PIC Bugables Citronella Scented Coil Wristbands, Reusable and Resealable, One Size Fits All (Pack of 10), multicolor

I got this large pack to take on a group trip to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica. The resort does fog for mosquitoes every morning and every evening BUT I also wore one of these on my wrist every evening while walking around also. I liked the different colors so I could match my dress. They look like some of the swirly hair ties and not terrible with other bracelets. They DO smell like citronella so while I was at dinner I slipped it off and put it in my wristlet, then back on once we went back outside. It could have been the resort fogging or the bracelets but I was not bitten at all on our trip. I will put them to the true test in a few weeks for our annual Chincoteague island VA visit. Their state bird is the mosquito (wink wink) so I could see needing to wear one on each wrist and each ankle as I’m normally always bitten while there, I will update after.

I don’t think these worked!

Well, they really do work. I can now enjoy gardening and do it when it suits me. I can also sit on my back deck and read or relax in peace… getting the most out of daylight saving hours. They really are a game changer but I wish they had an indicator that told you when they were no longer active.

These are awesome! Two years ago, I was given one while on a trip to an island off the coast of Mexico. Hot, humid and sweat producing created the perfect environment to attract all those biting bugs! AND I am one of those people that seem to get bitten when others do not! It comes in a plastic resealable pouch which helps to maintain its freshness. The rubber coil bracelets easily fit any size wrist or ankle. I STILL use my original one, but bought this multi pack so that I can throw individual pouches in different to go bags and also to give a couple away to friends.

These wristbands are simple to use and comfortable to wear outdoors. The citronella scent helps initially, and the resealable packaging makes them easy to store and reuse. The only downside is that the scent tends to fade after some time, so effectiveness may decrease with extended use. Overall, still a convenient option for outdoor protection.
