anyway i thought that many people cant be wrong so got my mum to get some. tried it on a night where i knew there would be a lot of mozzies.. just the right conditions. anyway i went out after applying skin so soft.. after about 3 minutes i knew i'd been bitten.. it turns out in 10 minutes i got 10 mozzie bites.
i was pretty disappointed !
oh well, back to RID...

It does have a positive anectdotal reputation...I never had much luck myself but that could easily be a function of different species of Mosquito...some being repelled some not...
