just don't do it, please, it was my last resort and i wish i hadn't have
I followed all the safety guides, even the warnings online. We were out of the house for over 8 hours, covered all the surfaces etc. My wife's currently asleep in our room which was treated that morning and she's woken up saying how terrible she feels. All the classic symptoms you read online, nausea, headache etc. I walk into the house (i work next to the house at night) and I immediately get a headache. My 3yo kid is asleep inside also and man I'm kicking myself.

DOES not kill fleas as advertised
I have purchased numerous three packs of this product in the last three months, as after each treatment, fleas still remain. I've let off a 4th three pack again tonight and await the morning to see if it has killed the fleas. If not I intend making a formal complaint and seeking a full refund, along with compensation for loss. RAID and First Force flea bombs are all just as ineffective. I will NEVER buy these products again and in future save myself the money, time and stress and pay $150 for a full, effective inside and outside professional pe...
Read morest control service, who also warrants their work for 12 months and if it fails will return to retreat till problem remedied. Seems there are too many businesses now, who's primary objective is theft from customers in return for shabby service and ineffective products. NOTE: All my pets are flea treated correctly with Comfortis.Purchased in at Woolworths for $83.

Waste of money - terrible efficacy
Mortein is a good brand so I was surprised by how utterly ineffective this product is. Twice a year I do my home and normally use a cheaper brand but the pack of Mortein was on special so I grabbed those. Set them off in each closed room before leaving for work and when I got home the first thing I noticed was there weren't any dead roaches or bugs anywhere. We don't have a bad roach problem but normally there are half a dozen dead ones after bombing. That night spotted a few running around in different rooms when I turned on the light and this...
Read more continued for a week till i purchased the cheaper brand and did it again which stopped it. With the cheap brand for the first week we're picking up dead ones every morning and afternoon and from then not one for roughly 6 months. Seriously, buy the budget brand, they'll do a better job and save you money.Purchased in .

Trusted brand no more
I bought the indoor outdoor spray 3 weeks on and my home still has cockroaches running around, very disappointing. Switching to Aldi brand, cheaper and I hear they work.

Completely bloody useless
After setting the bombs to spray nasty insecticide through my apartment I was devastated to find one week on just as many nasty little cockroaches parading through my place as last week. So I guess iI have needlessly exposed my family to nasty insecticides for no reason while I continue to stalk the little thing with my regular can of surface spray. Bye bye Mortein!
Mortein crawling insect comtrol bobm
Bloody F***ing useless. Would have got better results by throwing the can at the insects. False advertising. Want my money back!!!

Does not kill spiders
Bombed the whole house. One in each bedroom and bathroom and two in linge dining room. Trying to get rid of daddy long legs but it just seemed to make them breed more. Did absolutely nothing. What a waste of $60. Never again will I buy Mortein product. Don’t waste your money. Talk to the experts and get a product that works. I feel ripped off.

Made NO difference in eradicating small house spiders
I set up the Crawling Insect Control Bombs in each room of our home. We went overseas for 3 weeks. I now still have baby spiders in our ensuite and dining room. I let off another bomb in the ensuite and no difference. I ended up spraying the spiders with a surface spray. I purchased 12 cans (4 pkts), what a waste of money.

A bomb that takes three weeks to go off?
I had (and still have), a flea infestation in my garage, a six metre by four metre space. More than a few seconds in there finds them swarming all over my ankles and feet.
I purchased a twin pack of Mortein 'Power Guard' Flea Bombs, more than enough to treat that space, and at more than double the price of the generic stuff, I thought it would do the trick.
I shook em' up and set them off, waited two and a half hours and went into the garage, one or two fleas jumped on my ankles. Not bad.
About eight hours later when I returned home and par...

Tabs will not lock in place - wasted money on 6 cans
I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased. I've used other brands of bombs several times and this is the first time I've tried the Mortein brand. Didn't think there would be a problem but I couldn't even get the tab down to lock on any of the cans. Will never ever buy again, was a total waste of money as now will have to go out and buy my usual brand.
DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND
