Mosi Band - Insect Repellent Bands with Citriodiol

Mosi Bands can be worn on the wrists and/or the ankles, and they can repel mosquitoes and other flying or biting insects for up to 100 hours. The active ingredient is Citriodiol - a natural repellent derived from Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. It is micro-encapsulated onto the material and then activated by stretching the Mosi Band as it is applied.

For maximum effectiveness wear two pairs of Mosi Bands - one pair for your wrists and the other for your ankles. However, it should be remembered that they only give localised protection - around the wrists and ankles - so they should be combined with trousers and long-sleeved shirts (or a standard insect repellent on any exposed areas).

The Mosi Bands can be worn at all times, even when swimming, and there is no reduction in performance when they dry out again. They're also ideal for use in the evenings, when you can often be bitten around your ankles.

One size fits all - easy to apply with an adjustable clasp - and suitable for children from the age of 3. Each pack contains two Mosi Bands - one for each wrist or ankle (two packs are required if you want to wear them on both your ankles and your wrists).

Usage guidelines:

- typically, Mosi Bands can provide localised protection for up to 100 hours (4 days) after they have been activated.
