Pestects Mosquito Repellent Bracelet

Well what do you know a oroduct that works, I do maintenance at our local scout campsite which has a resident mosquito group living on site, these bands prevent bites, my fellow maintenance crew members get the bites instead of me. Highly recommended

I bought these in 2024 after we came back from turkey bitten to shreds by mozzies, this year we took them with us when we went back to turkey for our 2025 holiday - id forgotten about them but thought they why not give them a try?!? they looked nice and feel comfortable ! We as a family of four returned yesterday after wearing these for 7 days in stupid heat and not one bite was received ! Will absolutely buy again

I bought the Pestects Mosquito Repellent Bracelets with some doubt before traveling to India, but to my surprise, they actually worked quite well! They provided good protection against mosquitoes, and I liked that they are DEET-free and safe for both adults and kids. However, I noticed that once the bracelet gets damp or wet, its effectiveness decreases, which was a bit disappointing. Despite that, when dry, it does the job well and lasted a good amount of time. Overall, a great natural alternative for repelling mosquitoes—just keep them dry for the best results!

I can see from other reviews that these have worked for most people, unfortunately this was not the case with us. We bought two packs of these for our trip to Philippines, knowing that during this time of year there are a lot of mosquitoes. Whilst they seemed to work for the first few days in the city, once we reached a more rural area they just seemed to stop working. We even got bites around the bands even though we all wore two, on the wrist and ankle as suggested. Perhaps if you are just visiting a city these might work really well, but not as much in the countryside. Also be wary about using light coloured towels or clothing with these as the colours will bleed and stain. The packaging says the scent lasts for 20 days, but we found it lasted for maybe 4 or 5 days at most. You may need to get someone to tie these for you as doing it yourself can be a bit fiddly. Whilst I love the idea and aesthetics of these, unfortunately they did not work as well as we hoped.

Having seen these advertised on Facebook I was a bit skeptical but for the price decided they were worth a go! (If anything they’d look cute and match different outfits!) Last summer in France my extended family had gotten eaten alive by mosquitoes and it more or less left residual trauma… think blotchy legs resembling something out of an infection based horror movie. No one wanted that again. So I purchased these. For the entire 2 weeks, I wore one on my wrist and ankle. (Along with my usual ritual of soaking myself in skin so soft) and I did not get bitten once! How do I know they were effective? Apart from each night going on a mosquito killing spree in the room before bed. Everyone else got at least 2-3 bad bites—when they weren’t wearing their bracelets! Unbelievably impressed with this purchase and we will be stocking up again before any other holiday! Points to note: What I did notice was after a day or so, they started to lose their smell. I’m not entirely sure if this would lower the overall effectiveness over time, so to counter this, I rotated bracelets each day. I had a set of four, wore two and placed the used two back in the original sealed bag. This kept them fresh each day. Towards the end of the two weeks, there was barely any smell and if that did signal the bracelet becoming ineffective, it would be worth having two packs for longer trips. Advertising claims they are waterproof. This is a point we are not sure on. One dip in a pool and they smelt like chlorine. So we opted for the safe option to take them off if we went swimming and right back on after. They do smell exceptionally strong when you open them, which may irritate some people. But this was a small compromise and preferable to becoming a mosquito main course! Overall I’m really impressed with these and will definitely be purchasing in the future!

Good colour choice and effective / good value too

Used on holiday and recount them the next year. Think they make a difference!!

Bought as they were all over my socials last summer and I get bitten by everything. They are pretty, but did not keep the mossies away. When sitting in the sun, the colour from the band would bleed onto my skin, same when i went into sea, pool or shower. So you need to keep taking them on and off, to prevent having coloured dye on your skin and clothes. Sadly as waste of money.
