I'm sure it would. It protects against all breeds of mosquitoes. Just make sure you have plenty of refills.

The "insect shield" is just a repellent of some kind. I paid extra for it, because I was going into some tropical swamps in Trinidad, and figured it would be worth it. Didn't make a difference - mosquitoes still swarmed around my head. Obviously, they can't get through the net, but it certainly didn't "hide" me, which is basically what repellent is supposed to do. Down there, even 98% DEET repellent only works for a few hours. The mosquitoes are larger, brutal monsters, different from our mosquitoes in northern Wisconsin. Basically, don't pay extra for the insect shield, because it makes no difference (at least in a tropical swamp). In the north-woods with normal mosquitoes, maybe it would make a difference.

It is recommended for mosquitos but I have not used it for that so I cannot give any first-hand expericence.

Yes, it is all you asked. Purchased 2 of these, traveled to Africa and they worked great!

I've had good results using this spray extensively in both Central America and the Tropical South Pacific. I did, however, get occasional bites, but I did *not* contract malaria. It's all a numbers game: It's about reducing, not eliminating, risk. You have to weigh for yourself the risks / benefits of DEET vs nonchemical repellents. I *can* with certainty, however, say this spray is no substitute for DEET when it comes to causing skin irritation or solvating plastics ;~P

I have used these here in Connecticut near the water with no bites, when everyone else was getting bites, but obviously if you are traveling somewhere where malaria is prevelent you shouldn't rely solely on this product, which may or may not work with your individual body chemistry.

Don't know! I found it was great in Singapore and Asia. I am usually a favorite treat for all insects. I did not get one bite while using it. My infectious disease doc recommended it

Live in Tampa FL and we have LOTS of mosquitos and flying bugs in general. Seems to be working pretty good, the container at the bottom gets pretty full with those pesky bugs. We're in the pool in the evening and we are not getting bombarded with Mosquitos. It works better than any of the other bug zappers I have tried. I would recommend you try it and give it a few days to work as the instruction direct.

according to the label it will repel all insects. I do have to say this is the best mosquito repellant I have ever used.

I honestly wouldn't recommend it. A friend of mine with sensitive skin had a rash from the band and they did not repel the mosquitoes at all.

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

I don't think its strong enough. I feel safer with a deet product like Deep Woods Off.

Hello Consumer, I wouldn't buy it, for it irritated my skin and burned my skin. I have not purchase or know anything about the soap you mentioned in your posting. I would try a local beauty supply store versus buying this African soap..

I have used this product for more than 20 years on my skin. I have not had any problems. I have used it all across the US, in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Uganda and in Peru. Most definitely I used this is areas that had Malaria and almost no mosquito bits on my body. Go strong for best protection.Great product and I will use this

Not sure as I am in north east. For me it only seems to work on mosquitoes and gnats. In my experiences it helps but its not a total solution.

T. Jee No this product is good for mosquito's. This past summer it really help me out in the yard. I can't help or suggest what you can do to rid yourself of lizards. Take care

The product info provided by Amazon.Com says: "It works great for outdoor outings, but should not be substituted for DEET-based products if you're traveling in severe insect conditions where Nest Nile virus or malaria may be prevalent. "
