B&M has expanded its pest control range with the launch of the Solar Buzzkill, a solar-powered insect zapper priced at £8. The product is designed to attract and kill flying pests using UV light, drawing power exclusively from the sun. The discount retailer has issued a 'Hurry Low Stock' notice on the item, indicating limited availability across its 700-plus stores.
How the Solar Buzzkill Works
According to B&M, the device uses solar energy to operate, requiring daylight to function. It emits UV light to attract flies and other flying insects, then zaps them upon contact. No batteries are needed, making it an eco-friendly option for pest control. The product is intended for outdoor or indoor placement near windows or doors to keep flies at bay.
Summer Heat Drives Fly Infestations
The UK has recently experienced a heatwave, with the Met Office issuing red weather warnings. High temperatures create ideal breeding conditions for flies, which seek food and shelter indoors. B&M's new offering aims to help customers manage the seasonal pest surge without relying on chemical sprays or traps.
Availability and Purchase Details
The Solar Buzzkill is available exclusively for in-store collection; no home delivery option is currently offered. B&M advises customers to check stock online using the store finder tool by entering their postcode to locate nearby stores with the product in stock. Given the 'Hurry Low Stock' alert, shoppers are encouraged to act quickly to secure the item.
