Bug Guards, ankle & wrist bands

[rockyracoon]

I'm getting eaten alive in my garden by mossies, has any tried the ankle and wrist bands available, if so do they work?

Many thanks for any answers.

Get some Avon Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Body Spray, this really does work

http://www.arnywear.co.uk/ this is the fabric i used. Us adult used the avon stuff but i cant stand the smell

I found the fabric in my local tesco by the suntan lotions. All you do is wear it somewhere on your person and the movement of the fabric releases the chemicals that the mozzies dont like.

as i said, i tied my ones to the childrens pushchairs and we were safe to take them out in the eves and the fabric kept the mozzies away.

Just found the website but almost everyting is sold out. Will try Tesco, thanks redcrx. Also thank you mosesg, I may get that if I can't get the fabric.

Avon Skin So Soft - since I started using this I've gone from having 30 bites at once to only having one or two a summer.

I travel to India every year and take a couple of Boots roll on repellants.
I use around neck, wrists and ankles, feet and elbows and refresh every couple of hours, easy to pop in your bag, it works for me the bands dont. I also take an afterbite just incase.
