I use a mosquito repellent to kill ants.

What other products do you use for what purposes?

    The boring one I do most often is shopping bags (non-reusable) for trash can liners.

    One I’ve heard of but not done is wasp spray as pepper spray /people repellant.

      I like to use the plastic wrappers that toilet rolls are sold in for waste bin liners. I don’t know about other places, or even manufacturers, but the ones I buy come in a wrapper that doesn’t have any holes except the one I tear to get at the rolls in the first place. All I need to do is widen that a bit once the rolls have run out and it’s ready for any bin or bucket I might be using.

      I’m also using an old shredder bin as a waste bin because the shredder part died. Decided I might as well hang on to the lower part. Perfectly usable receptacle.

      It’s rubbish, but that only makes it more apt!

        Who Gives A Crap.

        I’m not being snarky. That’s a bamboo sourced toilet paper that doesn’t use plastic and ships right to your door. I like to bring them up a lot because I like the product and the service and the environmental impact.

          In principle, I’m all for that. In practice, I’m on a shoestring budget and when serviceable toilet paper can be had for half the price of a bamboo roll, I have to take the cheaper option.

            Ahhh, that’s a different story. In that case, steal gas station TP until you can save up for a bidet attachment.

      that might actually be a war crime because I think wasp spray is a neurotoxin

      Which on reflection makes me like it more.
