Powdery repellent

Advantages: Keeps mosquitos at bay
Disadvantages: None really unless you don't like a spray

...AUTAN FAMILY CARE MOSQUITO REPELLENT Whe we went to Egypt over the easter holiday, I was fairly obsessed about not being bitten by mosquitos and so took several products with us, this being one of them WHAT IS IT? This is basically a mosquito repellent- it doesn?t state that it repels other biting bugs and insects but hopefully the same products work at repelling them. The repellent is delivered via fine powder particles which will apparently dry immediately and repel mosquitos for up to 4 hours. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The product comes in a 100ml aerosol can with a pull off lid and all of the instructions and information are on the back of the can When i spray the repellent onto exposed bits, it does in fact come out as promised- very fine particles which dry as soon as they touch the skin. Unusually for this type...

Review of Autan Family Care Insect Repellent

Wipe to repel

Advantages: They work
Disadvantages: disposing of the thing

...Jungle formula wipes When we were in Egypt for a recent holiday, there were quite alot of mosqitos. Having realised that this would probably be the case, I stocked up on mosquito repellent lotions and potions and these were one of the products. WHAT ARE THEY? These wipes promise to repel mosqitoes midges and other biting insects for up to 6 hours. They have apparently been approved by the hospital for tropical Diseases for use in countries where there is no known risk of malaria or other insect transmitted diseases. They won?t protect against these diseases so for anyone travelling where there is a risk, the extra strength wipes should be used. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The wipes themselves come in a box which is the usual Jungle Formula green colour and it has all of the instructions for use on the back of the box...

Repel At Your Driving Leisure

Advantages: Keeps the windscreen clear, low price per use
Disadvantages: The flip spout on my version was not efficient

...~~~ RainX Rain Repellent ~~~ RainX Rain Repellent is a product made for car windscreens (front, back and sides) and as the name suggests it repels rain, sleet and snow from the windscreen. In fact I have found that it actually stops dead bugs from remaining on the windscreen until you give the car a good old wash. On that note...I've never quite understood how bugs manage to get stuck but that is a whole other story. Basically this product keeps the windscreen clear. Nothing seems to stick to the screen, the raindrops simply slide off and if you are moving, the wind pushes the debris away. The product is a silicon polymer which when applied to the windscreens creates a barrier between the wipers and the screen. This allows rain, sleet snow to slide off, but also the wipers just glide across clearing the screen...

Review of RainX Rain Repellent

One of the best insect repellents around

Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly
Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work

...I bought this product this year after previously owning the 100 deet repellent, which is far stronger. However i will have to say that if i had the choice against i would definitely buy the 50 instead and for the following reasons: 1. It is not as smelly as the 100 deet and therefore if you plan on walking into nice restaurants or just being with company in general you can get away from it, unlike the stronger stuff which makes you smell like a chemical plant. 2. It is far stronger than any home-brand names you get on the High Street and therefore i found that after a 3 week trip to a malaria infected area i hardly had any mosquito bites. 4. Although it is strong enough to keep all mozzies at bay with exception of the dreaded piri piri fly, it is not strong enough to really damage your clothes or make your skin feel...

Review of Lifesystems Expedition 50+ Insect Repellent (100ml)

Our Pesky Rats Must Wear Earplugs!!

Advantages: It's humane
Disadvantages: It simply doesn't work

...do hate it when they nibble away at our stuff and they do cause a lot of damage to other things dad has stored away in the garage, such as wires, rope and my wet suit (which was really expensive, and now I have to hang it from the rafters in the ceiling). It was nan to the rescue again though. She bought dad (second-hand, of course) a Big Cheese Mouse and Rat Repeller from our local Help the Aged second-hand shop. Nan got this for £3.00 but I have checked out the RRP is actually £7.99. They sell these in B&Q for £8.25 and Amazon sell them for £7.99 also. Nan bought this because mum always says she feels bad that the rats end up dead and she refuses to take them out of their traps and leaves them for dad to pick up when he gets back from work. Nan thought that this might be a more humane way to deal with the pesky little rodents as...

Review of The Big Cheese Mouse & Rat Repeller

Keeping the Insects Away?!

Advantages: Good aftersun moisturiser.
Disadvantages: Not great at keeping insects away.

...the cream is dispensed. - What does it contain and promise? - ~ cocoa butter to condition and gently soothe skin. ~ gentle cooling lotion. ~ provides long lasting moisturisation. ~ helps prevent peeling and prolong a natural tan. ~ contains gentle effective odourless insect repellent. ~ non-greasy and easily absorbed. ~ non-pore blocking. ~ dermatologically tested. ~ hypoallergenic. - My experience - * Appearance and Texture This is a white cream with a light, slightly runny consistency. It has a lovely fresh, cool feel to it when applied and just as it promises, it is quickly absorbed in to sun-drenched skin. It kept my skin moisturised without being greasy and sticky and therefore was great at prevent peeling. * Smell This has a very slight floral scent to it but can certainly be used and was used...

Review of Boots Soltan Aftersun Lotion With Insect Repellent

Deter the flying biters

Advantages: We didn't get bitten
Disadvantages: can't be used in tropical areas

...Boots Insect repellent spray With a Little Miss who seems to be loved by flying biters, I tend to take as many precautionary products as possible in the form of lotions potions and sprays when we go on our jollies. ~~WHO IS THIS FOR?~~ It is suggested that the spray is for adults and children from the age of 6 months. This is actually one of the reasons I bought the spray- if a baby of 6 months can have it applied, then it's a doddle for a 6 ½ year old. ~~WHAT DOES IT DO?~~ Protects those under the influence of the spray from mosquitos, midges and other flying insects, so if it does work, then this has got to be good news. ~~PRODUCT AND PACKAGING~~ The product comes in a 125ml plastic aerosol spray can with all information and directions for use on the back. There is a lift off plastic lid so no danger of it spraying...

Review of Boots Repel Insect Repellent Spray

Down in the jungle there are mosquitos

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: Can be a bit messy

...Jungle Formula insect repellent lotion When we go away, and if there is any chance of bites, we always go well armed with insect repellents because there are few things as bad as spending your holiday scratching! I tend to buy Jungle formula for no other reason than it's the one i just grab as I shop, but i have also tried other makes which have proved effective. We usually use the spray but on our last foray to more tropical climes i decided to give the lotion a go; the spray came as well in case this proved to be too tricky. PROMISES... This apparently lasts for up to 6 hours and will protect from mosquitos midgies and other biting insects. I like... PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... THE BOX IS THE TYPICAL JUNGLE Formula box, all green and jungle looking with instructions and information on the back of the box. Once inside i...

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Lotion

There's no flies on me!

Advantages: effective insect repellent, no bites, keeps mosquitoes away
Disadvantages: contains DEET , strong smell

...of this review and I am reviewing the Extra Strength Pump Spray which comes in a 75ml bottle. Jungle Formula is a tropical insect repellent and provides protection from Mosquitoes, Midges and other annoying biting insects. What attracted me to this product over the many others on offer was the fact that it has been approved by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases for travellers visiting tropical areas with a high risk of malaria and other insect transmitted diseases. So this sounded good to me as it was medically approved and I wasn?t disappointed. Jungle Formula is a 10 hour application which is very runny and slightly yellow in colour. It is a pump action insect repellent spray for adults and children over the age of 6 years old. Using the pump you apply carefully to exposed clean and dry skin except for eyes and lips. Roughly you...

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent

In spite of the Jungle Formula , Brittle still gets bitten!

Advantages: An easy to use, convenient product
Disadvantages: It didn't work for me!

...Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes What are they?= Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes are a handy way of keeping biting and stinging creepy crawlies away. The Jungle Formula range has been around for many years and produces products for use both in the UK and abroad. The wipes come in boxes of 15 individually sealed sachets. This product is ideal to pop in a pocket or bag for use whenever the need arises, to protect you whilst you are out and about. Jungle Formula wipes provide up to 6 hours protection and can be used on children from the age of three. Why I bought them Well, this is self explanatory really!
