which mosquito repellent do you use?

[liz2010]

Hi, I use Moz Away mosquito and insect repellent for my kids. But the smell is strong. I'm wondering if other natural brands are the same? Can you share?

I use Mozzie Patches instead of the repellent on the skin. I find the patch more convenient to use.

I use Johnson&Johnson. the green bottle..not so strong smell.

I used the patch, but wasn't very efficient.

I don't put on the skin, just spray on the clothes.

I see.. Put on the clothes, that's an idea. I saw this brand before.. It's like a moisturizer cum repellent. I didn't use it but thought it was interesting.

It's called Buds Mozzie Clear Lotion

Moz Away has 2 versions. There's the regular one that has the citronella smell and the other one (taller n slimmer bottle that is green) has a more pleasant fragrance. Both are labelled as safe for kids and babies though. I usually use patches as a supplementary, i still spray repellent on my kids, esp the younger one cos he always has allergic reactions to mozzie bites tat requires the use of steriods to counteract the reactions.

Hi anyone can recommend what mosquito repellent good for toddlers? I am currently using Hansaplast but the smell is quite strong and I feel the chemical used may be too hard on skin. It gives protection up to 6hrs and non greasy.Thanks

Actually if u use essential oil Lemon grass can b used 2 ward off mosquitoes

I wld put a few drops onto a ceramic holder n hang it on d stroller

 

[keefu]

I use Johnson & Johnson for oil. For patches I use Watson's house brand.

Hi there where can I find the ceramic holder & good quality essential oils?

Those synthetic found in body shop & push carts are not good for inhalation esp the young.
