Mosi-Guard Spray Extra 75 ml

I've been using MosiGuard Extra for many years. It's more effective than DEET in my opinion. It works on sand flies, mossies, midges, etc, etc. I've used it in the Amazon, various countries in Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean and Asia. Always works. I understand it needs re-application as it loses its efficacy faster than the strong chemical products, but I generally apply it at dusk when most mossies come out and for the few hours of darkness, one application has been enough for my needs. Where there are daytime biting insects, you need to re-apply. A combination of this spray and wearing white and light colours has meant I've stayed bite free over many trips now.Unlike DEET, it is not toxic to humans. It also doesn't melt nail polish and plastics like flip flops. Presumably it is kinder to the environment both in terms of production and when it enters waterways e.g. when you swim or launder your clothes.The only bug spray I use. Highly recommend.

So far so good with this product I've not been bitten ever since I've used this .

I usually get badly bitten if there are any mosquitoes at all. In May I visited Antigua (which is known for having lots of mosquitoes) where it rained a lot during the week I was there - ideal mosquito weather. However, using this spray I was bite-free at the end of the week, unlike other people who got plenty. I also liked having a product with no Deet - no worries about toxicity or the annoyance of melted plastic items.It has quite a strong smell but you stop noticing it quite quickly. It seems to protect against sand flies too as there were plenty about but no bites on me. I put it on twice a day - first thing in the morning and just before dinner. I'm doing this review because I'm back on this page buying some more! (A bottle lasts one person about 2 weeks of daily use)

Took it to Mexico and it repelled approximately 31,234 mosquitoes. I didn't get a single bite until the final day when I was forced to was it off so that I could swim in a Cenote. The only criticism is that bottles this size don't last very long at all even with conservative use. 1 bottle lasted about 4-5 days between 2 of us.

I've used the green version of Mosi-guard for years and have always been very impressed on how effective the product is, probably the best on the market. Not different for the red "extra" version, however all of the 3 sprays of the "extra" version I bought the spray leaked, resulting in sticky bottles and my travel bag (and contents) smelling strongly like insect repellent. I kept the bottles in a plastic bag, and after a while the bag was filled with liquid. I threw away 1 bottle in the end as it became too messy to use. I would certainly recommend the product itself - no mosquito that would come near! - , but they really need to sort out the packaging.

Mosquitos love me I usually get bitten numerous times a night.I've tried the high strength tropical deet spray - which worked 90% of the time but took the colour out of my clothes and ruined a pair of sandals!I wanted something more natural and this fitted the bill.I'm so glad I gave it a go - on holiday staying right next to the beach I only got bitten once (which was my fault!)Apply liberally and remember to top up every 4 hours or so (that's what I found worked for me)It did tingle a bit on my skin - but it's an acceptable side effect - and I can spray it on my clothes!

Works well and keeps the biters off however it doesn't last very long which makes it a bit pricey as several were needed over the summer mosi season

Living in Snowdonia our garden from June on becomes a gnat and midge infested area, making sitting out in the garden a no no. Even gardening, or feeding the chickens can be a case of dash out and back in before the biting hoards descend......that is without Mosi-Guard Extra. This natural bug repellant comes in a pump spray plastic botttle, so can safely be taken into the garden or on a hike, without worry of breakage. It is easy to spray on directly, or I find works well to spray a small amount on to folded kitchen towel and wipe on arms, around ears etc. and a little goes a long way.An excellent product. Recommended.
