Amazon shoppers praise natural mouse repellent that 'works after first spray'
The AMZ Mouse Repellent Spray, a humane alternative to cruel mouse traps, is non-toxic, free of chemicals and safe to use around children and pets. Made of pure castor oil and menthol extract, it smells fine for humans while still being potent enough to ward off rodents in a non-harmful way.
A bottle currently costs £19.99 with free delivery for Amazon Prime members and customers will receive an additional 5% discount automatically applied at checkout. Available in a 250ml bottle, a few sprays a day is enough to keep pests at bay throughout the summer season and beyond.
The mouse repellent spray can be used all around the home to prevent infestations, from living rooms, lofts, garages, sheds and more. The robust menthol scent drives rodents away, with the brand saying homes can be rat and mouse free in one to two weeks.
Users are advised to initially clean up any droppings, shake the bottle and spray twice every 0.2–0.5m along problem areas such as skirting boards, entry points and known mouse routes. 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. But customers who aren't completely satisfied with their purchase can receive a full refund, no questions asked.
Other natural deterrents include the Crystal Opus Rodent, Spider and Insect Repellent, retailing on Amazon at £9.95, although this contains 50ml of oil that requires dilution before use. Alternatively, there's the Rat and Mouse Pest Control Balls, now discounted from £23.97 to £19.97 for ten balls. Infused with a potent peppermint oil formula, these balls create a barrier that deters mice and rats both indoors and outdoors.
For those battling spiders as well as rodents, Spear and Jackson offer an Ant, Mouse and Spider Repellent three-pack available at B&Q for £14.99, providing a separate spray for each issue.
The AMZ Mouse Repellent Spray has earned a rating of 4.3 out of five stars from Amazon users. A satisfied customer shared: " Brilliant product – worked after the very first spray! 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."
A second reviewer commented: "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."
A third buyer described it as "Best in class," 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."
However, not all buyers were entirely satisfied. One buyer voiced 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."
Generally, customers are pleased with the £19.99 AMZ Mice and Rat Repellent Spray. Another five-star review summarised it by 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."

Ex Edinburgh McDonald's worker says meals taste 'so much better' with one thing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A former McDonald's employee has spilled the beans on a nifty trick to jazz up your chicken meal. Jamie Calder, 20, who clocked in at the fast-food behemoth for just over a year, has some insider advice for nugget and chicken selects aficionados. During his stint, he picked up a few hacks that he reckons punters should be privy to when they're ordering their grub. For those partial to a chicken nugget or select, Jamie suggests a dash of the burger patty seasoning could elevate your meal to new heights, as he revealed to NeedToKnow. "The seasoning for the burger patties is incredible on nuggets or chicken selects," he divulged, adding that if the joint isn't too hectic, it's well worth popping the question. However, Jamie isn't keen on customers asking for salt-free fries, which are typically served pre-salted, reports the Mirror. He explained that such a request can throw a spanner in the works, disrupting the crew's slick routine. "[We'll be] in a rhythm of stacking fries and then have to wipe all the salt off the fry station and fry a new portion just for a customer, who is [probably] going to dump two packs of salt on them as soon as you hand them. It ruins the flow and slows down the process." Jamie also dished out a savvy tip for using the restaurant's app to order your feast. "And if you order on the app to collect, you can usually save some time as they'll start preparing your order before you get to the restaurant (as long as you check in when nearby)," he imparted. The student, who studies at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, also divulged what various sounds from the kitchen signify. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages "The infamous McDonald's beeping originates from virtually every machine in the kitchen," he added. "Different beeps indicate when you receive an order, when chips are half-cooked or fully cooked, for the grills, fryers, drive-through, etc - everything beeps and it's a nightmare. Moreover, Jamie revealed which customers he considers to be the worst, based on his experience." The worst customers are the school-age children who wreak havoc in the dining area," he asserted." Spraying water pistols at customers and flinging tubs of sauce everywhere. "The worst [experience I've had] was when someone blocked the bathroom sink with a plastic bag and flooded the bathroom." Jamie's insights follow another McDonald's employee's revelation about three aspects of the restaurant's drive-thru process. TikTok user @charlton.a claims that ordering at the drive-thru is not as private as one might think. According to him, those working in that area can "hear everything" customers are saying "even when our mic is off". He further stated that cameras also take "mugshot photos" of those ordering food, so they know which order belongs to whom. Additionally, the McDonald's worker alleged that customers can order a recipe book, although another employee said they didn't have these at a different store.

UK homeowners face triggering £5k fine for 'not tidying up enough'
UK homeowners face triggering £5k fine for 'not tidying up enough' During the summer, homeowners will be heading out into their gardens to spruce them up, but there's one thing they should all be aware of Keeping the 'controlled waste' items in their garden for too long could cause problems (Image: Getty) Householders are being warned to make sure particular items aren't abandoned in their gardens for extended periods, or they could face penalties. As temperatures rise across the UK, numerous property owners will be venturing into their outdoor spaces to spruce them up as part of home improvement work and make the most of the pleasant weather. However, gardening specialists at Decking Superstore caution that residents could find themselves in hot water if their gardens aren't maintained to a sufficient standard and certain common items are left scattered about. Homeowners are being advised to inspect their gardens for certain items that might appear innocent but could land them in legal difficulty, reports the Mirror. The gardening specialists reveal they've witnessed many homeowners inadvertently breach environmental regulations without realising, such as abandoning heaps of earth, rubble, or general garden waste in their outdoor areas. "People think it's fine to leave a mound of soil or a few broken bricks in the corner of the garden," a spokesperson said. "But, councils may view that as controlled waste. It might not feel like fly-tipping - but under the law, that's exactly how it can be treated." What does the law say? Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, soil, rubble, and most garden waste are classified as 'controlled waste'. This means it must be disposed of legally and responsibly. Even when the material sits on your own property, allowing it to remain there indefinitely can trigger enforcement action, particularly if it creates a nuisance, draws pests, or spreads onto neighbouring land or public walkways. Where waste is deemed to be fly-tipped or stored illegally, households face fines of up to £400. More severe cases result in prosecution with maximum penalties of £5,000 or even jail time. The controlled waste Environmental Protection Act 1990 outlines the obligations of businesses and people to protect the environment. It also details the enforcement procedures and penalties for failing to comply. This encompasses the requirement for a waste management license, litter violations, and national waste strategies applicable to England, Wales, and Scotland. If waste is judged to be fly-tipped or illegally stored, households could be fined up to £400 When the material poses a health or environmental risk, such as attracting rodents or blocking access, councils can also serve a statutory nuisance notice under Section 79 of the same Act. Ignoring the notice can lead to further legal proceedings. The matter extends beyond this. The landlord advice team at First 4 Landlord Advice also highlight that the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 empowers councils to demand cleanup where a garden or outdoor space is considered to be damaging the neighbourhood's appearance. Sometimes, this can even result in Section 215 enforcement, where property owners are legally compelled to tidy their land or face court action. "It doesn't have to look like a rubbish dump for enforcement to happen," the spokesperson explained. "If something is clearly not being used, is unsightly, or is attracting complaints, you could get a visit from your local authority." In some cases, homeowners can be legally ordered to tidy their land What shouldn't you leave in your garden (or risk a fine)? A team of gardening experts has put together a list of common garden items that could land you in hot water if left out for too long: Mounds of soil or rubble – Often viewed as controlled waste if left unattended. Damaged slabs, bricks, or concrete – Legally considered as construction waste. Old garden furniture – Particularly if it's broken, rotting, or clearly abandoned. Rusty tools or equipment – Could be perceived as environmental hazards if left outdoors. Decaying wood or decking – Might attract pests or pose safety risks. Plastic grow bags, plant pots or trays – Especially if they're not being used and are scattered about. Overgrown or unmanaged waste piles – Such as heaps of leaves, cuttings or twigs. Unused barbecues, appliances, or building materials – If they're not part of an ongoing project. What is generally fine (if managed properly)? There's no law against using your garden for personal projects, so the following are typically permitted, as long as they're kept tidy and don't cause harm: Functional compost bins (with lids). Neatly stored DIY or gardening materials. Potted plants, growing containers, and patio furniture in use. Neatly stacked firewood (not excessive or rotting). Gardening tools stored in a shed or lean-to. There's no law against using your garden for personal project (Image: Getty) Article continues below A simple way to stay safe: The experts' guidance is straightforward: avoid leaving heaps of soil, bricks, broken slabs, or waste material scattered around your garden - even if you plan to use it later. If it's not part of an ongoing project and appears neglected, tackle it without delay. They suggest that you could legally dispose of materials by employing a licensed waste carrier or visiting your local rubbish tip. They also advise carrying out a swift monthly inspection of your garden to prevent any build-up of clutter. "A tidy garden isn't just about aesthetics - it's a legal obligation. What might seem like a minor mound of dirt today could result in a fine tomorrow," the spokesperson commented. "I always play music while I'm working. It transforms cleaning into dancing - and it never feels like a chore."
