Wow CLKD, who knew.

Seriously though I do try not to use strong chemicals, if I can help it. Sometimes it is necessary.

It's been known for years.  I live in Hunting Country which is flooded with foxes ........ I think it maybe the vinegar that works.

Haha! Which is worse - the smell of fox poo on the dog, or tomato ketchup all over the furniture after applying it to the dog to stop the smell? Mine is a s*d for rolling in anything smelly.

Can I give a Christmas tip, I always wrap my presents on the ironing board  ::) the height is perfect and I can do I in front of the TVs to make it less tedious.  I still don't like doing it, the first few presents are quite nicely packed, but then it goes down hill very quickly  ;D

My son in law's sister wraps christmas presents in brown parcel paper with a colourful bow and brown tag. It is quite effective and means that the paper can be used again.

Yes she did look on their web sight, but she ended up buying a silver cloth with a very mild solution in it which seems to have worked well.

I made a right mess of wrapping presents yesterday. They look poor. I cut the paper too small to wrap around the presents, tore holes in the paper with the sellotape, and even sellotaped the scissors to the present at one stage!. Disaster.

How about a roll of brown packing paper, cut out shapes from last year's cards and stick on?  Bright enough?  Mine will be lucky to get wrapped this year  :-\
