Make sure to wear repellant and you should be fine. We got a good one from dialprix the next day and it didnt smell bad either.

Post by: steve watson on June 06, 2022, 10:57.: Sorry for late reply, they are spraying on a regular basis, not sure when it is mentioned in the gran Alacant advertiser, family gone back today only a few bites. They are still about the little blitters. We were spraying ourselves before going out.

Post by: puddy-woo on June 08, 2022, 08:20.: Also sorry for late response. The spray from Dialprix is called Bloom. There are a few different ‘flavours’ but we are using the tropical and it seems to work
