One day, the parking uncle came to our shop.
Uncle: my house ah... got a lot of ants. I tried the chalk la..i tried the spray la.. everything la. All also so expensive. All also cannot work.
Me: oh then you should try our OMG insects. Worked for me. I just spray on my kitchen table and wipe dry. No more ants after that.
Uncle : *disbelief face* sure or not. How much is it?
Me: Rm7 one liter only.
Uncle: Okay. Give me one liter. I go home and try and see how. My house everywhere also got ants wan. Alot. Everywhere.
Me: *sweat* so much ah? then you use some and dilute and mop the floor also la. okay?
Uncle : Can mop also ah?
Me: yes yes. 1 part to 50 parts of water.
Uncle: need to rinse or not?
Me: no need. just leave it dry like mopping floor.
