Avon SSS not as effective anymore?

[Achinghips]

What's this all about? Just bought a shed load of it Any ideas apart from citronella oil how to make it more effective and go further - now it's as expensive as purpose made fly spray .....

Mines just as effective. I use Avon SS, Citranella, Tea Tree Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Vinegar and then top with water.

They changed the formula about two books ago, so I bulk bought because I had a feeling that would happen!

What made you think they may change the formula. Why would they do that. Surely they will now lose a fortune, horse owners must be their biggest customers. If it no longer works we will no longer buy it. Madness on the part of Avon.

there were a few posts in NL that mentioned it in passing ...
