Smite powder is Diatomaceous Earth which is proven to have an adverse effect on mites as they travel across it, causing cuts and abrasions that cause them to dehydrated and die.  it can be used as a powder and sprinkled across the floor paying special attention to corners and any other dark place that mites like to hid in.  It can also be mixed with water and sprayed with a garden pressure spray.  Once the water dries the surface is left with a fine film of diatom across it.  A drop of washing up liquid in the mix will help to keep the diatom in suspension.

Win one of 3 red top fly traps in time for the summer fly season.

It doesn’t matter what your chosen pet is, they will all produce faeces that to a greater or lesser extent will attract flies, especially when the ambient temperature starts to rise. A fly trap is the ideal way to tackle them.

Red Top Fly Traps work by using a special attractant.  It’s supplied in powder form and you simply add water to it.  After a few days left to brew it will start to attract flies.  The beauty of these fly catchers is that they reacy to the temperature.  On a cool day when there are less flies around you’ll barely notice it but on a hot day when the flies are most active you’ll notice it’s attractive odour.  When the instruction tell you to use it away from where you live and spend time there is a good reason.  Ideally they should be placed in a infrequently used area of your garden that still receives fully sunshine.  Each fly trap will catch several thousand flies preventing them from breeding.  It’s not a pretty sight so another reason to position it away from the house.  Once the trap is full the contents can be added to the compost heap or simply put in the bin.
