A £3.99 spider repellent is flying off the shelves at Aldi

A £4 bottle of spider repellent has hit the shelves at Aldi and just as quickly it looks like it won't be there for long.

The cooler months ahead mean creepy-crawly spiders will be setting up home in our living rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms.

That has sparked consumers to share their best tips for keeping them at a distance with this spray claiming to be a new natural but powerful repellent.

The bottle cost up to £6.49 elsewhere but for £3.99 customers can pick up a bottle of Zero In spider repellent that is ready to use, minty and deters unwanted guests without harming them.

A post in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group said: "£3.99 from Aldi! Worth a go!"

It now has 17,000 comments that have caused alarm for one person who was hoping to move to the UK: "Uhm, 17k comments on spider spray??! Is this a big problem in the UK?? All of a sudden I'm second guessing this move"

For some, the picture of a spider on the product was too much (Facebook)

Others thought it was a great bargain but couldn't stand the picture of the spider on the bottom of the bottle: "I wouldn’t wanna touch it just because of the pic on the bottle...is it just me?!"

Someone else agreed and said: "With the size of the spider pictured on there I don’t think I could even hold the bottle."

For some, the peppermint smell made them think that a full body spray is a way to keep spiders away: "I'm going into town to get this when I get home I'm just going to use it on me like a perfume...each man for himself"

An Aldi customer said: "I did see this yesterday and thought i defo need to get it. Cant take these spiders anymore"

Another said: "It is good stuff....I paid £6.88 from Amazon for mine so what a great deal you got xx"
