Goodbye to all squirrels!

The best thing i have bought for ages. Managed to catch 2 squirrels and 1 pigeon in 2 weeks with this cage. All were set free unharmed in a place far from my roof ! Looks complicated to use at first but once mastered it is very easy and so effective. Would definaetly recommend this to anyone who is having problems being over run by the pests.

So glad I'm not alone

I bought this along with warfarin soaked food so it could be said I started cynical. I live in a rural area surrounded by food sources. I can tolerate rodents so long as they know where my property boundaries lie and clearly the local ones didn't. I expected a period of corpses but hoped they'd be temporary; so far they've been a year.
I suspect the plugings had an effect; they increased my carbon footprint and electricity bill.

Fantastic

I bought this product to kill mice, having read the previous reviews and having had very little success with other mouse traps. I did wince at the cost but it has been money very well spent. It has never failed to catch a mouse (7 catches so far) except last night when it failed to activate (I know because all the peanut butter had gone and it was buzzing non-stop when I tried to re-set it!). The manufacturer gives a 12 month guarantee and has agreed to replace it so no worries there. My only gripe about this product is the issue of cleaning it. It is extremely difficult to get your hand inside to clean it out so I have to use a tissue on a stick. Being electrical I don't like to use any water on it so it can be very tricky. I caught a slug (and a spider) in mine once and it was such a gooey mess to clean out, it wouldn't work again until it had all been cleaned out thoroughly.

The manufacturers advise cleaning it out with something like Detox surface cleaner sprayed onto a cloth first, but DO NOT spray directly inside as it can get under the plates and stop it working. It is also important to remove the batteries before cleaning.

Overall, a great product if you put it in the right place (along the mouse run), you get used to putting the batteries in but try to avoid catching slugs at all costs!

Works.. WORKS

These things REALLY work. Put one in the loft when we found it alive with flies,, and we had to keep emptying the unit.. Well worth the money.

Great for girly gardening

I must admit I am a bit of a princess when it comes to mud & stuff, but this kit has forced me to brave it and sort out my garden. The range of tools is good and they are fairly hardwearing. If you are doing any serious hard work you will need something a bit more specific than this, but this is a great all-rounder and a really useful gift.

The kit comprises of: pink basket with removable handle to keep everything organised, heavy-weight gloves for dealing with thorny hedges & plants, light-weight gloves which are great for keeping you clean and splinter-free, ball of string for training plants, handheld size fork, handheld size trowel, kneeling mat perfect for resting your knees and keeping your clothes clean, pruning shears for cutting back small branches and stems, pink daisy seeds, plant labels, seed planter for easy & accurate planting, and hand cream for a well-deserved treat after all your hard work.

An instant end to the ant invasion

I got a Pest-Stop 2000 ultrasonic/electromagnetic pest repeller about three years ago as I had a big problem with ants coming in to the house. I was sceptical, but the result was almost instant and I have never had more than the odd one or two ants in the house since then. Much safer and cleaner than using chemicals, and convenient to use too - you can plug it into any mains socket, and I easily found one that was never used for anything else. Highly recommended and well worth the money.

Poor quality unreliable product

I bought 2 cat scarers, 1 for the car-port and the other for the other end of my small garden. Both were kept under cover.
Only one has worked properly, it did take about a week of the cats staring at it before they got fed up with it. It's kept the carport free from cat pee & poo. But this is now starting to pack up after 3 months! If I tap it it starts working again and you can hear the quiet bleep. The other one has the led light on but makes no sound and the cats curl up and sleep by it!!
A BAD buy especially as I have seen them locally for a lot less money.

Kent Collection Greenhouse

This plastic greenhouse seems good, and is as I expected after asking the seller several questions. As the listing makes clear, it is clear plastic and not the green meshed plastic in the picture. This seems slightly less strong than the green meshed plastic greenhouse we've had in the past, but one advantage to this could be that we won't suffer anymore the plastic between the meshing becoming fragile in the sun over time and then beginning to fall out. Time alone will tell - likewise, time alone will tell whether it'll stand up to the winds we sometimes have in the UK. One small criticism is that the guy ropes are not as long as they could be, nor are they adjustable as they were on our previous greenhouse. This is the only reason for 4 stars and not 5.

?Ethical Issue

Has anyone who's left a 1-star review actually used one of these? Arn't you supposed to check the trap twice a day to see if a mouse has been trapped, and if so, free it with cooking oil? Therefore, it's only cruel if you abandon the mouse. It's the person who is cruel, not the trap, and not amazon, surely.

LIGHTWEIGHT, FOLDING WHEELBARROW (616) - LAYS FLAT FOR EASY STORAGE- REDUCED TO CLEAR.

USLESS, TIP EASY, NEED TO HAVE 5 FOOT LONG ARMS TO USE IT, FALLS OVER, TIPS UP, AND THE MESH IS OF POOR QUALITY, SPLIT THE FIRST TIME IT WAS USED, CHEAP CHINA IMPORT

Easy to use

Infinitely easier and less hassle than the old 'wrap it round a glass' technique. They do dry out faster than coir plant pots, though. It would also be great if it were possible to get them in a larger size for potting on. Over all, I love it and would recommend it.

help, I've been Flea'ced

I can't say how this product works because the trap arrived with a smashed bulb so I haven't used it yet. As with a previous reviewer one of the legs broke on assembly. I have contacted the seller but am waiting to hear. My advice is to buy one of these from a local pet shop, it's probably cheaper counting the postage in, and easier to get replacement bulbs!

Fine for the continent
