West Nile Virus Exiled, Nature Preserved.

We use this product on a Certified National Wildlife Federation Habitat which has a large pond that is a wild-life haven (Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, Wild Turkeys, Red Fox, White-tail Deer, Bull Frogs, Crayfish, Mollusks, Bass, Perch, etc.). We use "Summit 20-Pack Mosquito Dunks" on the pond and this product on standing puddles and other smaller bodies of water after large storms.

The combination is highly effective in suppressing mosquitoes but doesn't seem to effect any of the other wild-life. These products couldn't be simpler to use and seem to last about a month.

When conscientiously applied the net result is a radically reduced West Nile virus threat and peaceful time enjoying the great outdoors. -- Highly recommended!

We had planned our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic before the Zika virus was so well known and publicly talked about.  My doctor originally said it wasn't a big deal and to go as planned, but then she changed her mind and wanted us to cancel our honeymoon (in any locations that had Zika virus).  Well, the Zika virus was not covered as a medical reason to cancel so we decided to go as planned. This meant my new husband I both needed the best protection possible to protect us from getting mosquito bites while there.  I read all of the reviews and decided on this product and am so glad that I did. We used it religiously the entire week and we never once saw a mosquito. Other guests were complaining about getting bites, but we never had a problem. I really think it was this product.  We have continued using it since coming back home to the US and still really like it.  We have even purchased more to use the rest of the summer/fall. I don't love putting it on my face since it is a little greasy at first, but I have gotten used to it and not any issues with breaking out because of it. Love this product and highly recommend it.

Worked great for us when we went to the Caribbean during the time when the Chikungunya virus was active. We had no bites when wearing this.

This is a must buy for the spring and summer seasons. Great smell and you can put it in the ground or in potted plants to eliminate the chances of getting annoyed by mosquitoes. I specifically bought it since I want to protect my family from the West Nile virus, the Zica virus and any kind of sickness transmitted by the aedes aegypti range. I even bring them to my kids soccer practices....better safe than sorry. Mom on the move!

We live in an area with West Nile and Zika virus not to mention how the mosquitoes go for me when I go out of the door.  I have been wearing these pants and they totally work.  Can't stand mosquito repellent and feel like I need a shower after applying it.  No more repellent for me!

My (2) mantis arrived healthy from WA, to CA. They are young too so I can watch them grow. They enjoyed some fruit flys right after they were transferred into their new environment and hope I can put them in my garden soon and hope they eat the baby grasshoppers invading my garden. I named one Al Green, and the other El Rocho.

An eye-opening review of the impact of viruses on world history.  An interesting read that will be appreciated by the layman and medical professional.  It will provide a little continuing education for those in any medical field.

I live next to the Missouri River, and mosquitoes can get really bad in the evening, so thick that it can make you go inside. We have tried multiple items to help with this. These bracelets worked great and repelled mosquitoes. I really like how they are reusable. kids thought they were cool to wear.

Using the mosquito bracelets is new to us, but even in the desert we get them. After a raining season the pesky mosquito's came out in droves making it difficult to enjoy our back yard on cool evenings. The bracelets worked very well t keep us from being eaten. The bracelet does have a scent, but it is not unpleasant at all. And they are certainly simple enough to put on. I have been storing them after use in a zip lock bag to wear again. I do not know at this point how long they will last, but so far it has been three evenings, with no issues. Thank You

Nature has its own lethal armory in the form of plagues exploding into epidemics that spread over global areas as pandemics.  In this very short introduction to diseases that have ravaged populations, University of Virginia History  Professor Christian McMillen chronicles the background of seven feared infections, starting with the historic Plague and continuing on to the dreaded Smallpox, Cholera, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Influenza, and finally HIV/AIDS.  Some of these outbreaks are periodic such as the flu, while others like malaria and HIV persist over time.  With the advance of medical science some diseases have come under control with vaccines, medications, sanitation, and education.  This short but comprehensive study of pandemics reviews the economic, social, and political factors that operate when the  disease strikes and the precautions adopted to limit contagion and reoccurrence.  Poverty, dense populations, cultural beliefs, and increased mobility of the population enable the human vector to transmit the infective organism. The history of past and present pandemics is impressively described, and the author cautions that this history should serve as a lesson for possible future incidents that may arise especially as crowding and mobility increase.  The reader might reflect on the Zika, Ebola viruses and the unpredictable mutagenic strains of the influenza bug along with other potential threats.

Kept the mosquitoes away. A bit heavy for a tropical environment but doable.

My brother and I got these for a trip to Beaufort, SC.  The mosquitoes/gnat didn't bother us one bit.  Even with the hood on, you don't feel too hot muggy (no more than you would not wearing it).  It isn't overly delicate (you don't have to worry about catching it on a stick and ripping it in half).

Only downside is the repelling agent infused into the fabric is only supposed to last 25 washes or so.  So, $50 jacket or 1 can of bug spray with Deet......you decide.

News of the Zika virus made me want to do all I could to prevent mosquito bites during my recent visit to Puerto Rico, and I'm pleased to report that these mosquito repellent bracelets helped make this prevention possible.  The scent wasn't overpowering or unpleasant, and the potency of the bracelets themselves was long-lasting.  They are also adjustable, so they will fit well around any sized wrist or ankle.  I highly recommend these bracelets to keep away mosquitos; hopefully they will work just as well for you as they did for me.

I live in Central Florida and the Zika virus is on the news daily. I purchased these bands to help combat all mosquitos. So far it's working. I wear one whenever I go outdoors and recommend everyone does also. I received a discount on this item for a truthful review. These are my opinions only.

These mosquito bracelets REALLY work!  We live in TX and the mosquitoes here are just horrible.  We spend a lot of time outdoors and these are a MUST HAVE living here.  I bought some for my friend who does a lot of gardening, and he says he is no longer bothered by the mosquitoes. We have Zita virus here in TX, and the mosquitoes are more than just an annoyance, they are a health hazard as well.  These really keep them away!  One bracelet lasts awhile (about 1 week,  if stored in a zip lock bag between uses. If the mosquitoes are really bad, put one on your wrist, and one on your ankle for complete coverage.  Once you no longer smell the citronella, it's time to change the bracelet.  These are so reasonably priced, it's not an issue.  I bought an expensive Mosquito repellent lamp, and the citronella strips only lasted about 4 - 6 hours  and are very expensive.  They worked OK, but not nearly as good as these do.

They work perfectly...have killed thousands...maybe millions of mosquitoes. One AG consultant
recommends putting water in a shallow container and placing a dunk in it.  The females
will lay their eggs in the water and everything will die....  I did it and it works...

Swampy and perpetually muddy areas abound around us and this product worked very well to broadcast over the mud and still water when the dunks were too compacted to help.  It rains frequently and when it does, these muddy areas get about an inch of water and are perfect for mosquitos breeding.  I started early this past spring and was very pleased with the lower mosquito count this summer.

Update March 2012:  Now is the time to put this stuff out!  If you catch the first batch of larvae, then they won't get a chance to breed and you won't be battling as many later in the season.  I put Mosquito Bits out in February 2011 and noticed a significant lack of mosquitos later on in the season when working in my garden and sitting in the yard.  I just put it down again last week. -  Check trees for hidden water holes and range far enough out to limit mosquitos coming your way.  I read somewhere that they have about an acre and a half range.  I ask my neighbors if I can put it down on their properties and they have always said an enthusiastic Yes (of course).  Don't expect them to take care of the problem.
