Pestects Reviews 

Seriously rubbish. Just returned from Turkey & our family of 8 got bitten badly. We even got bitten around the bracelet. Huge waste of money ☹️

We found pestects via an advert and gave them a go on our first trip to Türkiye. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked not just for me but for my family. My daughter liked how we could mix and match colours for the outfits as we would generally only wear them in the evening. She had one as an anklet as well given the generous sizing. The smell is not overwhelming and I believe made a real difference from pesky bites. We’ve used them ever since on our holidays - we use in conjunction with Neals Yard spray as well and this is the best combination for us. Great product, convenient, effective and safe to use. Give it a try!

They look and smell nice but they don’t do the job, my friend & I got badly bitten wearing them. 👎

I have just come back from Borneo and despite being right in the jungle1 hr 45mins over the open sea in a speedboat despite lots of insects, I didnt get bitten once and everytime insects were around they moved away from me. I wore a bracelet on each wrist and one round each ankle. A great product that really works.

These work brilliantly we were always getting bit ,we work in a warehouse through the night and they have the doors open so all the biting insects would fly in and eat our ankles especially, yet we first tried these last year(2025) and no bites whatsoever. My husband wears his on his wrist but I have to wear mine on my ankle as I have a very strong sense of smell and they are really strong but they work and that's the main thing I want to say, I have told my colleagues at work and my friends about these I will highly recommend these

Honestly, as an individual who is highly allergic to everything,these have been a blessing.
Stylish but effective. Coupled with the bug spray repellent and the bite pen my reactions to bug bites can now be controlled effectively. Thank you

Brilliant bands , strong , attractive and effective . Good variety of colours if you are like me and enjoy matching things .
Have bought elsewhere in the past and they have been flimsy and broken . These are strong .

I was so looking forward to receiving these and having a ‘bite’ free holiday. They look and smell great and come well packaged and I like the fact that they claim to be natural and a family run company. But truth is - they just didn’t work. Got loads of bites throughout my holiday despite wearing one on my wrist and ankle. Even changed them every few days - but just didn’t work - so disappointed

Time to buy some more of these.
Not only do they look good, they actually work too.
My husband and I used these for our holiday to Thailand and we were not bitten once, even after a day in the jungle.

Started to used them abroad 3 years ago and the spray, They are comfortable to wear, have a nice smell are waterproof and more importantly they stop bites.

My husband and I love these. We’ve used them twice on holiday in Costa Rica where the mosquitoes can be particularly bitey and they’ve always been very effective. I’m very prone to getting bitten so I tend to wear as both an anklet and bracelet when we go out. I much prefer these to covering myself in Deet

Unfortunately didn't work for us. Still got bitten by midges. Also the dye from the darker bracelets went onto clothes and our skin.

We first tried these a couple of years ago as we thought the idea of combining an attractive and fun holiday bracelet with an active insect repellent was a good one. They worked so well that we have used them on all our holidays since and we are abroad about 3 times a year. We have recommended them to all our friends and family and we wouldn’t do that if we weren’t happy and confident with the product. I love picking out what colour I’m going wear next as there’s such a choice.

They appear to have worked really well! The year before I ended up with loads of bites but the year I used these I had no bites at all

I ordered Pestects patches and bracelets last year and think they are great fun for kids whilst offering pretty robust protection which appears to be herbal and gentle. I love mosi-dots (patches)and am pleased to have been able to source some from a small business.

I get bitten terribly as soon as the weather warms up.
I wear these bands from April
To October and on holiday. They work brilliantly!

Excellent product, the bracelets come in various colours so my son and husband usually choose the darker colours, my daughter and I the brighter. We’ve been Mexico, Tenerife and turkey and these bands have never let us down. My daughter has had leukemia and undergone a bone marrow transplant so we are always extremely worried about bites with her but these bands have given us much more peace of mind. She wears one on her wrist and one on her ankle and has been great every time. Please don’t hesitate- get them NOW!

Works well. We went to southern Spain in August and were not bitten. My son’s partner declined to wear one and was bitten. They look unobtrusive but do have a strong fragrance but it’s not overpowering.

I really, really wanted these to work. I loved the design and thought they were really nice looking and good quality. Unfortunately they didn't work for me. Initially I thought they were, we were in the South of France and the first few days were fine. I am always very attractive to mosquitoes but after 4 days I still had no bites. I had one on my wrist and one on my ankle. Then in one night alone I had over 40 bites, especially on the leg that had the pestects band on. The next night I had more. I was literally covered in bites. The worst I ever had. Needed to go to the pharmacy.
I loved the idea and the design, unfortunately didn't work for me 😔

Took on holiday and didn't get bitten once. Easy to wear and don't even know on.
