Australian Summers are full of sun, barbecues and the great outdoors. Unfortunately mosquitoes also like to join the festivities and many of us (including me) are magnets for them. If there is one buzzing around it is more often than not having itself a delicious feast on my legs. Mozzi Gear have made our afternoon outdoor activities much more enjoyable.
We took a stash of Mozzi Gear products away camping with us to put to the test. The last time we went we forgot the aeroguard which ultiately led to me writing the Essential Camping Checklist so no one is ever left unprepared, including us. This time around, we each wore a Mosquito Band. What is a mosquito band? It is one of the most popular Mozzi Gear products. It is a non-toxic silicone band that is a slow-release insect repellent containing citronella oil. I love this option of mozzie deterrent because it is so easy to use, simply pop it onto your wrist and your ready to go. It’s perfect for camping, fishing, bush walking and any other outdoor activities mosquito repellent may be necessary. You can wear it swimming because it is waterproof, effective for up to 48 hours and comes in 2 sizes – adults and kids. Each box contains 2 bands and comes in a range of 4 colours.
We also hung a Mozzi Gear Portable Ultrasonic Mosquito Repeller from our tent awning for extra protection. Claiming to offer up to a 3m coverage we thought we could give it a go and whether it was the ultrasonic repeller, the mosquito bands or a mix of both; we were not bitten once! The Ultrasonic Repeller is very simple to use, it’s compact and portable. It is non-toxic which is very important especially when children are around and has 3 time settings so you can set it to turn off after 4 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours. While we chose to hang it from the tent awning you can clip it onto clothing or anywhere you want as it, as it has a clip on the back for convenience.
We have also been introduced to Mosquito Click by Mozzi Gear. It is intriguing because it works on piezoelectricity which means it doesn’t require batteries to work. This is not only for mosquito bites as it also works on ant bites, sand-flies, midges and even minor jelly fish stings. With 5 to 10 clicks to treat itching and 10 to 15 clicks to prevent swelling this handy sized clicker is great to keep on hand. Initially it shocks you as it sends a small electric shock however it is the sound of the click that makes you jump and not the current itself. It is safe to use on children over 6 months old and is chemical free. From just one of these clickers you will get approximately 5000 bite treatments.

Disclosure: I received the above products for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.
We are big bbq eaters always socialising and as we live near the estates lake we are always eaten alive.
These products would be great to have to help combat the problem.
Hubby is a magnet for Mozzies and I would love to win this for our family.
BBQs, camping and a few sports but the pests find their way indoors just as much
Mosquitoes midges sand flies love my i get attacked so bad the doctor has never seen anyone as allergic to their bites as me would love to win and see if they help me thanks
I’m a mossy magnet, just need to walk outside from dusk onwards and I’m dinner. Biggest problem is when out star gazing.
would be great we have so many mozzies and would also be perfect camping
I’m sure I’m Number 1 on the Mozzie Hitlist, this would be awesome so when out at Dusk I won’t come inside looking like a leopard (covered in spots).
Living in cape York is mozzie land trying to have a bbq or just gardening they just swarm to you which makes life very difficult when you love the outdoors
Our family love outdoors buy mosses bite us so we have to go indoors ,buggy.
BBQ’s at home with family and friends, they always go late into the night and then I am the one getting eaten!
CONGRATS!! You have won.
We have a serious mosquito problem in our area and just walking out the back door results in us being attacked by hundreds of mosquitoes, so doing any form of entertaining outside impossible.
we love camping near creeks, lakes, and having bqqs, parties at night we get eaten alive by mossies we desperately need this
Those little blood suckers swarm to me. I get eaten alive, just in the back yard. Camping I need so much aeroguard , I hate it
this would be great for afternoon and evening bbqs this year and
would stop all those nasty allergies
We love having barbies and playing cricket in our backyard with our kids and friends. The mozzies drive us mad!!
We love going to the lake to watch the ducks
We love the outdoors however the mosquitoes in our area are like blackhawks, they’d pick you ip and xart you off, not only summer but all year round. Kids used to have these vands for school. Woukd love to win thismproduct
Oops sorry about errors dont have glasses on
CONGRATS!! You have won.
We love to go camping by the river where the Mosquitos are always bad sadly many of our camping trips are cut short due to two out of three boys having a mozzie allergy
Bushwalking, swimming in the creek, sitting out in the evening cool air in summer with a drink.
By the Loddon River is my farm,
Outside with the horses all day.
I am often bitten on the arm,
As I ride or with my horses play.
Great big welts that are so itchy,
That drive me mad for days.
Mossies even make the horses twitchy,
Especially the grey and bays.
The late afternoons when its nice to be outside enjoying the fresh air, having a barbecue , but those pesky mosquitoes make it impossible.
Wow these would be awesome to try as i have never seen them before, thanks so much for the chance 🙂 sharing the love on facebook
Would love these for when we go fishing because usually the only thing biting are the Mozzies!!
A warm Qld Summer Night, Romance is at its peak while walking at night on the sandy Beach. Empty but for us, dark except for the moonlight on the rippling water….A passionate embrace lead to more (use your imagination) but the white glow of skin lead a swarm of mozzies. We run for our lives, eaten alive and spent our passionate night , apart , soaked in Calamine Lotion, scratching frantically. If only we had A “Mozzie Gear Pack” things could have been so different 😛
We play tennis and are always getting eaten alive would love to use these
We do a lot of camping and outdoor activities on the weekends as a family. This would be a great alternative to awful sprays that do nothing!
Kids have mozzies allergies as I do. Not a lot works for us so be great to,try
Myself and my Grandkids were attacked by Mosquitos whilst being at a BBq it was very itchy and we came up with big sores all over, took over a week to go down, very painful for the Grandkids so i would love to try this product for myself and the Kids, Thanks for the chance :0
With a English family , who gets big welts with every bite, that they scratch until they develop sores. This would be fantastic.
One of my kids is allergic to mozzie bites, and I am a mozzie magnet myself, so these would be invaluable!
We love having BBQs outside so this would help us do that more often without the worry of my daughter being bitten!
So great for the whole family in the summer when we are spending more time out side
Having a drink and barbeque outdoors at dusk, my favourite time of the day… except for you know what – those little pests…and no I’m not talking about the kids …
Just living in Australia is a requirement for needing Mozzi Gear Protection
day or night, in or out, on land or water the pesky mozzies will get you.
With mosquitos like helicopters we need to call in the big guns. Doesn’t matter the season they are out in full flight zooming in on the heat we put out. It’s time to stock up on MOZZIGEAR . Can’t wait for a buzz and bite free backyard BBQ. BZZzzzzzzz no more.
Living in the country; having your own dam we just seem to breed mozzies. We are sitting outside for our coffee break at lunch time every day. We are also walking our dogs twice a day.
Im a fisherman and the mozzies are big enough to carry you away I really need this
CONGRATS!! You have won.
Just going outside! The mozzies are terrible here and just going for a walk without mozzies all over us would be nice!
Looks like a great idea bugs love me
when we go out at night to our spa we need something to stop us being eaten by the mozzies
Living in Darwin, we do everything outside all year round, and go through these constantly, they work great and the kids love them better than spraying, so you don’t have the taste of rid over everything you touch!
I work from home a lot and often with the balcony door open in summer the mosquitoes target me, I have a rare blood type and I’m convinced this is the reason! I sit with a fly squat next to me but I always miss and they quickly scurry through the air in a frantic, jittery dance to safety.
However last week one did not fly off. He boldly charged straight at me in a Kamikaze dive-bomb. I swatted and slapped at it but this just made it more determined. It came in hard and fast, zooming up the middle, dodging left and right, diving to my legs, then up to my chest, then my head. I dropped the squat and started to wave my hands around me like a lunatic swatting and slapping at thin air. It just wouldn’t give up!
Then it just disappeared but not until it had got a piece of that rare, vintage blood I was telling you about! I’d gone from a lunatic squatting air to a bigger lunatic scratching and rubbing at the enormous bite on my foot.
However I did learn something from that mosquito I have not learnt from any other. It taught me something important about persistence, goals and success. In a weird way all living things have this need and desire to succeed. Speaking of which I better get back to work. Hopefully I have succeeded in explaining why I need this prize because I really don’t want to learn any more life lessons from mosquitoes!
we love going camping together as a family so having insect repellant of some sort is definitely a must!
Fishing near estuaries, no more needs to be said, lol
Since we are lucky enough to live in a country that offers such diversity in outdoor locations we try to embrace as many outdoor activities as possible to take them all in with out top being bush hiking, fishing and camping this prize would be invaluable to us with any one of those activities 🙂
Besides the usual garden fun like mowing, hanging out washing and weeding, my kids love their outdoor activities like trampolining, riding, playing on the swings and gardening. We have built a sustainable backyard environment but that invites those “naughty mozzies” as the kids call them, so this prize would be great!
Awesome prize, would love to test these out at Cape Conran, as we go every year with 7 kids and 7 adults for a fun filled, beach packed week and the mozzies are always out to get us!
Outdoors with my new found love for gardening, always end up with mozzie bites
We love camping. With a little baby we would use Mozzi Gear inside the tent and out. We would also use it at home. Sadly my little one is more tasty than my hubby. But i am sure daddy would really love to be mozzi free as well as bubs
Living in the NT is very sweaty business, the best time to take the kids out and about is early morning or late afternoon and mossies are always at large! My entire family would benifit from this giveaway. The bands would also be a great fashion accessory for work, school and daycare!!
My family and I spend a lot of time out and about walking our German Shepherd dog and in the hotter months we dont take her until after dark and are constantly having to treat mosquito bites
Being attacked while lounging by the pool, or even at the beach while trying to keep cool, no place is safe from these flying bugs, it affects me, the kids but my hubby just shrugs…
There are no outdoor activities that I can do around mosquito hour or after dark. Heck I was laser forcing inside of an enclosed building with 24 other people and I am the ONLY ONE THAT GOT BIT. TWICE!!!
We like to BBQ in the evening while the kids play on the trampoline, then have an outdoor dinner on the veranda.
Hey, sure, I walk the dog by the creek, take the kids for bushwalks and visit friends on farms. But the highest mozzie zone ever is inside my house. Really. Every night, even in summer when it’s stinking hot, I shut up the windows before dusk. My house is obviously a sieve – glass doesn’t stop mozzies, let alone screens. Every night, the squadron of mozzies attacks and we’re all sent into battle, shooing, squirting, cursing. OK, the cursing is mine, as is the burden of being the tastiest (apparently!)
My garden is my haven but the mozzies nearly carry me away and I itch and scratch for days. Save me Mozzi!
love to get away from the chemical sprays,
Their not really good for you and me,
I’d love to your ozzie gear,
And make those mozzies disappear
Everything outdoors, I have a 3yo. Mozzies love to attack when we leave the door.
When camping and having an outdoor bbq, there’s nothing worse than having to put up with mosquito’s or any other insects while trying to eat and enjoy a night out under the stars.
sitting outside after the suns gone down to feel the cool breeze the last thing you need is to be attacked my mozzies those little bliters make you itch and sometimes bleed.
Unfortunately for a mozzie-lure like me, I LOVE tropical beach holidays!
We live a cross the road from a swap,just after dark they come out!I hardley get bitten but they love my daughters soft skin.
I am a magnet for mozzies. I will love to hangout outside without having to spray myself crazy with the anti-mozzie spray. The sprays aren’t great on freshly shaved legs and I will like to smell of my perfume not a mozzie spray. Thank you. Great invention you have there BTW.
Something as simple as using the back-deck to watch the sunrise at breakfast time.. a favourite way for the family to gather together to begin the day… that is if there are not hoards of mossies there ‘bomb-diving” for their breakfast. MOZZI GEAR – the gear for our sanity!
I’m a personal trainer and by the end of my outdoor sessions my legs are covered in mozzie bites, so I’d love to give these a go.
My Bubble seems to have inherited fantastic blood from my husband. It doesn’t take an ‘outside activity’ for the mozzies to swarm to him. I was always covered in bites until I met him, and now it seems my daughter has the same sweet tasting blood. It’s great for me, but sucks for them!
I take schoolies to a malaria area in Rwanda each year – these products would be life savers!
My three year old son is so allergic to pretty much anything that bites and I am yet to find a product that actually works!
Playing footy on the lawn, fishing and enjoying barbecues with the family all seem to attract these blood-sucking pests!
The hubby and I like to take our 4 on bike ride to play at the park when school/work finishes but we get eaten alive no matter what we use.
Our whole family enjoys canoeing and white-water rafting. Now, obviously, when we’re actually rafting we’re moving too fast to get bitten by insects. But before and after, when we’re setting up and packing up, the mosquitoes and water insects tend to feast on us! When there’s that many, spray repellents sometimes just don’t work.
Outdoors is where we spend lots of time and we get bitten by mozzies when we are – gardening, playing with animals including ducks and chickens, jumping on the trampoline, playing on the swing set, sitting on the back deck having breakfast/lunch/dinner, hanging out washing, playing in muddy puddles, making mud pies, playing soccer, playing basketball, flying a kite, scootering, bike riding, bush walking, beach walking, fishing, playing in parks, visiting friends/family ….. basically anytime we are outside (which is lots) me and my son especially are mozzie magnets – they love us, they love to bite us, they love to annoy us, they love to make our skin look sore and ugly and weird and come up in big welts – mozzies just cause us pain and suffering !!!!
My son would love me if we got these for him mozzies love him
Definatley camping those nasty mozzies love our sweet blood. Always having a chew at our arms and legs
We do little athletics, and I have 2 little ones that the mozzies love!
Hiking or camping
Your skin will need protecting
But do not fear
Just slap on your Mozzi Gear!
We’re off to bali in May ! I caught dengy last year so am making sure me and my toddler are prepared this year ! Ilol be using that much mozzy repellent everyone in the whole hotel will be safe lol
Outdoor bbq’s in our great Aussie backyard which gets spoiled by those bloody mozzies.
My 5 year old does Athletics every Friday night, the mozzies are out full force without fail.
This would be ideal for when gardening in afternoon , the mozzies are always after me then
I’m so sick on the mozzies and their nasty bite
If only there was a way to even the fight.
For camping and sitting outside is not as much fun
When every time the mozzies have won!
My son comes out in big welts when he gets bitten, these would be great for him.
Swimming and Barbecues are going to be a bit harsh after all the rain from cyclone Marcia!
When I’m out walking each night the Mozzies see me as their own personal blood bank, I’d like to give those little vampires the flick with the help of Mozziegear 🙂
When I’m out walking each night the Mozzies see me as their own personal blood bank, I’d like to give those little vampires the flick with the help of Mozzigear 🙂
Mizzi Gear keeps the mozzis away so you can enjoy the outdoors hassle free.
I do Boot Camp by the river which is lovely and cool at dusk, but the mozzies are well and truly out for blood then- mine particularly it seems. I’ve used Aeroguard in the past, but the strong smell sets off my asthma, so I can’t win.This would let me get fit while still being able to breathe. Win/win!
My family of 5,
love feeling alive,
fishing and playing,
dancing when it’s raining,
… but the itchy scratch game!!
little bugs to blame,
none of that here,
not with mozzigear near!!
Gardening is when the mozzies find me and start feeding voraciously!
My little Miss loves being outside and this would be great
As a family in a small community there are many committees and functions that we do and attend that have bbqs and meetings outside that require some sort of repellent and something that is kid friendly for my boys who get huge bites and require antihistamine to make the bites go down would be just the treat that we need to get us through the rest of the warmer months.
OpenAir cinema always brings my family fun. But the mozzies often distract us from the wonderful stories. Itchy and scratchy feeling is really annoying.
I love to go Bush walking.
