Many people are annoyed and scared by the strong smell coming from this product.Some mothers use it, putting it on a stroller or on the leg of a walking baby, noting its effectiveness, while others scold it for its weak effect.

I used the Gardex Baby bracelet several times during the summer while walking in the forest or park. I put it on my son’s leg, because otherwise he tried to taste it. She noticed that mosquitoes attack him less, they are frightened off by a pungent smell. My child does not suffer from allergies, so the aroma did not interfere with him.

Alice, Kiev

Therefore the problem tick protection and vileness is acute for me, and Antikleshch-M helped me solve it. The main thing is that he worked almost all summer and helped to avoid mosquito and tick bites.

Sergey, Moscow Region

Due to frequent trips to nature in our family, the problem of using protective agents against bloodsucking parasites (ticks and mosquitoes) is acute. This year we bought an ultrasound bracelet, albeit an expensive one, but decided to try it out. The experience was a success: for the whole summer we did not find ticks either on ourselves or on children. Therefore, the purchase paid off.
