just don't do it, please, it was my last resort and i wish i hadn't have

published

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.

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

published

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!

Does not kill spiders

published

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

published

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.

Tabs will not lock in place - wasted money on 6 cans

published

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
