In the truest sense of the word, this is the best insect repellent is there is! When we last year (2011) in such a way that mosquitoes besieged, all the neighbors we had verkrümelten in the apartments a good laugh. We heard it while humming, but that was all. So a mosquito net I can only recommend. Incidentally, this is already my second. The first held about 3 years and then it have the grandchildren managed. PRIMA !!
