How to avoid insect bites!

• Use insect repellents on exposed skin before you get bitten - not after!
• Wear light coloured clothing during the day.
• Avoid shady spots. Biting is less common in sunshine and brightly lit areas.
• Avoid sheltered spots, a breeze will make it hard for mosquitoes, midges, sandfly and many other insects to find you.
• Avoid areas close to water and waterlogged ground where insects hatch or breed.
• Use loose long sleeved tops and trousers to cover exposed skin on arms and legs, particularly at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes bite most.
• Repellent treated clothing provides extra protection.
• Close mosquito screens and hang mosquito nets before dark.
• Treated mosquito nets kill the insects that land on it and reduce the risk.
• Use a mosqui-go, mosquito coils or insecticide spray to clear rooms of insects before you retire for the night.

You don't have to be bitten! We supply a variety of insect and mosquito repellents and killers. All are tried and properly tested for their effectiveness. Some use DEET, others natural plant extracts such as citronella, and eucalyptus. We even have insect repellents suitable for children and sensitive skins. Remember SafariQuip's promise, 'if it doesn't work, we don't stock it'.

For those people who tell us they "always get bitten". A good practical tip is to take two good repellents with different active ingredients. Experience has shown us that occasionally, combinations of individual and location defeat even the best 'bomb proof' repellents. Having two different repellents means you haven't all your eggs in one basket and this usually solves the problem.

For most, discomfort and temporary disfigurement are all that insect bites cause. For a very small cost most of the discomfort and risk are preventable.
