Coles High Performance Surface Spray

Toxic to cats – My father sprayed it all around the kitchen and lounge room and when I walked in I immediately had an asthma attack. I've also had to take my 2 cats to the vets. One was frothing from the mouth and the other was having seizures. Hundreds of dollars for vet bills later I'd say no this spray is toxic to cats and NOT worth the risk. My father will never be allowed in my house again Show details

Coles must of changed contents – This surface spray is rubbish. Sprayed the floor around the skirting boards. Only to see more ants and cockroaches walk across it the next day. It was once very good, but that has since changed. We will never buy this again.  Show details

Greatest residual spray for total elimination of crawlies – The residual effect of the spray lasts for months. Spray floor around skirtings you will kill all cockroaches that enter your premises for months. Strong odour when first sprayed so open windows to remove smell Show details

Stinks the house out but works so well – Have battled with ants all season, have tried multiple products and came across this product in a forum somewhere. Would never have thought to use an aerosole product but this seriously works like no other product I have used. I have sprayed it near windowsills and doors and everywhere the insects would have been finding their way in.… Read more

Immediate results! No more ants. The spray does have an ammonia smell, so much so my husband initially thought one of the dogs must have urinated somewhere in the house but then I remembered I had sprayed the day before. So beware, while the spray works immediately on the Insects and has so far lasted at least 3 weeks, the smell lingers for a good 24 hours..

Smells awful! – The smell of the spray is pervading and dreadful! Its effectiveness is rendered unimportant when doors and windows have to be opened and fans put on to get rid of the ‘fragrance’. Show details

Beware - use a mask!!! – This might be a cheap product but please be careful - I thought I was going to need an ambulance. The overpowering fumes made me cough and I found it hard to breathe. The fumes lasted for ages and I couldn't go back into the room where I had used it for hours. I wrote to Coles suggesting that they put a really visible warning on the spray but… Read more

all I got was the usual spiel about caring for our customers, etc. etc. and a letter from them telling me I could take the item back for a refund if I took their letter to Coles. I won't be buying Coles brands again - yes they are cheap but not worth risking your health.

Best working surface spray – I live in a house frequented by large huntsman spiders and got this to deter them. I sprayed around the outside of my bedroom door frames and on the floor in front of the doors (yes I know huntsman are harmless, but they freak me out). Firstly, this stuff has an extremely strong smell that takes hours to fade to tolerable levels. Then whenever I… Read more

walked over the (dried) sprayed floor section the soles of my feet felt like they were burning, so I had to mop it off the floor.

But since then I have noticed dead bugs around the areas I left sprayed, and while I've only seen one dead huntsman (two others seemed to have survived just fine) it quickly kills every other bug that touches it. Yesterday a wasp got inside and landed on the door frame and soon after died, despite it being over 3 months since I sprayed. This stuff seriously works, if you can tolerate the smell and are not sensitive to strong chemicals. It actually works. Really strong smell that takes ages to fade, made the soles of my feet irritated after walking over it.
