Mortein PowerGard All In One Insect Spray
Verified61 reviews
The absolutely worst fly spray I have ever used. It takes the flies an hour to die which is horrific to listen to, and it STINKS to high heaven. I can't do it anymore. It's going in the bin. The putrid stench is vile. Show details
Follow-up · No idea batch number, it went in the bin. Pets would go outside as soon as I sprayed it. Its highly toxic and the smell lasts for an hour or more. Smells like a morgue.
This stuff kills flies & humans or me almost when I spray this & get a smidgen of the smell or inhale a single particle, it near kills me I cough n spew & choke for 20 mins after it, idk why it’s never happened with other sprays or previous Mortiens BUT NEVER EVER BUYING THIS EVER AGAIN. Even after gargled water try n get out my throat I still cough really bad. I can how insects feel when they get a face full. Show details
Mortien NEEDS to end this product before I does kill someone
Smells horrible and lingers, doesn't seem to kill flies very fast if at all. I just sprayed it in the kitchen went away for 10mins and come back to 2 flies have a great time on the bench, so sprayed a different type and boom 30 seconds later I can hear a fly upside down dying. Worst part is I'm only half way through the can and still have another in the cupboard. Show details

Horrible smell and you really need to spray a lot in order for it to work. Won't be using it anymore. Show details
Toxic product – This product is toxic and smell stays for ages. I threw it in the bin because I couldn’t breathe after using it. Has this actually been tested for use? It can’t be good. Show details

A foul smell that will outlast religion – Used this outside on firewood to kill insects before taking it inside. The smell was so horrific my neighbour's even complained. I'm not game to use it inside the house despite that being its intended purpose. Show details

Toxic to health and stinks permanently – Toxic, stink does not go away. It’s misleading advertising and manufactured preferred retailers giving reviews which are opposite to Product reviews by actual users of the product. There are so many negative reviews on this product and other Morton products yet the product is still sold. There should be a class action and ACCC intervention as… Read more
the impact on users health is no doubt a real issue. Sore eyes and a smell that cannot be removed is the only purpose this product has.
I’ll be getting cleaners in to essentially remove the smell, and any exposed fabric to be steam cleaned. What ever the cost is, I will be claiming this from Mortein Company who know by now this product is not fit to be used in a home.
Very annoyed this has happened
DO NOT USE IT
Expensive, kills insects and germs, smells bad – I find the other reviews a bit surprising in regard to the spray working, as in my experience, it has been very effective at killing cockroaches, flys and mosquitos. I’ve gone through at least 5 cans of this spray and my biggest issue is the smell; it doesn’t smell like eucalyptus at all and the odour seems to fill the room for some reason. In… Read more
my opinion, as a pesticide, it should just be odourless. Its purpose is to kill insects and we as consumers have plenty of products like air freshener and scented candles to name a few. So to Mortein; I beg you go back to doing what you were good at making strong powerful pesticides and leave the fragrances to RB’s other brands.

Loooove it – Bought this insect killer spray to try instead of regular fly spray for a change, glad i did. Works very well on flies and spiders. this spray came to my rescue when a giant spider was walking around the lamp above my bed, i did have to basically drown the spider since it was being stubborn, but that's the spiders fault, not the spray, every other… Read more
slide has died instantly. I also love the smell, it doesn't smell like the typical fly spray, the can does say eucalyptus on the front of the can so i don't understand people being surprised by the scent. Maybe don't buy something with eucalyptus scent if you don't like it. Will 100% continue to buy this one!!
I hate insects – Saw a spider on my wall one night and almost shat myself. It ran down the back of my bed and I didn't know what to do so I gassed tf out of my bed and my walls skirting, found 2 dead spiders afterwards and feel so much better. People are complaining about the smell but the security it provides makes it smell like an angels armpits after a jog.
You know what I am going to say, don't You – YES, don't buy any other brand as you only get what you pay for. I bought a brand that claimed it is "low irritant". It is BUT it doesn't irritate the cockroaches either. I found the best way to kill thise pesky bugs is to either drown them or to physically hit them with the can. Don't waste you money just buy Mortein Show details
Negative reviews
Near death experience – This Product is produced by insects to kill humans. This is seriously dangerous and if you spray in a confined space and breathe any in you will be poisoned. You will think you are going to die. At first You start with a tickle in the throat then cough. The cough won’t stop and then you will violently throw up. This product needs to be… Read more
checked by the authorities and removed by the factory. The customers need to be compensated for near death experience.

Mortein fast knock down – Product is absolute rubbish. False advertising. Can States ( kills in one spray ) more like one can per fly. Was once a good product but now just rubbish. Show details
Hello Wayne, thank you for your review. We are very sorry… Read more
Smells horrible and doesn't work well – I love the old Mortein cockroach spray but this stuff is horrendous. The smell contaminates your whole home and you have to drench a spider to kill it. Cost me $20 at foodland and not worth the money at all. Show details

Worst smell ever – I do not know how this product was ever released to market. Major fail on the part of the focus group who said this smell was ok. It is a foul pungent smell which smells like bad body odour, like the underarm of a smelly wrestler. C’mon Mortein you can do better. Show details

Doesn’t kill flies – I’ve been literally chasing two flies around the house and spraying them over and over again. You’d have to drown them in this stuff. This product doesn’t kill them. House stinks and I can’t breathe though. Avoid. Show details

Don't waste your Money – Used Mortein Powergard 320g net, 9 months paid $17 AUD. Used around my cameras located outside of home "cobwebs problems" within 2 days cobwebs we're back. Cleaned and re sprayed 3 days later cobwebs We're back.! Disappointed in this brand name. Wouldn't recommend save your money. Show details

Absolutely gross stinky product – Doesn't work well and stinks so bad it ruins your whole house smell, gets in sinuses and tastes at the back of your throat possibly the worst insect spray I've ever used Show details

Smells Horrendous – This is by far the worst smelling spray I have ever used. Nothing eucalyptus about it. It’s like they forgot to add it. Truly disgusting smell. Show details
Fake advertising product – Says it's fast kills with one spray well I had over 6 flies in the house I used this spray and it didn't work at all totally a waste of money even when on special I would NEVER buy it again Show details
Absolute torture – This actually makes me feel like vomiting because of the smell. They should use it in the special forces to make enemies talk. One whiff of this and you'd open up immediately just to make it go away. Rank! Show details

Mortien are fraudulent scammers – Purchased multiple cans of mortien fly and mozzie killer and the only way it can kill a bug is if you literally spray every drop from the can and wait for it to drown. Absolutely ineffective and a total rip off. Can't even mail the company because regardless of what they claim on their website theres no send button. DO NOT BUY MORTIEN PRODUCTS! Show details
Stinks – Purchased for half price $7.50 usually $15 for this product that stinks. It takes the air away virtually. Cannot believe with all the negative feedback they are still flogging it. I also note that the regular Mortein is not as effective as it used to be. Show details
Cheap – Cheapest stuff I bought 2.50 a can from bunnings smells great kills instantly highly recommend. Worked great on our mosquito problem when I was spraying them them just all dropped dead... Show details
Useless – It stinks, it doesn't work. Eucalyptus does not smell anything like this. Found a rather large Huntsman, sprayed it, sprayed it, sprayed it a bit more...it ran away! Poor old Louie the fly must be rolling on his grave. What happened to this once great (working) product? Glad i paid just half price Show details
Do not purchase! – The smell is absolutely putrid and lingers around for hours! No matter how well the area is ventilated you will breathe in the fumes and feel horrible! Avoid, avoid, avoid! I have even reached out and recommended a product recall it is that bad!! Show details
Absolutely stinks! – This is the most disgusting smelling fly spray I’ve ever used. Yuck! And it lingers for a very long time stinking out the place. Can’t breathe with it around at all. Show details
Mortien Powergard is useless – After spraying ant trails and nests, and putting up with bad fumes, the ants were back the next day. Useless. Mortien has a lot to answer for. How can I get my money back Show details
Doesn’t Work – This product does not work I have sprayed the flies and they are still happily flying around. Not only this is that the spray itself has a really bad smell. It says Eucalyptus on the can but definitely isn’t. Also the nozzle spray seems to mismatch the direction of what you think it’s going in. Show details
