 Topic: Robocan Insect Spray
Posted: 20 January 2008 at 12:50pm |
Does anyone have one of these? I am thinking of getting one, but am worried about my allergies (I am very sensitive to flyspray) and any nasty effects on Ollie. Would love to hear from anyone who has one?

We have one! Love it, love it, love it! Safe around pets and kids as all natural.
We now only get the odd fly in the house and never see mosquitos! And we have the doors and windows open all day!

My in laws have one and they love it. They often have the doors open at their place and they only get the odd fly.

Me three! We bought one about three weeks ago because we couldn't stand all the flies, and rarely see any now - it even seems to have cut down the number of moths that come fluttering in after dusk if a window is still oepn. A little bit on the expensive side, but well worth the spend.

You can buy a smaller version of the Robocan from PaknSave for around $30.00 and the refills are only $13. We have one of those too and it actually works just as well as the full size one. Also way easier as you can easily buy the refills

I know they are supposed to be good and all, but I hate the idea of something being sprayed into the air I breathe every 15 mins or so... Every time I go to my friends place who has one I feel like I don't want to breathe like normal (silly I know)...
My in-laws use one at their place but they still have tons of flies... of course it doesn't help they live next to a paddock...

I just bought one on Sat coz the flies were driving me nuts and I love, love, love it! No more flies inside! They do hang around by the front door but they don't seem to come in.

we have an expra one, which is basically the same thing, but cheaper refills are $10 (i think) and the things themselves are about $40
i wouldn't be without one! you don't even notice the spray but you certainly notice the lack of flies....yay!

I have one of the robocan ones and wouldn't be without it now! It doesn't seem to bother Luke, though I am always aware of keeping him away from it as much as I can (just so it doesn't spray directly into the air around him). The thing I notice the most is the number of dead flies!!  Have to get better with the vacumming...

I absolutely my Robocan!! I decided we needed one when we had lots of flies coming in and going on the toys. We have had one for a month now and the difference is amazing no more flies! It started working straight away

I agree with everyone!!!! I would be lost without it! It's great! We keep it at the back door away from our rooms and we don't get any flies! They start to come in and then turn around and fly away!!
I would definately recommend this!
