Mosquito repellent, electronic, clip on unit

Featured Replies

Anyone know where I can buy the battery operated mosquito repellent unit in Thailand.

They are sold in the US and other countries, but I can't find them here, they really work.

You just clip the unit on and it keeps bugs away - but mine needs refilling.

A US one is OFF! Clip-On, but there are other companies selling them.


Thanks


Man up ! Just use some nice flower smelling lotion !!! :D

totster :)

Off has just started to advertise this one here, but don't know where to buy. As a wild guess I would try HomePro they are into new gadget stuff.

Thanks - I'll see if I can find it there.

They really are excellent.

Try using Listerine!

Dab it on your arms and legs.

The OFF! Clip-On is sold in Tesco. Two hundred something baht and a similar price for the refills.

Try using Listerine!

Dab it on your arms and legs.

Listerine works?

Or are you affing a larf?

Please let me know which Tesco you saw this at... I looked at a few but didn't find.

Thanks

If I dab Listerine on my scrotum, stop me catching crabs?

Just curious.

Ignoring the last comment.

I did find it at Tesco at the end of Soi 24 Sukhumvit, and also at Big C there.

The unit has a fan in it that's quite noisy - not sure if this is normal, may return it.

Has anyone else used this, is it usually noisy?

Many thanks

There are many comments on Amazon.com about this product and noise is mentioned in some of them.

Thanks

The other one I have doesn't have a fan, much more pleasant to use - but if it works and prevents me from using that horrid repellent - then I'm happy.

They say the noise emitted by the clip-on is the sound of the male mosquito. It's only the female that bites. When the female hears the sound of the male, she suddenly develops a headache & flys off - lol

I have never thought repellant liquid effective, probably because I had already been bitten by the time I applied it, but on Tuesday I tarried past 1800 at the park after my jogging, and was surrounded by them; repellant was handed me, I applied it, and the effect was dramatic, all the little black spots circling for landing left the pattern never to reappear. I am converted and shall always have some handy whenever I expect to be out after dark.

I've tried everything, from drinking lots of lemon grass tea to soaking my feet and legs in vinegar. Still remain a magnet to the little buggers. Was thinking of covering meself in low-voltage wire mesh.

A DEET spray does work but doesn't last. Always carry a spare can in the car, for an occasional top-up.

Would be very interested in any feed-back on the effectiveness of these clip- on units

I'm using the clip on unit from Big C. Its pretty good, not 100% perfect, but it tends to keep them away.

Not expensive, worth the use, refills are not so expensive.

Try using Listerine!
