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.

The post Enjoy your Summer with Mozzi Gear + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.

Summer is a time for camping, beach, picnics and trips to the park with the family but often mosquitoes put a damper on the fun times. Unfortunately for me and my 5 year old we seem to have good blood that’s ripe for sucking; if there is a mozzie around chances are it is having a feast on one of us. This is quite unfortunate for Kye as not only does it make him itchy he is allergic to their bites, resulting in hives and swelling around the affected area, hardness of the skin and it always gets infected.

I received an email a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to give Para’Kito a test run which coincided perfectly for last minute outings to the creek, Australia Day BBQ and last bush walk before school resumed. For something that is 100% natural and eco-friendly I can see why it has been so popular worldwide; it works to offer 24 hour protection from mosquitoes and insects while having no direct contact with skin making it safe for allergy sufferers, pregnant women, children, babies and adults. The Para’Kito range includes a neoprene wristband and a clip which are refillable with a polymer pellet. The pellets are infused with a blend of seven essential oils: lavender, geranium, citronella, pine tree, patchouli, clove and peppermint which are convenient and easily slipped into your Para’Kito™ wristband or clip. The oils effectively make the wearer seem invisible to mosquitoes even when in contact with water. Each pellet also offers 15 consecutive days of protection which is great when camping for a few days or if you are going to a festival.

I have found the clip to be very handy when I go walking as I just clip it to the pram and not only am protected and no longer get attacked by insects but neither does my baby or my boys walking next to me. The clip would also be great for travelling as it can easily attach to your belt, back packs or even hung inside your tent when camping. Para’Kito™ bands and clips are priced at RRP $24.95 and come with two refill pellets, which provide 24 hour protection for a total of 30 days. Refill packs with two pellets are also available and priced at RRP $15.95.
