea issues as I type this and feel that this just isn't strong enough for me and my needs sadly so for that reason I wouldn't recommend it sadly! A 250ml can of this costs £2.40 a can though there is a 500ml can also available in this costing £3.98 (though I only saw the larger size for sale on Wilkinsonplus.com Read the complete review |
