A great choice for recreational activities, the BugBand insect repelling band keeps mosquitoes, flies, gnats, no-see-ums and fleas away without the mess of sprays and lotions.

  • Using geraniol, a natural ingredient derived from geranium oil, the wristband emits vapors that form a protective shield around the immediate area
  • Wristband uses absolutely no DEET
  • Wristband is effective for up 120 hrs.; when not in use, store the band in the reusable plastic packaging to prolong its active life
  • Designed for use with all outdoor activities, including swimming
  • Patented breakaway strap will snap if the wristband becomes entangled
  • Band can also be fastened to ankles, belt loops, hat bands, pet collars and tents

Made in USA.

Comments about BugBand Insect Repelling Band - Green:

Travelling to Florida this past week, I had high hopes for this product after picking it up from REI (by mistake, as I was looking for a Bug Bam).

Sadly however, after following all instructions, it didn't help at all with mosquitoes. We were eaten alive and had mosquitoes even landing and biting next to the band!

The packaging says 120 hours (although I couldn't find any data to support this on the company website), it didn't even work for 120 seconds! How do they gauge this anyway?

I know there are great wristband repellent products out there. Unfortunately though, this is definitely not one of them.
