Review: Mosquitno Band
Marina and I have tried everything when it comes to mosquito repellant while traveling. From sprays, candles, long sleeves and coils, we’ve tried it all. While some of these work to a certain degree there is nothing worse than getting ready to go out for the night, clean and ready to go and having to then spray sticky and smelly mosquito spray all over you skin and clean clothes. Alternatively, candles and coils smell pretty strong and don’t really work too well most times.
We were very excited to try out the Mosquitno Band, which claims to revolutionize the mosquito repellant game. Small, stylish bracelets and stickers are the newest way to fight away pesky mosquitos and they actually work quite well. The 100% natural, citronella infused stickers and bands make it as easy as possible to fight off insects while not even noticing you are wearing it.
So bring on the concerts, picnics, camping trips and evening BBQ’s – and enjoy an evening with a mosquito bite. The bands last for an amazing 150 hours and the stickers up to 72 hours.
There is no denying how quickly a mosquito bite can ruin your night, but what is even worse is dealing with something like malaria or dengue fever. On my birthday last year I got Dengue fever in Thailand and while I always tried to wear long sleeves and keep myself covered in bug spray, having a Mosquitno band wouldn’t have hurt and could have saved me a lot of unneeded agony.
So while we will always face mosquitos and their annoying bites, at least we are now one step closer to avoiding the annoyance of bug bites while enjoying the great outdoors. So pack up the car, make a picnic, set up your tent and enjoy a bug free adventure all by just throwing on a bracelet or slapping a sticker on your shirt – doesn’t get much easier than that!
