The retailer says it has seen huge interest in methods of getting rid of bedbugs
Poundland is to sell a £4 bedbug spray from 10am on Wednesday after seeing searches for the product rise on its new website, Poundland.co.uk. France has been infested with bed bugs with schools closed and the government holding emergency meetings to address the crisis - and pest control experts in the Uk have reported a huge surge in reports of cases here.
Local authorities say they are experiencing an ‘alarming number’ of bed bug related enquiries. Data released by Google showed that searches for bed bug spray had exploded in London, Leicester, Manchester and Bristol. Poundland’s online spray is almost half the price of the same item on Amazon. The spray is expected to be popular with back-to-college shoppers. Only last month a leading British mattress firm released data that showed that university mattresses may be up to 10 years old.
Last month Poundland opened its online doors so customers can now order from a range of around 3,000 items for home delivery, offering items at the same prices found in Poundland’s high street stores, delivered to customers’ doors for as little as £1.
