Battle of the bugs: give creepy crawlies an eco goodbye*

With summer almost here, light balmy nights, scorching hot days and weekends spent cooking on the barbie are sure to bring unwanted intruders.

They come every year and ruin the party – the cockroaches, mozzies and flies, that is.

But don’t dismay – Ecomist has the solution, and you don’t have to break out the toxic chemicals.

Its stylish, computerised range of dispensers use natural pyrethrins to provide complete, 24 hour insect control.

The dispensers continuously release small bursts of natural pyrethrins at regular intervals for controlling flying and crawling insects, even when doors and windows are open.

The system is safe to humans and pets and it very simple to operate – just set and forget.

For a limited time, purchase the Ecomist indoor starter pack for only $79 (includes the E4 Dispenser, two AA Batteries and a 250ml Natural Insect Control Refill) and receive a bonus refill! That’s a saving of $18.

Scary spiders

Did you know that in the 17th century, spiders were used as a cure for toothache? They were crushed and applied to the decaying tooth!

These eight legged, super quick and hairy creatures are actually insect eaters. They help keep the cockroaches down and eat the flies. That said, who wants to take a shower with a huntsman!

Bad-ass mozzies

Have you laid there awake listening to the buzz from noisy, annoying and deadly mozzies? These little flying pests respond to carbon dioxide and heat. They have receptors that can locate blood that is near the surface. Pretty clever really, but they won’t win the battle this year.

Cockroaches

Ugly, quick and one of the main causes of childhood asthma, they seem to appear from nowhere and grow to the size of a small horse – a few good reasons to banish them from your home.
