So anyway, - What was this topic originally about ??
Ah!  -  I remember. Mozzies.
I seem to think that, a few years, they advertised a wrist band that had a small battery in it and, when on, emitted a sound which was supposed to keep these little blood suckers away. Does anyone remember these?
Did they ever work, we wonder?

I got it slightly wrong on the wrist band. Someone in work remembers them though. It was a small battery operated box that clipped to your belt for an evening out. Apparently, and not heard by the human ear, the high pitched sound it gave out was supposed to deter the mozzies.

Hello Eggy,
Better for you than all those chemicals i suppose,did they work though?

I have just recently read an advert in the "Times Travel Section" about an insect repellant called "Jungle Formula" - No joke - Honest!!
The Jungle Formula standard range is, as they quote, for use in
non-tropical areas. It does not give a price though.
Site is www.jungleformula.co.uk.

Jungle Formula according to my misses is the best she has used.

It also keeps the Elephants away as well - have you ever seen an elephant in Arillas ?? - no thought not - so it must work

I don't think they worked as well as the "Jungle Formula"
Well - At least according to R & C.

hi Folks,

Just a quick word on the jungle formula!  It doesn't work on midges up here in Scotland....  I know because i've tried it. Ouch!

I suppose that's one of the problems of wearing that Kilt!

I worked with someone about 25 years ago now and he used to holiday in Scotland.He was told to use jungle fomular(he went camping),but he told me it didnot kill the midgies they just stuck to his face in the liquid.

The thing about the midges, is that unlike mozzies you get 3 or 4 at a time , the midge comes out in their millions!  
They get in your ears and up your nose and they bite like Hell,
( the little S#*ts, Got myself scratching just thinking about them.........lol).

So i quite like the mozzies

Well i can cope with them

Hi all,

I arrived back from arillas on Monday    i loved everything about it and wil certainly be returning as soon as possible.

I usually get eaten by mozzies but i used Jungle Formula and didn't get bit once! I was very supprised but i used it non stop. When i ran out i found the Autan to be just as good, i found towards the end of the holiday, as arillas got busy there were alot more mozzies about.

I have been very poorly since i got back though, not sure if it was the food on the plane that has made me ill but i have been in bed for days..... never mind though i have fantastic memories of arillas to dream about!
