These mosquito bands have clocked up hundreds of five star reviews – and they’re just £10.99!

Goodbye bites, hello brights

With temperatures climbing into the thirties, summer has well and truly arrived.

And what better way to spend the spate of sunny days than with a spot of al fresco living?

From picnics in the local park to barbecues in the back garden – there’s a whole lot to love about the combination food, friends and an envy-inducing Fahrenheit reading.

The only thing that can spoil this scene apart from unexpected rainfall or grass stains on our newly purchased white jeans is the presence of mosquitos.

Luckily the internet is buzzing with news of a new mosquito repellent that’s as eye-catching as it is effective.

With hundreds of 5-star reviews on Amazon The Body Source - Mosquito Repellent Bracelets, could see you banish your bug spray to the back of the bathroom cupboard for good.

Priced at £10.99 for a 10 pack the colourful bands are DEET free and feature 100 per cent natural ingredients – Citronella, Lemongrass and Geraniol essential oils – which have been proven to repel mosquitoes mid-flight.

Each bracelet also offers a 250 HOURS (10 DAYS) protection and the one size bracelets fit both adults and children alike. Plus they’re waterproof, so are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

One wrote: ‘I bought these ahead of a camping trip as my son and I always get bitten. They are easy to wear (we wore them on our ankles) and we didn’t get bitten once whilst wearing them. They come in an array of colours and last for 10 days. They smell quite strong at first but you get used to it.’

While another added: 'These were recommended by a friend to me and as we were off on holiday thought I’d give them a try. They are fantastic and do exactly what they’re supposed to, I didn’t get bitten once until the night I forgot to put it in and ended up with three bites, so they most definitely work.

‘Great choice of colours,easy to wear for everyone in the family and they look great .Would recommend these and will buy again without a doubt.’
