Regular follow up applications have kept the mouse problem at bay. I did have another visitor about a month later, but as soon as I used the spray again, it disappeared and hasn't returned since."
Another added: "Lovely fragrance. Also its easy to spray and easy to see after spraying, which is useful. I haven't seen or heard any mice since using your product and didn't have to kill them, which is a bonus. I think it's an excellent product that really works."
" Best in class," said a third buyer, adding "Very effective in getting rid of mice from our lovely home. Would highly recommend specially as application is so effective, instantly. Will be recommending to friends and family."
Not everyone was quite so impressed. One buyer raised concerns about the spray, saying: "Smells pleasant, yet to see results, but would have been helpful in the description if they actually wrote that the liquid is brown so be careful when spraying on white surfaces or areas that are light in colour. The colour is almost like liquid coffee."
Overall, buyers are impressed with the £19.99 AMZ Mice and Rat Repellent Spray. Another five-star review summed it up, saying: "Very happy with purchase, since finding this product I don't need to use anything else, also happy that it's pet friendly so I don't need to keep my fur babies inside in the warmer day."

Glasgow locals 'devastated' as Speirs Wharf canal barge sunk
The barge, at Speirs Wharf in the North of the city, has almost completely sunk with only the roof still above the water. The tragic scene shows the houseboat submerged in the canal's waters while white flotation devices mark off the area and are there to "stop pollution", according to locals. The shocking scenes have rocked the community, and many passersby stopped to look at the sunken home.

'It's such a shame, it must be devastating. 'That's like your full house going up in flames, I just can't imagine it.' Another said: "That's tragic. My heart goes out to the owner whose home that is." One resident simply said: "Hope everyone's ok." (Image: Newsquest) Glasgow locals 'devastated' as Speirs Wharf canal barge sunk (Image: Newsquest) READ MORE: I tried Tesco's new Birthday Cake sandwich - here's what it left me wondering A spokesperson for Scottish Canals said: 'We were made aware of the sunken vessel on Monday, July 28 at Speirs Warf, on the Forth & Clyde Canal. "Our duty operatives arrived on site and made the area safe. The owner of the boat is aware and will be arranging recovery.' Established in the late 18th century, the Forth & Clyde Canal was a major success story in Glasgow's history. By the mid-19th century, the canal had stimulated industrial development all along its banks, and this was particularly true of the area around Speirs Wharf and Port Dundas. A landmark of Speirs Wharf is the former City of Glasgow Grain Mills and Stores complex. Constructed for John Currie & Co. circa 1851, the mills represented a major industrial investment. In 1989, the buildings were converted into residential apartments, a private leisure centre and commercial units. Today, Speirs Wharf is a community of those living in the flats in the old mills and those moored in barges on the canal.

'I transformed my dreary kitchen for £150 - it looks brand new'
'I transformed my dreary kitchen for £150 - it looks brand new' Natalie Stainthorpe completely transformed her kitchen on a budget after being told it would cost £3,000 for professionals to do the work Natalie Stainthorpe transformed her kitchen on a £150 budget (Image: Jam Press/@everythingnatalie_) A woman has shared how she completely transformed her "dark and gloomy" kitchen for just £150. Natalie Stainthorpe, from Middlesbrough, said she was quoted around £3,000 for a new kitchen - and decided to do the work herself instead. The 34 year old dental nurse, who recently moved into a new property, was not pleased with the dark kitchen that barely received any light due to an extension on the house. She turned to TikTok tutorials and set a budget of £250 for the makeover, but managed to save even more, spending £100 less than planned. She told What's The Jam: "I just couldn't stand how dark and gloomy it felt – I wanted a fresh, light space where I'd actually enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. The kitchen before was in good condition, but needed a little bit of TLC and I had a vision for the room." She also discussed the cost of a professional renovation: "We did a rough estimate of how much it would cost to completely replace the kitchen from a family friend and we were looking at quite a lot of money - around £2,000 to £3,000 - which was money we didn't have. I decided that I was going to do a budget-friendly makeover instead." To achieve the transformation, Natalie opted for affordable alternatives such as paint and vinyl instead of expensive new units. With the help of her partner and sister, she refreshed the cupboards, wrapped the worktops, and revitalised the handles, reports the Daily Record. Natalie's kitchen before the makeover. (Image: Jam Press/@everythingnatalie_) She found cupboard paint for less than £15 per tin, sourced cost-effective vinyl from B&Q, and purchased all her decorating supplies from B&M to maintain a low budget. The makeover took around a month, squeezed in between shifts and weekends, but the results speak for themselves – the once gloomy kitchen now bright, airy and looking brand new. Natalie added: "Our original budget was £250 – I didn't want to spend more than that, so to come so far under budget was amazing. It was quite a dark room – dark floors, worktops and cupboards and I really wanted to lighten the space up as because of the extension on the back we don't get that much natural light. "We found the vinyl easy on the straight parts of the worktops, around the sink was a bit fiddly, we watched a few tutorials on YouTube on how to do it around the sink to try and minimise any mistakes. My partner Chris actually did most of the sink area as I ran out of patience with it. We repurposed the handles that were already on the units as to replace 14 handles in matte black was quite expensive. Natalie Stainthorpe transformed her kitchen on a budget (Image: Jam Press/@everythingnatalie_) "We gave them a light sand and then we sprayed them with Rust-Oleum black matte spray paint and then sealed with a matte sealant spray. We got all our painting supplies from B&M to keep the costs down and budget-friendly – they sell such an amazing range of painting and decorating tools to help with projects like this. "I spent some time researching how to vinyl worktops watching videos on YouTube and TikTok. I also got lots of tips from my friend who has done lots of vinyling to change up her rental home." Natalie documented the transformation on TikTok and revealed the entire project spanned roughly three to four weeks as she tackled it during her free time and weekends. She said: "It definitely wasn't a quick transformation but that was fine with us, we loved seeing it slowly come together. The hardest part for me was probably the vinyling, simply because it took more brain power than the rest, and a lot of patience - something I'm known to not have a lot of. Article continues below "We didn't encounter any mistakes, we just took our time with the project - apart from when I spilt paint on my hob. If I was to start this project again, I wouldn't change anything – I love how we took our time and worked together to get our final look in here. Rome wasn't built in a day and sometimes time and money restrict a quick transformation. "I'm all for realistic budget makeovers and those take time. The difference it's made is amazing, it's now light and airy, it's really brightened up the room, I'm still obsessed with it now two months down the line. We've had such an amazing reaction to our makeover, my friends and family said it looks like a brand new kitchen and it's had such a good response both on my Instagram and TikTok. "My advice would be to take your time, it's okay if you don't get a transformation like this done in a day like you can sometimes see on social media. My second piece of advice to make sure the longevity of your makeover is prep, prep, prep. Spend time prepping your units and surfaces for painting, you'll thank yourself later. It just goes to show, you don't always need a big budget – sometimes a bit of patience and a few clever tricks can completely change your home."

'I transformed my dreary kitchen for £150 after being quoted £3,000'
Natalie Stainthorpe completely transformed her kitchen on a budget after being told it would cost £3,000 for professionals to do the work A woman has completely transformed her kitchen for £150 after refusing to spend thousands of pounds on a renovation. Natalie Stainthorpe, from Middlesbrough, said she was quoted around £3,000 for a new kitchen - and decided to do the work herself i nstead.
