No Mosquitoes Thanks to Off

Write a Letter to this Company
I recently purchased your new Off Clip-on Mosquito Repellent. I must admit I was MORE than a bit skeptical as to the effectiveness.
I consider myself a mosquito magnet. I live in a very wooded area and cannot enjoy my yard much even during the daytime. I get welts from the mosquito bites.
In order to be able to enjoy my gardens and pool, I have always had to liberally apply a spray on repellent. Consequently, as soon as I go inside, I must take a shower before sitting on furniture or playing with my pets.
I cannot put into words how amazed I am with this product. I have been able to go inside in shorts and a tank top, at dusk, near the edge of the woods without a SINGLE mosquito bite.
This has been for days not so this is not a fluke. I've tried it repeatedly just to be sure. I then went outside without it and within minutes I had been bitten.
I now carry one in my car and in my home (in case I go visiting and sit outside or take my dogs to the park for a walk).
Thank you SO much for this product. It is amazing and I really am thrilled that this product has come along. It is wonderful not having to douse myself in bug repellent to be able to enjoy the outdoors.
I give you an A++++++++++++, and then some, for this product.
THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Laura

I am glad this product worked for you but for me it was if it wasn't there at all. I even held it so it blew right on a biting mosquito and it finally flew off after a few seconds while several more landed on me on other areas! I am taking it back !

I work outside at a register too, and the mosquitoes have gotten bad the last couple of weeks. The Off fan works GREAT. I saw them flying around, but I didn't get bit. I even got one to give to my dad when he goes up north to camp for father's day, since I can give it my personal approval.
No strong odor, double great for folks who are allergic or sensitive to sprays, wipes and lotions. Great product!

Thanks for the "review" of the product. Next time one of my clerks at my store starts complaining about mosquitos I'll take one off the shelf (and "expense it") and put it at the front counter.

I love it, too! Their OFF lanterns are also VERY effective. Great products!

These also work great on the outside perimeter when sitting around a nice campfire at night when camping. We found them to be very effective when we went to a local campground to visit some friends just last weekend. (I hate how the bugs bite ya right on the butt when sitting around a campfire...LOL)
They even sell these at the "general store" at the campgrounds.
And, I did see them at Cosco last time I was there, only there were 3 boxes, two of which were already empty. So these must be the greatest invention since regular repellants.

I will definitely have to give those a try. Mosquitoes seem to love me for some reason or other.

I recently went camping with my parents and husband. The mosquitoes were horrible as usual, they are New Hampshires state bird after all. My Mum had purchased one of these products and had it clipped to her sweatshirt as we were all sitting around the campfire. I found the buzzing and whirring of this contraption to be exceedingly annoying. I could only stand it for maybe five minutes and I'm usually a pretty patient person. My Pops who can not wear anything on his skin do to a rare form of skin cancer was excited to try it but now he refuses because of the noise. Does anyone else find it annoying or did my Mum somehow stumble unpon a defective one?

Great review! Like some of the other posters, I am a mosquito magnet as well. I will definitely be looking for this product.

When I first saw this product on television, my first reaction was to wonder why no one thought of it sooner. Being a mosquito magnet myself and despising the smell and feel of bug repellent so much that I refuse to use it, this new item seemed like a perfect solution. I'm so happy to hear that it actually works!

Interesting! I get HUGE welts from mosquito bites (so very attractive, no?). I will definitely check this out this week when I go to Target! I'm curious as to how it works.
One excellent mosquito/bug repellent that works naturally: Vanilla! You can buy the biggest container of the cheapest stuff, soak a cotton ball with it, and then rub it all over your skin. You end up smelling nice and no DEET! However, the bugs often will still LAND on you, they just won't bite you, because vanilla tastes like crap. Not literal crap, as bugs don't seem to mind the taste of poop, but it is so bitter tasting.
