I Am Sold - The Product is Absolutely Brilliant

1st July 2010

I recently won a gift basket that contained a bottle of your “NO Germs” hand sanitizer product.  To be honest I put it aside thinking that I would never use it but tried some after cleaning up a dog accident.   I am sold - the product is absolutely brilliant, it seems to cleanse without drying and leaves a very pleasant reminder that your hands are clean and germ free.  These days I keep the bottle in my jacket pocket so that when I am walking on the beach, picking up the dog doings and generally touching stuff on the beach, I can be confident that any bugs are gone…  I also take it to the supermarket and give my hands a wipe when I return to the car after shopping and touching trolleys and shelves… 

Thanks Kiwicare a really great product ..

I don't know what you put in the "NO Wasps" but it certainly did the trick.

26th April 2010

I puffed a bit into the nest Thursday night and the wasps spent all day Friday dying. Buy Friday night I could not see any more going in or out of the nest and this morning no action from the wasps.

Total annihilation!!!

NO Ants Outdoors

26th April 2010

Elaine called Kiwicare for advice on dealing with ants that were pestering her and her family on their deck. They had already used some bait to knock the numbers down but wanted some solution to stop the ants being such a nuisance. We advised the use of NO Ants Outdoors or NO Insects Lawngard Prills sprinkled around the deck as a barrier. Elaine wrote back to Kiwicare:

Since sprinkling "NO Ants Outdoors" where the ants came onto our deck, we've not seen another one. To think that we put up with them all summer long!

Yours sincerely

Elaine

Grow Your Melons with Kiwicare

19th April 2010

Lynda Hallinan of NZ Gardener magazine wrote an interesting article about growing her melons......

Meanwhile, my assistant Rachel has been winding me up this week by emailing photos of her watermelons.

We both sowed the golden-fleshed cutie 'Baby Doll' in spring but, whereas mine came to nothing (I got a few flowers but no fruit), Rachel's proved to be a star. She planted hers in a pot and despite a serious lack of water over the Christmas holidays, it set three little green melons that fattened up nicely. I think the secret was feeding. Rachel says she gave her plant a weekly dose of Kiwicare's Organic Fertiliser (this stuff pongs to high heaven but works wonders). 'Baby Doll' melons are the perfect size to eat in one go so Rachel reckons she'll definitely be growing more next year. As for the taste? Uber-sweet and seriously juicy, apparently.

NO Possums Eating the Chicken Eggs

17th February 2010

Possums will certainly go after eggs. They will also eat newly hatched chicks in their tree nests as well. They have been caught on film, doing just that. There is a really good possum bait that can be nailed to a tree, out of the way of livestock and lasts a year in the elements. Its expensive, but less labour intensive than the old baits. The bait station looks like a yellow margarine container.

What Howick Kindergarten think of Kiwicare.

We have just discovered your Organic Safari Insect Repellent Wipes

1st November 2009

Dear Kiwicare,

We have just discovered your Organic Safari Insect Repellent Wipes.  What a great product! It is about time someone cut the crap out of a simple product like wipes and made one that is safe to use.

During a recent Safari trip to Africa we were distressed to see parents readily using .... DEET based products on their children. We used only natural products on our 2 year old son that worked very well. A big thank you and keep up the good work! We'll be spreading the word to all the other parents we know.....I'm sure your sales will be up! Great to be able to buy it in Pac' n Save too.

Best regards,

Jordi Scott-Smith

We had no idea that such an extensive range of locally produced material was available

29th April 2009

We had no idea that such an extensive range of locally produced material was available and will be very pleased to purchase your products when next the need arises.

Thanks again

This product is great. ......the best thing to hit NZ

27th April 2009

NO Possums Cholecalciferol Gel Bait has been used to protect Blue Duck and other birds in the area of the Mingha Pass and Arthur's Pass. Sam McLeod is employed by the Coast to Coast organisers to control possums in these areas. Sam says "The bait gave a 95-99% kill rate. The bait was first put out in February 2008 and is still in place and working 15 months later. There was zero interference from Kea."

"This product is a good alternative to 1080. Its use should be promoted by the government."

"This product has been the best thing to hit NZ since the possum arrived."

Great people, great service and a great product.

3rd April 2009

Good morning and thank you.  I would like you to know that your prompt and friendly reply from Helen to my recent problem with one of your products was much appreciated. A company that actually contacts it's customer and follows through on its promise.....a rare occurrence these days. My replacement product was delivered by one of your merchandisers here in New Plymouth with a smile and apology.

I do not have a particular problem but find that if I use the bomb before Summer and at the end it eliminates insects and flies. As I have high ceilings I really hate seeing webs dangling from my rafters like Christmas decorations!! Flies may come in but they sure don't last long...fleas do not seem to like my house either and keep well away even though the house may be unoccupied for a few weeks. What a wonderful product I have found. Thanks.

Great people, great service and a great product. Thank you.

The house is no longer a scary place!

27th March 2009

Thank you for your help, so far so good with everything. That latest round of bombs brought up more dead roaches, even in the one room we thought had none, the living room.  We found one dead under the sofa.  Since then 2 weeks ago oddly a few dead nymphs were all around the edge of the bath.  We thought that was strange and wonder where the sack would have been dropped.  We hardly ever use the bath so we wonder it that drain would be a favourable moist home.  To date I have caught 4 roaches in the bathroom, so one of them must have left an egg sack.  So all in all, other that those new dead nymphs in the bathroom, there have been no roach sightings at all!!!!  It makes a pleasant change to finding them anywhere, anytime, any day! I will continue to use more bombs if any roaches pop up again as you suggested. 

So far the new traps are empty!!!  I keep checking them daily! Success!

So thank you very much for your advice and products.  We had such a bad infestation I still can't believe I haven't seen one for a few weeks!!!!  I think as long as I continue with the outside spray, traps and bombs I can keep winning against the buggers!

Again thank you so much, the house is no longer a scary place!

Take a Bow Kiwicare

A Kiwicare customer recently added a comment about Kiwicare Customer Service to the February 2009 Newsletter of her Working Solutions business consultancy company.

"I had a nice surprise earlier this month.  Two years ago I emailed the Kiwicare company, who market the NO Range of pest and weed control products.  I contacted them because I had a rodent problem.  I don’t want to go into it, I’ve banned the experience to the recesses of my mind and you don’t want to go there.  But Kiwicare were really helpful.  Friendly, chatty, quick responses by email with information and support."

"The saga of Gerald (the rat) did indeed have a happy ending for Kiwicare, not so for my linen or Gerald.  After munching through the bait blocks and another 100g quantity of NO Rats or Mice, we noticed a distinct lack of new “sign” anywhere in the house"

"Two years later and just a few weeks ago I received another email from the National Sales Manager, who had been cleaning out his inbox and thought he’d just get in touch to see how the story ended.  That was nice enough.  In addition however he offered me the choice of a free product from their range which he would post to me as a gesture of thanks for using their products."

"Wow.  I was pleased with their customer service at the beginning.  To be contacted two years later is impressive.  To be offered a freebie has converted me to a loyal customer who will buy their brand above others next time.  And I’ve told heaps of my friends about the experience (and I’m happy to be promoting them in this newsletter!!)  Take a bow Kiwicare."

Well Done Team

23rd February 2009

"After years battling ants in my home with sand, liquids and 'bombs', with no noticeable effect, I recently tried your (Kiwicare) Gel Bait and am just thrilled with the results."

"I believe that the walls of my 100 year old home are totally infested with ants, judging by the ubiquitous ant smell and the quantities I regularly vacuum up. But I am sure they are reducing in numbers at long last - thanks to your product."

"Well done Team!"
