This should be carried out for three consecutive days and windows must be kept open to allow pests to exit, reports the Mirror. It's common to see rodents in the first couple of weeks of use as they're escaping the effects of the spray.

'I bought a cordless leaf blower, it's great at tidying the garden'
I have to say I've been really impressed with this £50 garden gadget It's June, the sun is (somewhat) shining and we're all eager to spend more time outside. Especially my young son, Teddy, who's quickly transitioned from crawling to practically sprinting in what feels like a fortnight. Consequently, I had to sort out my garden, replacing a muddy corner that doesn't see much sunlight with a fenced-off play area. All well and good, problem solved, right? Not exactly. Despite the play area being fantastic, one issue quickly emerged - on a blustery day, the fencing essentially serves as a pen for collecting what seems like every leaf in the vicinity. Naturally, as a ten-month-old, Ted has to put anything he picks up directly into his mouth, so I was keen to find an easy solution to the leaf issue. I already owned a corded leaf blower that is quite powerful and excellent for clearing away things like hedge and grass clippings. The issue is, it's a bit of a hassle setting it up, as I have to retrieve it from the garage and get out an extension lead - not something you want to be doing daily. In search of a simpler, and quicker, solution for clearing leaves and general debris tossed around by the wind, I turned to the McGregor Cordless Garden Leaf Blower, purchasing it from Argos for £50. I've since found out that there's a way to get it even cheaper for £34.38 by using TopCashback, more on how to do that below. And I must admit, I've been thoroughly impressed. Its cordless and battery-powered design makes it a breeze to quickly whip out of the cupboard to clear the play area in a couple of minutes. It may not be as powerful as my corded version, but it's more than up to the task of swiftly shifting the leaves and tidying everything up. It's incredibly straightforward to use. Simply select the power setting you need from one to six (naturally, I always just crank it up to the highest setting), press the button and off you go. It boasts impressive power and is incredibly handy for giving the garden a quick spruce up. Initially, I noticed my hand beginning to ache slightly after pressing the button for a few minutes, only to realise it has a function to lock the button on so you don't have to keep it pressed down. My only minor gripe is that the battery doesn't last forever. It's more than sufficient to blast the debris scattered around the garden into oblivion, but if you're planning to use it for an extended period, you might be better off opting for a corded option like the Einhell Leaf Blower Vacuum, priced at £51.95 at B&Q. That model comes with a vacuum function and a catch bag, making it a preferable choice for gardeners wanting to collect the leaves and dispose of them. It's worth mentioning that the three reviews for that product are mixed, with two four-star and one three-star rating. Shoppers have remarked that it "does the job" but pointed out that it becomes "a little bit heavy after a while." If you're eager for the confidence that comes with well-known brands, Amazon carries Dewalt's 18V XR Compact Blower, albeit for a steeper £71.94. It boasts a design focused on being exceptionally light, making it an appealing option for those worrying about weight. How to get the Argos leaf blower for £34 Begin by signing up as new members via this TopCashback link. Find Argos on the site and hit 'Get Cashback Now'. Shop and check out as usual on the Argos website. Sit tight; cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction. For new TopCashback members and new Argos customers the leaf blower will cost £34.38 after cashback, while for new TopCashback members and existing Argos customers it works out at £34.58 after cashback.

I turned my bald, muddy, patchy lawn into a luscious garden with a £10 buy – it's so full and green in a matter of weeks
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HOMEOWNER shared the DIY transformation she gave her lawn ahead of summer. The garden went from muddy sparse patches to luscious green grass in a matter of weeks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A homeowner shared her impressive lawn transformation over six weeks Credit: Facebook The woman shared a before and after comparison of her lawn in a post on the Facebook group Garden Makeover Ideas On A Budget. She revealed that the dramatic transformation happened just six weeks apart. "Can enjoy the garden again now," she told her fellow gardening enthusiasts. "Wow, that looks amazing to have achieved that in a relatively short period of time, I'm a very new gardener and seeing this has given me even more encouragement," said one person. "Depressing to amazing. What different colour actually makes to the eye, mind, and mood," agreed another commenter. "Absolutely fantastic!. Such a good feeling to fix a lawn to this. Very well done!" commended a third Facebook user. Another person described the switch up as "incredible" while someone else summed it up as "goals". The original poster was also plagued with requests to "spill the secrets". She revealed that she used "grass seed, lots of it" to tackle her sparse lawn. The Facebook user explained that the experience was a learning process, as she tried a variety of brands before settling on a favourite. My garden was a mud patch - I transformed it to a lush, thick lawn with a Poundland buy & I'm shocked at the difference "Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start, was probably the best one," she shared. You can pick up a kilo box of Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start from B&Q for just £10. The green-fingered pro went on to say that she used "a bit of topsoil" alongside compost. "Our soil is pure clay so it's a battle, we scarified it to within an inch of its life," she continued. "It was essentially a lawn made entirely of weeds and moss." Seasonal lawn care schedule Lawn care varies from season to season, with some tasks helping to encourage growth and root development whilst others help maintain the soil quality. Claire Baglin, landscaping category manager from Toolstation has shared lawn care tasks and tips for each season: Spring (March, April, May) Start to mow the grass bi-weekly in March when the soil and air temperatures typically reach above 6C. Fertilise the lawn for the first time during March using some quick-release fertiliser that is rich in nitrogen to help promote shoot growth. Scarify the lawn for the first time during April to remove any built-up moss or thatch that can accumulate throughout the winter. Aerate the lawn during April by spiking holes into the soil surface. This will help to loosen the soil and encourage growth. Overseeding can also be carried out throughout April to patch up any thin or bare areas of grass. Summer (June, July, August) From June start to cut your grass once a week - apart from in periods of extreme heat and droughts. Increase the cutting height to protect the lawn from any possible droughts. In June make sure to treat the lawn for any weeds - this can either be manual removal for individual weeds or using weed killer for larger clusters. During July and August make sure to water the lawn at least once a week by giving it a soak for 5-10 minutes. Autumn (September, October, November) From September reduce the lawn mowing frequency back to once every two weeks and conduct the last mow of the year in November. Fertilise the lawn for a second time during October using a slow-release fertiliser that is rich in phosphorous and potassium to strengthen the lawn. Throughout October and November remove any fallen leaves and other debris from the lawn surface. Winter (December, January, February) From December to the end of February leave the lawn alone. Grass typically does not grow in the colder winter temperatures. Winter is the perfect time of the year to conduct any lawnmower maintenance including checking over the blades and filters. She revealed that she even mixed in "a bit of sand" to the mix at one point. "Once down, we then walked all over it to compact it down, then watered a couple of times a day in the hot weather, less if cloudy," she said. "We also bought Miracle Gro liquid lawn food fast green and a spray attachment for the hose pipe and have fed it once a week." You can pick up a litre bottle of Miracle-Gro Fast Green Liquid Fertiliser for just £8.50 from B&Q. The Facebook user further emphasised how she has no experience with lawns. "Honestly I just wing it and hope for the best, we don't really know what we're doing half the time," she admitted.
