PARA'KITO Mosquito Repellent Bracelets, Bug Repellent Bracelets, Natural Essential, Spray Alternatives for Beach, Camping, Hiking (Black)

Took them camping, the two in our party that seem to always attract mosquitoes and react badly to their bites seemed unaffected this trip. Really like no chemicals, all natural oils. I would recommend them based on our experience. The only thing is in California though I can order the wrist band with 2 pellets, they will not allow me to buy refills saying it cannot be shipped to our address, very frustrating. I will but again.

We took a trip to Puerto Rico in October. We haven't been there in years. We bought the bands for a few reasons. Easy to carry. Not having to apply or spray mosquito repellent every day. We knew that mosquitoes would bite cause we are so called fresh meat there. I bought these for my 80 year old dad and he kept it on all day and did not take off until we were back in the States. Very easy to put on. Not a single bite of mosquitos on us.

I just got back from a trip to central america, and yes, I purchased the PARA'KITO for the mosquito bites, that I seem to attract at every vacation trip I take. now, the question is, would i wear this bracelet again. to keep it short, the answer is YES, but did it do the job at 100%, no, but the difference was noticeable. the package comes with 2 scented tablets, so I wore one on the bracelet, and I tied another one on my backpack. and at night I placed my backpack on one end of the bed, and the bracelet on the other end while I slept. the scent does seem to repel the mosquitoes, as they were visible around my "PARA'KITO bubble". but somehow the scent was not pleasing to them, and kept a distance. I did get bit here and there, but was nothing, compared to all my previous visits. I would recommend it, 100%. if you want 100% protection, then it would be not to be around mosquitoes, or bathed in mosquito spray. enjoy your next trip.

I went to Africa and knew I needed something to repel the bugs but I don’t want to spray myself with spray that let’s face it smells terrible ! This band did the trick. I just put it on my ankle for the whole 2 weeks and I never got bit once !

I live in Florida and generally don't have a problem with mosquitoes, but on my last few trips to the Cayman islands I came home with welts that people swore had to be from giant spider bites. Nope, little mosquitoes. So this trip I tried to be prepared and got two of these bands. Wore one on my right wrist, the other my left ankle. I swear it attracted those little buggers instead of repelling them. I am covered in bites, including on the ankle and wrist that housed the bracelets with cartridge.

I got this to combat the Asian Tiger Mosquito INSIDE MY HOUSE after we sprayed for mosquitoes outside and they all decided to move inside. I'm not sure how this works with other species, but it does not work specifically for the Asian Tiger species. I've watched them literally land on the wristband and rest after sucking out half of my blood. It's being treated like a park bench in central park where middle management guys can enjoy a sack lunch.

Bracelets like this are not so much a repellant as they are a scent mask. It keeps mosquitos from swarming to your location by messing with the scent receptors used to detect your breath and skin secretions. It will not stop a mosquito that randomly lands on you from biting you. This should be used in conjunction with DEET or Picaridin on the skin and Permethrin treated clothing and gear. Warning: the smell is EXTREMELY strong right after opening. Do not wear this in enclosed spaces during the first 2 days, because it will be overpowering. I wanted to cry while driving. After that it tapers off. You can put it in double ziploc bags to keep it from degrading between uses and to mask the smell.

Just get it, no joke the scent is there but after a while you don't even notice. I think the odd times you smell it matters little when you're not fishing every second to keep the mosquitos at bay. Already planning on getting more color options cause why not.

El envío llegó según lo indicado y el funcionamiento fue bueno, no hace milagros, pero para lo que me suelen picar, se redujo bastante.

Quick and no fuss delivery. product is amazing, it keep mosquitos away.

We found that mosquitos didn't pester us as we walked through areas where we would expect to be attacked by them. However we found it doesn't work on its own once you stop walking to set up camp. The product info says this too, so I guess it is not a substitute for insect repellent. But you might be able to avoid wearing repellent while you're walking if you use this product. It's also kind of expensive for what it is.
