Pestects Avis 

They worked for the first few days, then seemed to lose their effectiveness and I got bitten at night a few times. I changed them because I’d been swimming but I still got bitten.

They look nice and smell nice. But the wild claims about their effectiveness are misplaced. My whole family used them over the summer and my 11 year old has never been bitten more. Also - they were expensive!

Bought them for first time last year and they worked a treat in Majorca. We escaped with no bites at all.
Got them again this year but the mosquitoes in Tuscany must be made of tough stuff cos we got quite a few bites this time despite having a bracelet on every limb.

Asked to write a review but ordered weeks and weeks ago and they are yet to arrive unfortunately. I was hoping they’d be good. I sought alternatives in the meantime.

The bracelets arrived in good time thank you. They are comfortable but could be slightly longer for my ankles (1") would be sufficient. Mosquitos are usually very tiresome for me. A recent week in Spain I wore the bracelets on ankles and wrists and patches on many areas of my clothes - giving them a good chance to be effective. I do believe they helped but I was well bitten!! I like the smell of Citronella, we also had Citronella candles and an UV insect deterrent - wasps didn't seem to like them!! Will definitely give bracelets another try when I receive my order of Citronella spray to refresh current items. Thank you

Since we have worn these in salou my partner has been bitten 4 times and I have been once. Only been here 5 days and both had one braclet on since arriving

Excellent communication when I was worried the parcel wouldn't arrive before my holiday it was Royal Mail being slow.
This is the 1st time I have been on holiday and haven't had 30+ bites!and 2 weeks of bruising from the bites.
I was a bit sceptical about FB reviews but didn't need to worry at all!
It is a pleasure to be on holiday in Mexico and only have 2 bites that was because the bracelets got to day 9!
I wear one on my ankle and one on my wrist.
The lovely gold one goes prefect with a tan!
I will be buying the top up spray when I'm home and a o'dear pen too!
I love the idea of natural ingredients and the fact you just need to top them up
I'm pleased the 1st thing I unpacked and wore were these bracelets as even when I arrive on holiday I get bitten!
Cannot recommend these enough Thank you

I’ve just tried the wristbands for the first time and I’m disappointed. They’re supposed to last for up to 300 hrs, but just a few hours after taking them out of the bag, there is little trace of any scent. My wife was bitten on her wrist twice, immediately next to the bracelet, so they obviously don’t work.

These are amazing good customer service and product does what it's suppose to

I ordered on the 03/09/2026 and I still haven’t received my order!!!no reply to my email either & we travel in 2 days…not happy at all…

What a fab product! I am totally convinced they work. I first used them last year on a trip to Vietnam. 1 on my ankle and 1 on the opposite arm and I didn’t get bitten at all. My husband, who was a sceptic, didn’t wear one to begin with, got bitten and then he too wore 2 bracelets for the rest of the trip and was not bitten again. Others in the group were not bitten again after I gave them a bracelet. I had some left and used them again in Italy in June. I have bought another pack for my next trip. Would definitely recommend 😊

Don’t waste your money they don’t work the smell diminishes within hours and they’re most definitely not suitable to be near any type of water. For the price of these i genuinely thought they would be good. Oh and as far as their money guarantee off, they didn’t uphold it! I could have sent my spare packet back but at my own cost.

Do not buy these product's. Apart from taking over 6 weeks to arrive, my husband and I have worm as directed and are 3 days into our holiday with almost 30 bites between us. I got 10 on the first day. The after bite pen is totally useless. Back to the hydrocortisone and antihistamines. Oh and antibiotics the bites are so bad!

Haven’t had chance to use them yet, dubious due to reviews but we have realistic expectations. We’re only going to Ibiza. Was especially interested that we can wear them in our hair, absolutely great idea! Initially the contact from the company was nice, the personal touch of a new small business but they really need to tome the contact down, every few days I get yet another email, it’s making me want to send them back and not even use them, I receive hundreds of emails in a day I do not need to be constantly spammed from a company that I bought from once. Very off putting and will be unsubscribing after this review, prompted, by the way, by yet another marketing email from them, well it’s backfired because if I had been allowed to actually go on my holiday and get a chance to use them, I might have been able to write a glowing review but the constant contact has marred my experience somewhat, it really needs adjusting, let the customer come to you and they may come back, chase them and they will run…. Into the field of another rival company no doubt. Sorry.

3rd time wearing abroad wore 1 on my wrist all week not 1 bite definitely work for me so I've subscribed for a yearly subscription so I don't forget to order very grateful for pestects.

I can’t recommend these beautiful bracelets enough, they look gorgeous, love the varied colours but most importantly they work !! I usually always get bit when away, I don’t have one bite ! I bought one pack, I used 4 over a week, one on my wrist and one on my ankle. I actually don’t think I needed to change the first 2 but as I’m new to using Pestects, I replaced them. Really easy to put on and take off. My now go-to for bug repellent for holidays but I think I’ll use them at home during summer too. Super impressed, thank you very much for saving my skin, much love.

Bought these before we went to Greece. Once checked into our accommodation my husband and I put 2 on, one on a wrist each and one on an ankle each. The back of the packet said they were waterproof. Imagine my horror when after a swim the red one leaked colours onto the sunbed and towels , as did his blue one . Also he got bitten above his ankle bracelet before they had even got wet. As requested on their instagram page he commented what the issue was but he has had no contact and they have removed his comment. A waste of £17

I’m no longer flavour of the month for the biting/stinging critters in the garden. The Pestects repellent bands/spray work really well. Thanks.

Hi ,I am in Cephalonia and I have one on my wrist and one on my ankle .I have been bite awful .I have a bite next to the one on my wrist .I was so pleased to have bought them with the wonderful reviews so as you can imagine I am so disappointed. It could be me that nothing will ever work for me as I have been bite in UK this year.Sorry it's not ap good review

I am prone to mosquitoes and recently got a tick bite .So I bought these and find nothing has come near me since wearing them.
