Covering yourself in mosquito repellant won't reduce the mozzie problem in your backyard
(Copyright notice)

We are going to skip the first one because we are opposed to the use of dangerous chemicals, click to read about the second one. The thrid one is covered in this article. You can stop them breeding altogether by removing the male mosquito - you'll need our Bugeater to do that!

When I was a kid they still sprayed DDT around the house in a handheld pump-squirter!
Fortunately we are a lot more suspicious of the chemicals we spray nowadays, especially those we put directly on our children. Most mosquito repellants contain DEET which, whilst effective, is the subject of some doubt about its safety.

DEET is it safe? ( N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide also known as N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide)
Many of the personal mozzie repellants still contain DEET which is regarded by some as unsafe for children: This article (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1536495?dopt=Abstract) concluded "Avoidance of high-concentration DEET formulations in pediatric patients should be considered"
Another article concluded (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8453162)
"Adults, as well as children, are at risk for toxicity from insect repellents. The use of highly concentrated DEET-containing insect repellents should be avoided to reduce the risk of toxicity in both children and adults. The consequences of DEET toxicity are variable and unpredictable"

Pyrethroids aren't safe!
This article confirms that household bug sprays may be worser than the bugs! Read about Permethrin at the Maryland Pesticide Network (http://www.mdpestnet.org/Pyrethroid_studies.htm)

Our all-natural Roll On contains both proven natural oils that repel insects and oils that sooth and moisturise skin. Our roll-on contains

eucalyptus oil, well known as an insect repellent and biopesticide. Eucalyptus oil has been used as an effective way of killing dust mites according to the Asthma Foundation of Victoria
alo vera - soothes bites

Insects are lured to the bugeater by a 8 watt ultra-violet black light, with a special wavelength formulated to attract biting insects. As the insects approach, they are blown into the water below, by the fan.
