Following on from last month’s National Garden Month, May is National BBQ month. If you spent April cleaning your furniture and feeding your plants, then this month you might be ready to tackle some of the problematic areas of your garden making sure it’s the perfect spot to host a BBQ.

Our Ecofective Natural Path, Patio and Decking cleaner is perfect for cleaning away dirt and grime from your hard surfaces. However, if the warmer and wet weather conditions over the last month have caused the weeds to grow in between your paving, then you will need something a little stronger. SPOT-ON Fast Acting Weedkiller is ready to use spray which kills off weeds with visible results in 24 hours. For best results, use on a dry day by simply spraying on to your affected patio, driveway or path.

Next up, is your pet causing parts of your lawn to become discoloured? If so, then you need to try our GET OFF Outdoor Lawn Rescue. Made with a unique formulation, it has been specifically developed to neutralise the acid damage caused by pet urine to lawns. Lawn Rescue also contains natural growth promoters and nutrients to encourage faster grass growth in the affected area, as well as being non-toxic and 100% biodegradable.

Your garden should now be BBQ ready, but unfortunately the one thing we can’t rely on in May (or any month) is the British weather. If the rain forces you to enjoy your BBQ feast indoors, then make sure you don’t bring the insects inside with you. The Aeroxon range features a selection of products to help solve your insect problems.

Keep your windows open, but the insects outside by attaching an Aeroxon Window Fly Screen to the inside of the frame. Made from a fine-meshed polyester, the screen provides long lasting and effective protection against flies, wasps, moths and spiders. What’s more, it can be easily removed, put in the washing machine and re-attached.

If you live near woodland, or in a rural area and need something a little stronger for tackling flies, then we’d recommend hanging an Aeroxon Fly Catcher. The non-toxic glue trap is made from natural ingredients and is effective for 8 weeks so long as it is kept away from draughts and bright sunshine. Flies are attracted to the hanging spiral shape with its natural resins, before becoming trapped by its sticky surface. You will receive 4 fly catchers in each pack - enough to keep those pesky flies at bay all summer long!

Sadly we can’t provide the sunshine for your BBQs, but hopefully we have helped find solutions to some of the problematic areas within your outside spaces.
