People are rushing to their nearest Aldi to get their hands on a spider repellent spray that’s said to work wonders.
The Zero In Spider Repellent Spray is a natural, poison-free, welfare-friendly spider deterrent that looks to be ideal for anyone keen to keep the spiders away from their home as the temperature drops and the wet weather arrives this autumn and winter.
According to a description for the popular product, the Zero In Spider Repellent Spray contains mint – which works to repel spiders without harm.
The natural mint formula is supplied in a handy trigger bottle, meaning it’s ready to spray around windows and doors in the home to create a natural barrier against spiders and other crawling insects.
It’s also suitable for use around children or pets as it contains no poisons or chemicals.

Once applied in a problem area, the spray dries to leave a mint barrier around household entry points that works to repel insects, and it’s advised that you re-apply in target areas after cleaning or every two / three weeks to maintain effectiveness.
And it’s only £3.99 from Aldi.

A post spreading word of the affordable price of the spider repellent spray was shared with money-savvy shoppers on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK page on Facebook, with thousands of people seeming keen to try it out.
The post racked up a whopping 16,000 comments from eager shoppers.
“I had a big one run at me not once but twice on my bed [and] after we found it, we then pulled the whole room apart looking for more. I’m still waking up… I’m normally okay with spiders, but this one was too big and too fast [so I] will definitely be looking for this spray,” one person commented.

Another added: “I have a very large spider repellant spray [and it’s] worth its weight in gold.”

Aldi is looking for curious kids to become its first-ever ‘toy tester’
Emily Sergeant
Curious kids, this one’s for you… Aldi is currently looking for little ones to become its first-ever wooden toy tester.
With the sun showing its face more regularly now, and the temperatures heating up by the day, summer is very much on its way, and it won’t be long before the mini Mancs are getting to spend more time playing outdoors than in – which is why Aldi is now on the lookout for one lucky child to become its official Wooden Toy Tester.
The supermarket retailer is calling on children across the country – including here in Greater Manchester – to apply by explaining why they should be chosen and what make-believe dish they would cook up in their very own toy kitchen.
The successful winner will receive a selection of Aldi’s latest wooden toys for free to make sure they have everything they need to feel like they’re the head chef of their own garden.

All Aldi is asking in return is a short review of each of the toys, rating them on performance and fun factor to help guide the supermarket’s Buying Team on future product development.
In previous years, Aldi’s wooden toy launches have been so popular that the retailer has had to put a ‘two per shopper’ limit on purchases, so as you can imagine, this makes this adorable new job role even more in-demand.
“The nation’s love for our wooden toy range is undeniable, and our littlest shoppers are our most important critics,” commented Julie Ashfield, who is the Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK.
“We’re excited to appoint our first ever Wooden Toy Tester, to capture their experience and find out what makes the perfect playtime set-up, guaranteeing lots of giggles and fun.”
Fancy it then? For a chance to win the role of a lifetime, little hopefuls simply need to send a one-minute-long video to [email protected] with their name, age, location, what makes them the perfect fit for the role, and what dish they wood make in their wooden kitchen.
Applications close on 5 May, and Aldi’s Summer Wooden Toy range will be available in stores from 17 May.
