Amazon shoppers swear by 'miracle' £22 spray that 'keeps mice and rats away'

The AMZ BRAND Premium Mouse Repellent Spray is a non-toxic solution that is "safe to use around kids and pets", and is said to be effective in warding off rodents.

As the autumn chill sets in, it's not just us humans who are seeking warmth. Mice, rats and other pesky rodents often find refuge in our homes and buildings to escape the cold.

However, Amazon shoppers have discovered a non-toxic solution that they claim helps deter these unwelcome visitors. The AMZ BRAND Premium Mouse Repellent Spray offers a natural alternative to traditional traps and is safe to use around children and pets.

Priced at £21.99 on Amazon (with free delivery for Prime Members) customers can also get an extra 5% off with the brand's exclusive voucher discount code available at checkout. The spray features a mix of natural ingredients including castor oil and peppermint oil, which rodents find unappealing.

This means that when you use the spray, the rodents aren't killed or harmed, but rather encouraged to leave your home. Users have also mentioned that the peppermint oil gives off a "pleasant odour" - a welcome change from the smell of other repellent products.

This powerful spray can be used in any room of the house, including the attic, basement, and garage, as well as in outbuildings like garden sheds, to keep unwanted pests at bay. To use, simply clean up any signs of rodent activity, shake the bottle, and spray along the paths you suspect the pests are taking, reports the Express.

Although it may take some time before the results are noticeable, AMZ claims that a substantial decrease in rodent activity will be evident within one to two weeks. Numerous happy customers have lavished praise on this product, awarding it an impressive 4.5-star rating after over 2,600 reviews.

One ecstatic buyer raved: "Fantastic product and have used for three weeks and have good success with deterring mice in a flat." The customer also shared their delight at the unexpected pleasant smell of the product: "I was concerned before buying that the smell might be offensive or pungent, especially as my partner is sensitive to strong smells, but in fact it is quite the opposite and we both really quite like the smell of it so that's a bonus.

"I also like the delivery system and great aftercare from the company. Overall great product and would purchase another if ever needed." Another reviewer added their voice to the chorus of approval: "After trying several repellent sprays, I found this one to be the one.

"It's brilliant. Pleasant smell to us humans. Comes with full instructions and also has a really long-distance spray, which is handy if you are scared of going right into the loft! I would give 10 stars if possible."

One more buyer recounted their ordeal, saying: "I bought this spray after finding mouse droppings in my children's bedrooms. I was mortified and didn't sleep for days. I tried humane traps but they didn't work for me. I was reluctant to put poison down in case the children (or my dogs) touched it. I'll be honest, I tried this spray as a last resort."

An overwhelmed customer couldn't contain their surprise with the pest control spray, sharing: "Despite the amazing reviews, I was more than a little sceptical. I gave the rooms a thorough clean, removed any junk from the floor and sprayed. It smelt surprisingly OK (I left the bedroom windows open for a good few hours). Two weeks on and I'm relieved to say that I haven't found any more evidence of mice inside my house."

They continued with high praise for the product: "It's a miracle. I'm going to keep on spraying every couple of weeks as a precaution. I can honestly, wholeheartedly, recommend this spray. It worked a treat for me. Worth every penny."

However, results varied among customers. Some expressed that the effects were short-lived, with one slightly disappointed shopper stating: "It seemed to work for a while, but now that it's virtually run out, it seems the creature has got used to it, as it has started coming out in the night again."

Disappointment was also expressed by another user, who commented: "Sorry to say that this did not repel the mice in my attic on this occasion. That's not to say that it will not work for others, as some reviewers have said that it did work for them. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Sorry. It was definitely worth a try though."

For those looking for a humane solution to rodent problems, ultrasonic pest repellents could be the answer. Devices like the Beacon Dual Action Mouse and Rat Repeller, available at Homebase for £30, emit frequencies inaudible to humans and pets but unpleasant for mice and spiders.
