Mossies not frightened by buzzers
Do you buy mosquito repellents to make sure you don’t get any nasty bites while you’re away on holiday?
If so, you could be wasting your money, according to a hard hitting report from Consumers’ Association publication Holiday Which?
The plug-in vapour devices were the best bet, the survey said. It tested Boots Repel, Jungle Formula, Lifestyles and Mosqui-Go Duo. All of them killed every mosquito within five minutes.
The last word must go to Lorna Cowen, editor of Holiday Which?, who said: “People are at their most vulnerable when they’re asleep, so plug-ins are a worthwhile investment, although in malaria areas people should use impregnated bed nets. The buzzers we tried were a shocking waste of money.”
