Do not travel without them

I would not travel a broad without pestects - they are the only product that work! I even wear them in the summer in the uk to stop midges bites! They are simply the best. Even my husband and son wear them abroad - always on our ankles … with all the colours they have they will always match your outfit - keep up the great work _Pestects all the way - simply THE BEST

Used this product for the first time on…

Used this product for the first time on my recent holiday. I wore a band on my wrist and ankle and also used the spray. I had 6 bites the first night, I then used an Asda spray which had 50% deet. No other bites throughout my holiday due to the deet spray. Would not buy this product again.

They do not work!

On holiday in Thailand, no jungle, normal beach holiday. Bitten several times wearing one bracelet on ankle, and one on wrist. Removed for showering as advised, they simply do not work, save your money. Disappointed 🙄

I bought a box last summer

I bought a box last summer. I mow a lot of yards. I wear one every day I mow. They work great. I gave them to my young relatives at the lake. Their Mom’s order a box each. Love them.

I have used these for traveling to Jamaica and Thailand

I have used these for traveling to Jamaica and Thailand and haven’t had a single bite. They don’t smell like others I have tried which is another plus. I like the pattern ones because they just look like friendship bracelets. Wouldn’t use anything else Pestects are the best insert repellent can’t recommend them enough

We have been using Pestects for a few years now if we wear them we haven’t been bitten if you forget you can get bites, great and simple to use we always have a couple of packets in our Motorhome and a bottle of the spray to refresh the bracelets

These bands work wonders

These bands work wonders. I absolutely love them.
I am eaten alive every year from April to October, in the UK and abroad, and the days when I DON'T wear one are the days I get munched!!

These bands really do work

These bands really do work, I was in safari in Africa and had one on each wrist and ankle to make sure. I was there for 10 days and did not change them and was not bit once. I will definitely buy these again!!! Thank you x

Wow these actually work!

These work!! Was incredibly skeptical if these would work, seen them advertised and was just not sure about them. Well my bad for not buying them sooner! Purchased them for our last holiday to Mexico, I’m a mosquito magnet and they will find me, it’s like I get off the aeroplane and all local mosquito in the area get a email of my arrival. I’m so impressed by these, on our trip to Mexico I literally got bitten on my ankle at check-in, which was the only time I wasn’t wearing them!! This was my only bite! Note to self for this year’s trip I’ll be wearing them on the plane. We are booked to return to Mexico and these are now a priority to re order for this trip and all other future trips. As others I did wear two and occasionally they did break, but the ones that broke I actually tied them to the handle of my beach bag so I still got use out of them.
I honestly can’t recommend enough they are now a holiday staple for me. I’ve literally recommended them to all my friends and family.

This is the second purchase

This is the second purchase the first was for a holiday in Mexico. On previous visits we got bitten quite extensively despite repellant spray (different brand). But no bites with these bands therefore repurchased for next holiday.

The thought of spending 7 weeks in New Zealand was amazing, seeing how many bites my family ( who live out there ) not so much . I saw these bands advertised on face book and thought “ why not “ .well I’m back with only one very small bite on my ankle ! They also look like a fashion bracelet which is nice. Would I recommend them……absolutely.
