Nice one.

The 'proper' pesticides are licensed, but you can get safer less effective products from suppliers, but they do help. Personally I have moved away from treatments and tell custy that regular cleans and hovering inbetween is the eco way to go. U have been back to many jobs and the problem hasn't got worse.

There is a huge difference in the price.  Craftex is £99 + VAT for 5L whereas Bio-Productions is £11.50 + VAT for 5L.  Both are ready to use.  The difference is a reflection of the fact that the Craftex one can actually destroy/penetrate the eggs and also has a residual effect for up to 12 months.

its a good selling point, telling the customer its active for a year.Might get a sticker made informing the custy when the treatments time is up.Usually get rug cleaning then too.
