It doesn't work at all. [Posted on 2006-05-26]
I bought two of this Bite Shield. There is a small fan to blow out some smell of chemical. The mosquito doesn't care about the smell. I was surrounded by mosquitoes and got bite the same as without this product. There is almost no wind. It is really disappointed.

I can't believe it works! [Posted on 2006-05-27]
I am amazed. My mom sent this to me after I'd complained about already being eaten alive by mosquitos this year. I don't just get bites; I get huge, oddly shaped, so-itchy-they're-almost-painful, welts. And I am that person who attracts every single biting insect. I have often wished that I sweated DEET. However, I don't.

I tried this dubiously, first in the morning--I'd been getting bites every day between 8 and 10am (even with high % deet). --No bites.-- I still didn't believe it. I used it again that evening--after a rainstorm had come through--from about 6pm to 10pm. No bites! It comes with a belt clip, but I left it outside at one point when I came inside. The second I left its side, a mosquito landed on me.

I have, since then, used it several more times, no insect spray at all, and it's been very muggy around here. Absolutely no bites. I have seen a couple more bees than usual, and it turns out that the ingredient this blows out (geraniol) is said to attract bees. Not a big deal to me.

It apparently doesn't work for everyone. I have always assumed that there is some sort of chemical I give off that makes mosquitos head straight for me, bypassing everyone else. (I might be at a party where no one else even sees a mosquito and I leave with over a dozen bites.) I wonder if the geraniol somehow combines with whatever it is that I put out and neutralizes it. This could explain why it would work for some people and not other people.

At this price, it's worth it to find out if you are one of the people for whom it might work! I figure if I replace the cartridge every 2 weeks (~$3.50/cartridge), I will even be saving money because I'd been going through 1-2 cans of high-deet bug spray per week.

good for children's bedroom [Posted on 2006-07-09]
I have purchased Lentek Bite Shield because it is the only product I was able to find, that works on the same principle as european mosquito repellents I am used to. I needed it for my daughter's bedroom so I couldn't use any type of candles for the safety reasons and I didn't want to use anything that rubbs directly on the skin since she has extremely sensitive skin. Lentek Bite Shild seems to work pretty well, she got bitten only once - the night I forgot to turn it on. Now I plan to buy the adapter to plug it in the outlet. That way I would be sure that the batteries wouldn't die in the middle of the night.

Works Well [Posted on 2007-08-13]
Bought this and it seems to be working well. I used to have all these small bites on my forearms but they have all disappeared since I started using this repellent.
The con to this device is that the small fan that blows the aroma is so weak, the only way to hear it even working is to hold it up to your ear. I have it in front of my window fan that blows most of the aroma throughout the room, so that is probably why it is working as well as it is.

At last something that works indoors.... [Posted on 2007-09-24]
Moving to Florida I realised what a big problem mosquitos can be in summer. For me it was a greater problem because my wife and son seem extremely allergic to mosquito bites....even a single mosquito bite can make them red all-over. I found hardly any product for indoor use and it was tough to avoid a stray mosquito sneaking in and biting during the night. This product has worked like a charm (in my 2 weeks of use).
