One thing that is supposed to work favourably for your new blog is to do brand reviews. So far it seems like the popular reviews are for tech gadgets, which would be fun but right now the only way I am getting tech products would be through some kind of sponsor a child or computers in homes program, so I will write about something else. At the end of the day, people must have to use other products right?
Since moving to Australia, we have established that this country is crawling with insects. Bright colours, weird shapes, reptiles, amphibians, arachnid (shudder) - they are all here and multiplying. And that would be fine on its own, but they also love to come into the house at night.
Even though I'm pretty jumpy, I can manage most of them. But I absolutely draw the line at cockroaches. Those things are disgusting, indestructible and fast, and they spread disease. They also make my skin crawl. So in order to stay sane, I sought out some firepower.
On any given evening we will have a variety of insect repellent solutions in play - incense, roll-on repellent, sprays, netting and so on. But cockroaches really take a bit of extra ammunition.
Five words: Mortein Easy Reach Surface Spray.
This stuff is absolutely lethal. When the shop assistant said you could spray it on the ground and it would work for months, I was sceptical. But it really works. Well. While I do not recommend breathing it in at all, but it does have a pleasant citrus aroma.
Mortein Easy Reach Surface Spray gets 4 out of 5 hi-fives (one less than 5 because it is a bit toxic). Let the cockroach eradication continue!
